OPEN CALL -[DEADLINE 7 FEBRUARY]

Leap Day Newspaper // Can't you wait for leap day? Because we can't. Leap day is not waiting for me or you, that time - once every four years, where we left and keep returning, every second, every minute, every hour and so on.

We (myself, Dasha Leo, Pien Overing and Luca Fedele) are composing a newspaper in honor of this day and we are accepting (looking for!) submissions.
What do you know about the year 2100? Do you love feb 19? Then this newspaper is for you!! Do you have friends or family who have a special connection to leap day? and you want to put them in a spotlight? Do you write stories? Do you like time? Anyone can submit to the leap day newspaper!

If you would like to, please submit your leap day contribution (it can be a drawing, writing, a photograph, anything basically) by the 7th of february to

tramhouse11@gmail.com

and include your name, the title, etc. The newspaper will be printed on a Riso RZ300 EP printer brought to you by Have A Good Dog Press. Printing will be in black and white and the size of each page will be A4.

The newspapers will be available for sale at the launch in Amsterdam and afterwards a scan will be made available online. Physical copies can be sent by us by mail as well. The launch of the paper will be on the leap day (29th Feb) at Tramhouse 11 (Surinameplein 120, Amsterdam) with an accompanying exhibition. More information on that will follow soon!

Tramhouse 11 is the former office break room for the personnel of tram line 11 to Centraal Station. The line was put out of function during the Covid-19 pandemic, the tram house now functions as a studio, and the tracks next to the tram house are still in use as a loop for tram 17.

Send your submissions and questions to tramhouse11@gmail.com and we will get back to you asap!
