Call for works

Sound and Visual Artists are invited to contribute to Snd:arc- (Sound and Architecture) a free evening of open air live sound art and visual experimentation. The event will be curated by Paul Adams and Garrett Lynch as part of the non-profit audio / visual organisation Open Ear (http://openear.wordpress.com/). We are seeking in particular artists who can work with the outside space in a live context; this can range from approaches such as the projection of visual based works on the building fascias through to site specific responses recording and manipulating the surrounding architecture and environment. Individual performances can last up to 30 minutes and will take place in the courtyard of Canterbury Christ Church University, Broadstairs Campus, Kent, England from 8pm on Friday the 11th of May.

As we are non-profit based organisation and the event is free we are unable to offer any individual payment but will provide access to a limited supply of equipment (please include a list of requirements in your proposal and we will attempt to cater for this), suitable refreshments and possibly accommodation if required. This event is run by Open Ear as part of an initiative to bring new forms of live audio / visual art to an area currently undergoing a cultural regeneration.

Please email short proposals with a list of required equipment (no more than one page) by Friday 27/04/07 as word / pdf / rtf / txt document (not pasted into the email) to:
