Call: Open Space seeks audio artists

AUDIOSPACE – CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS – DEADLINE JUNE 15, 2007

http://www.openspace.ca/audiospace/2007/2007-call-for-submissions.html

Open Space Artist-Run Centre in Victoria, BC, Canada, announces a
Call for Submissions for Audiospace, a web-audio site on the Open
Space website openspace.ca.? In its 35 years of supporting and
promoting experimentalism in the arts, Open Space has a long
tradition of discussing and exploring the practice and impact of new
media and new methods of audio dissemination.? We continue the
adventure with the 3rd edition of Audiospace and a Call for
Submissions, Where Does It Begin? developed by sound artist Chantal
Dumas.



Where Does It Begin?


For it matters not how small the beginning may seem to be

- Henry David Thoreau, On the Duty of Civil Disobedience

"The question of how a work of art comes into being is a fascinating
one. At one time or another, we have all had the experience of being
struck by a piece of art. We ask ourselves: were did that idea come
from? In general, we all agree about the elusive nature of the
creative process, and confronted with our inability to define how it
works, we choose to talk of mystery.

The creative process allows the passage from the unconscious to the
conscious and to the visible. I am interested in understanding where
it all begins -- the internal movement, and its materialization:

What is the starting point of the creative act? What is it that
generates an emotion, a turbulence so strong that it provokes the need
within us to create something? At what moment does a piece of art
start to be «written»? What path does it follow? What is it that
allows it to pass from inside to outside? What is it that leads to
its materialization via sound, paper, color, or movement?

These questions are at the core of sound art. I am inviting you to
reflect on them by creating a short sound piece of your own.

Here is a starting point from which I suggest you work. The rest is
up to you.

ATMOSPHERE: spicy. STYLE: confined. COLOR: elegant.

Duration: 7 minutes maximum
Dynamics: as necessary
Please attach to your submission a short text answering these two
questions:
When did you feel that the work was starting to be «written»?
How did that first become evident to you?"

-Chantal Dumas, March 2007



SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
By June 15, 2007 please submit your project electronically to Open
Space New Music audiospace.openspace@gmail.com with the subject
heading SUBMISSION and include the following:

- MP3 format audio file (192KBit/sec)*, between 5 and 7 minutes
- One paragraph Bio
- Description of the work

(* Other file or streaming formats are acceptable, but becomes the
responsibility of the submitter to provide support for users.)


All submissions will be open to public listening, discussion and a
jury selection process via the openspace.ca site from June 16 to
September 14, 2007.? Submitting artists are invited to maintain a
virtual presence on the openspace.ca site through the duration of the
contest through forums and other forms of interaction with Chantal
Dumas, other participants and site visitors. All submitted works will
be featured during a Virtual Live Audiospace event September 15, 2007

the public jury process will be announced. All submitted works will
become permanent additions to openspace.ca and will be featured until
the next Audiospace edition.

$600 will be distributed amongst winners of categories to be
determined by the participants through the contest. This year's
edition of Audiospace is intended to explore the connection between
artists and the jury process by involving them directly, and also
with the nature of digital audio and new forms of audio consumption.
Artists will be encouraged to discuss these topics amongst themselves
and with visitors to openspace.ca
