Open Call for Art Projects/Residencies – PAIVASCAPES #1 – deadline 30 September 2009
PAIVASCAPES #1
Structure, Process and Perception of a River
International Open Call for Art Projects
Selection of 12 art projects to be developed during several 2-week residency modules to take place between February and October 2010.
Closing date for the open call: 30 September 2009
Art disciplines: Phonography; sound installation; vocal performance; sound poetry; acoustic, electroacoustic or electronic improvisation / composition.
The Nodar Artist Residency Program for 2010 will have a single aggregating subject: the Paiva River. Throughout the year, from winter to autumn, several multidisciplinary art projects (having sound as a central element) will be developed in a context-specific perspective, interacting with the river’s different geographical areas, from its spring to its mouth. A tribute to a small river that is a symbol of a region that (still) can live in a well-balanced interaction with nature. Following the relationship that exists between the village of Nodar and the Paiva River, which already motivated the development of several art works, it was now decided to spread this interaction to the whole course of the river, giving a sense of coherence and plurality to the reflection, tracing continuity and rupture lines, patterns, densities and transitional zones, either related with geographical and human elements.
In the beginning of 2011 the several art works will be presented to local audiences, in the context of an event that will include conferences, concerts, video screenings and a retrospective exhibition of the whole project. This exhibition will later follow an itinerancy through several towns along the course of the Paiva River and will have an underlying program of educational activities intended for children and youths.

The London Churches project, by Edward Picot
[From Edward]
All my life I’ve lived within a train-journey of London, and all my adult life I’ve visited the capital several times a year. On those journeys I invariably find myself looking out of the train window and wondering what it would be like to stop and explore the places going by outside – especially the churches. My father was an extremely religious man and my grandfather was a bellringer, and perhaps because of these factors, although not religious myself, I do find that churches tend to catch my attention, in any fleeting glimpse of a village, a town, a suburb or a city.
Out of these feelings, in the course of the last few years, the plan for the London Churches project has emerged. The idea is to visit every church in the City of London – and probably a few outside – and use the visits as the basis of an online work. This isn’t a blog, and it certainly isn’t a historical or architectural guide. It’s a work of hyperfiction, but derived from real places, real experiences, real observations and real conversations. In many ways it isn’t about the churches themselves, but the experience of visiting them.
Part 1 is based on a visit made on Monday 6th April 2009, which took in the following:
St Martin-in-the-Fields
St Paul’s, Covent Garden
St Clement Danes
Temple Church
St Dunstan-in-the-West
St Bride’s, Fleet Street
St Martin, Ludgate
