Call: Murcia Festival seeks artists to collaborate on the theme of sustainability

Dept. of Culture Region Murcia
FESTIVAL SOS 4.8 MURCIA

CALL FOR ARTISTS
http://www.sos48.com/en/index.php?seccion=1

Murcia launches the Event SOS 4.8: 48 hours of non-stop artistic creation related to the concept of sustainability

The City of Murcia has been very active these past years in the field of contemporary culture. One of the outstanding institutions is the CENDEAC (Centre for Documentation and Advanced Studies of Contemporary Art) which has organized conferences, panels, and symposiums with key thinkers such as Antonio Neri, Slavoj Zizek, Zygmunt Bauman, Nicolas Bourriaud, and James Clifford.

Pedro Alberto Cruz, former director of CENDEAC and actual Counsellor of Culture of Region Murcia, explains that Murcia has always had a great interest in promoting the study and production of contemporary art practices. And in this sense –he proceeds- the Festival SOS 4.8 aims to be an original proposal to contemporary cultural practices reflecting around the concept of sustainability and allowing a fruitful dialogue among disciplines like visual arts, Visual Jockeying (VJ), net art, performance, music, and theory.

INCLUSIVE SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability basically means meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In words of the artistic director, Paco Barragán, SOS 4.8 understands sustainability not only in exclusively ecological terms –an issue that has become very urgent but at the same time very trendy these days-, but also as a concept that allows us to reflect and re-frame visual culture, democracy, information society, techno-sustainability, consumer society –CULTURE- as well as tourism, immigration, nature, and urbanism –ENVIRONMENT.

48 HOURS FORMAT
New times impose new challenges, and as a result suggest new formats. Thus SOS 4.8 has been conceived as an intense laboratory where during 48 hours artistic creation and exhibition will go hand in hand blurring the strict lines between artist and audience. Thus, all the selected works will be produced in situ in 24 hours and exhibited the next 24 hours. The artist will have the exhibition site or the city of Murcia as stage to carry out his or her proposal.

FROM INTERPASSIVITY TO INTERACTIVITY
From the traditional artistic institutions interpassivity (Robert Pfaller), wherein communication is only one-way, hierarchical, and imposed on the visitor, SOS 4.8 proposes a more democratic and exciting concept of interactivity by allowing the public to assist and be part of the artistic process. Culture, art and artistic practices are not any longer medium-based but idea-based. So visual artists, not only stick to their medium but engage with Visual Jockeying (VJ) and Digital Film -Micha Klein-, or play in a gothic rock band -Marc Bijl-, thus creating challenging exchanges between contemporary culture and arts.

CURATORIAL TEAM
SOS 4.8 has selected a diverse and distinguished international curatorial team:
-Christiane Paul, Adj. Curator New Media Whitney Museum (USA)
-Rirkrit Tiravanija, artist and curator, (Argentina/Thailand)
-Paco Barragán, independent curator and artistic director SOS 4.8 (Spain)

OPEN CALL AND SECTIONS
SOS 4.8 is a mix of invitational and open call. All artists are invited to take part in the open call, regardless of their nationality, residence or age. A total of 6 artists will be selected by the curators from the proposals sent via the open call to our website http://www.sos48.com for the following sections:
I) Visual Arts
II) Net Art or Visual Jockeying (VJ)
III) Performance

The 6 artists from the open call will be invited, together with 6 artists selected directly by the curators, and 3 artists from Murcia selected by the Artistic Director, to come to Murcia to carry out the selected proposal on the 2nd and 3rd of May 2008.

ARTIST PER DIEM AND PRODUCTION BUDGET
The selected artists will receive the following:
I) (Total) Artist fee of 2..500 Euros
II) Production/Equipment materials up to 2..000 Euros
III) Flight and Hotel up to 2.500 Euros

Call: MUTEK 2008

Call: Guelph booking opportunities for VJs

Hello strangers, my name is Ricky, I deejay under the name Ricky Bionix
and host a residency in Guelph every Thursday night which I have just
recently moved from the Albion Hotel to a new venue called the
Salsateria. Amongst other changes that go hand in hand with the move is
that I would like to place greater emphasis on artist involvement and
visual atmosphere. I've had a local video artist, Scott McGovern of Ed
Video mixing video live at the event before and will have a Toronto
artist visiting on the 8th to project his time lapse photography (he
will also be playing a dj set earlier in the night). This idea is still
defining itself and so I am open to suggestions and various ways of
going about things.

This post is a call out to visual artists, mostly in the realm of
projection, although I am open to other ideas. I would like to book
artists to show their stuff at this weekly event. Pay will not be
phenomenal (yeah, it's tough for everyone), but we'll get you here and
back and you'll have an opportunity to share your work.

If interested, please email me at daydream.nation.music
[at]gmail[dot]com letting me know who you are, what you do (links are
great), and what sort of compensation you would expect.

Hope to hear from you soon. Feel free to pass this along to friends who
might be interested.

Using Arkaos VJing software, instructors Carrie Gates and Leeane Berger will guide you through a series of fun and focused workshops that will take you from recording and digitizing your own video footage to programming video mixing software to being ready for a live VJ performance.

More about the instructors, VJs Leeane Berger and Carrie Gates:

Carrie Gates – VJ Instructor
Carrie Gates' diverse art practices span the realms of VJing, experimental turntablism, sound art, sculpture, performance art, digital media, and the catylization of provocative interactive situations. Her work is unified by a pluralist vision and an appetite for teasing the uncanny from the familiar, critically yet playfully using and abusing any media she encounters. Recently, Gates has been working with creating innovative VJ performances using Max/MSP/Jitter and Arkaos software, sharing her findings with her peers through workshops and artist talks to encourage others to reclaim digital media as a tool for personal artistic expression and social change. Since 1996, she has been performing regularly at electronic music events, noise and experimental music shows, new media festivals, and art galleries. Her performances, compositions, videos, and research work have been shown across Canada as well as in Germany and the USA.

Leeane Berger – Assistant VJ Instructor
As part of a new generation of artists, Leeane Berger is currently working in the discovery, documentation and rediscovery of all things - great and small - that make up everyday living in Saskatchewan. In 2004 Leeane set out with a project to refurbish trash from alleys, sidewalks, parks and dumpsters. This endeavor propelled her into further exploration of salvaged and found materials. Leeane works in a variety of techniques and media in attempt to correlate viewer with surroundings. Using simple electronics to bring motion to a piñata television made from found electrical cords, wire and spray paint to the exploration of substance use in adding texture and depth to her found object paintings, Leeane is on a constant look out for new tools of expression. Working most recently in video, a medium she began working with while briefly attending Concordia University in 2005, has lead to experimentation with video mixing and animation. Her videos have since morphed from canadian video art inspired short-films into grungy expressionistic mixups for teasing and pleasing the eye.

Callout: OM Festival looking for help with their annual festival

Hello Everyone!
Happy 2007!

It has been over 6 months since In:tent, and although the frost of
winter is still upon us, the days are lengthening with a gradual
solar sweetness, and we are happily reminded that the time has come
once again to begin planning this years gathering!

At this early stage of the game, we are calling out to you, our
greater and extended community, to help us with some of the most
difficult issues.


LAND

Each year finding a suitable site for the gathering is a difficult
task -- probably the most difficult. This year we want to take an
early opportunity to call out to our community and extended networks
for assistance in the hunt. YOU are part of this endeavor and we hope
you will take this responsibility seriously!

We prefer sites that are 70 or more acres, where we can all make a
great deal of noise! Crown land is the ideal neighbor, but bordering
welcoming, tolerant, or at least extremely well buffered neighbors,
could also be suitable.

Other considerations include swimming and drinking water--ideally on
site--but we are open to alternate solutions. The festival will run
from June 18th to June 24th 2007 with a few days on either end for
set up and tear down.

Our shout-out to you is a Serious Request -- Please ask your families
and extended social networks; if you meet people in bars/etc. who
mention that they own seemingly suitable land, get their phone number
and pass it this way! land@omreunionproject.org


COORDINATORS

Each year the festival is organized by a small group of committed and
industrious community members who are willing to invest their time on
a regular basis. These volunteers work individually, as well as in
groups, before, during, and after the gathering has ended.

Many of the people who have done these roles in past years are
planning to do somewhat less this year, but still be available as
mentors with helpful advice on what did and didn't work before.

Signing up to be a coordinator means you want to take a leadership
role in how the festival is planned and run. You will share
responsibility and accountability for all aspects of your chosen are
a(s) which can demand a fair amount of time. In return you'll get to
work with a bunch of crazy ORPies to help create one of the best
weeks of the year.

Sound like a lot of work? Sound like a lot of fun?

If so, please email us and let us know which areas you are interested
in. We will be having a kick-off meeting in the next few weeks and
you'll want to be there.

Here's the breakdown:

Site / land / logistics / transportation

Organization / admin / finance / gate / memberships

Entertainment programming / sound / design / build

Communications / website / membership / promotions

Edutainment / theme camps / workshops / CALM (Centre for
Alternative Living Medicine)

Health and safety / first aid / mental health

kitchen

As a side note, while we encourage you to begin planning your Theme
Camps, Art Installations, Workshops, volunteering, etc., please don't
respond to this email with those ideas. Their time will come soon,
once all the festival coordination is in place. In the meantime
please feel free to use the OMMB forums to discuss your solstice
plans with the rest of the community: http://www.omfestival.com/ommb

Thanks and look forward to working with you soon!
