AV Festival 08 - Broadcast - first call for proposals

by Honor Harger

Dear Ada, I hope this email finds you all well and enjoying the Southern march towards Spring. Please find below the first announcement for AV Festival 08 in the North East of England. This doubles as our first call for proposals and a sneak preview regarding the dates and theme of the festival, for our friends and colleagues. A full announcement will be forthcoming in October. As some of you know, the AV Festival is a biennial international festival of electronic arts, featuring visual art, music and moving image. The next festival will be in February and March 2008, and will examine the changing face of broadcasting in the light of the increasing move towards digitisation across Europe and beyond. It will explore transmission, the airwaves, spectrum ecology and the enduring appeal of the electromagnetic wave. The first call for proposals is for a new sound-based commission (fee UK£5000) <http://www.avfestival.co.uk/opportunities>. Very soon we'll also be calling for artists to help us create radio stations across the North East region, and to work on several other commissions. I hope this is of interest to some of you and that you'll consider responding to either this call, or our subsequent ones. Sincere apologies for cross-posting! Very best wishes Honor Harger Director AV Festival http://www.avfestival.co.uk/ http://www.avfest.co.uk/subscribe/ _________________________ AV FESTIVAL 08 - FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT SNEAK PREVIEW & CALL FOR PROPOSALS AV Festival 08 http://www.avfestival.co.uk/ Newcastle, Gateshead, Middlesbrough, Sunderland, UK First deadline for proposals: 15 October 2007 http://www.avfestival.co.uk/opportunities AV Festival is an international festival of electronic arts, featuring visual art, music and moving image. A biennial event, the festival takes place in Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland and Middlesbrough in the North East of England. The next AV Festival will be held 28 February - 8 March 2008. The theme of AV Festival 08 is Broadcast. This October, the BBC begin to switch off analogue television signals in the UK, paving the way for television to become entirely digital. At the same time as this profound change in our experience of broadcasting takes place, the internet and mobile networks have created opportunities for us to 'broadcast ourselves' in entirely new ways. As the landscape of broadcasting changes irrevocably, AV Festival 08 will be a catalyst for debate about the future of broadcasting, and an event to celebrate a century of on-air and online transmission. AV Festival 08 will include internationally renowned artists, filmmakers, researchers and musicians as well as emerging practitioners. It will feature: - New commissions of art, music and moving image - Open Air: an outdoor programme of events - Concerts & Performances - Exhibitions in galleries and museums - A moving image programme - FM Radio Stations - Club events and parties - An industry debate - Seminars, conferences and talks - Workshops We will be making a full announcement about the festival theme and some aspects of the programme mid October. ___AV Festival 08: getting involved AV Festival 08 is providing creative practitioners with an opportunity to contribute ideas to the programme. In the next two months, we will announce a series of opportunities for artists, musicians, filmmakers, DJs, VJs, designers, theorists, technologists, scientists, philosophers and others to contribute to the festival. The first of these opportunities is a call for proposals for a site-specific audio art commission at the Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens. The fee is GBP5000. If you have an idea for a new work which responds to our theme and the context of the Winter Gardens, we would like to hear about it. See below for more details. In the coming weeks, we will also call for proposals from artists and producers who want to get involved with our radio stations, filmmakers who want to create a new work for the festival, and critics and philosophers who want to contribute to our conferences. ___AV Festival 08: call for proposals AV Festival will commission new work especially for the festival, as well as present creative work which has already been produced. We are now calling for proposals from artists or musicians for a new site-specific audio artwork for the Sunderland Winter Gardens. Experienced artists are invited to submit original ideas for a work that responds to both the festival's theme and the unique environment of the Winter Gardens. The fee for this commission is GBP 5000. Artists wishing to submit a proposal must download the brief for this commission from the AV Festival website, read the guidelines and send a proposal by email.

Urban Screens Manchester Newsletter 5

by Sarah Turner

SPECIAL OFFER - BOOK BEFORE SEPTEMBER 30th Two days: GBP80 / GBP60 concs One day: GBP60 / GBP40 concs DELEGATE RATES AFTER SEPTEMPER 30th Two days: GBP100 / GBP80 concs One day: GBP80 / GBP60 Which curatorial criteria should be applied to the creation and curation of urban screens? Do urban screens suit a presentation of elaborate artistic content or will entertainment win over art? These questions along with many others will be addressed on day two of the conference, accompanied by two inspiring screenings from the art & events programme. Read on... Focus Session: Curating Screen Art for an Urban and Architectural Context, Cornerhouse Moderator Mike Stubbs (UK) is Director of FACT in Liverpool. His own internationally commissioned artwork includes media installations and large-scale projections for public environments. He will lead the discussion on the role that curators and new media experts could play in the conception of media facades and other urban screens. At present, many existing urban screens lack the comprehensive sophistication that allows exploration of spatial, architectural or medial potentials. Sylvia Kouvali (GR) is the initiator and curator of Yama, the first international space for publicising contemporary art in Turkey that opened in July 2007. Based on this experience, Kouvali will present a dialogue on how democratic or populist the content of the imposing and omnipresent screen can be and how much one can really show in public. Michelle Kasprzak (CA/UK) is a curator, writer, and artist. She argues that presenting artwork on urban screens comes with a special set of considerations, challenges, and advantages that are unique to that context. Kasprzak will examine the opportunities that are opened up to artists and curators within this emerging format. Dooeun Choi (KR) is the curator at Art Center Nabi which opened in 2000 as the first media art centre in Seoul, Korea. She will introduce COMO, an extended media platform located in the centre. Since 2004, the LED displays have been known as a unique multi-media installation which integrates art and architecture to create a new convergence. The focus is not on the outcomes but the creative energy emerging from free and imaginative human communication. Otherworldly & Best of Transmedia, All screens Curated by Michelle Kasprzak, Otherworldly premiered on the public screen at Federation Square, Melbourne, and features contributions by artists that take viewers on a journey through spaces that are at once familiar and alien. Best of Transmedia is a programme for which artists produced moving-image work that is very short (often a minute or less), and that could be sandwiched between advertisements. But as with most limitations, the condition of using urban screens as a platform fosters innovative work. Communication <--> Spaces, All Saints Dooeun Choi has curated Communication <--> Spaces, a time-based visual poem and collaboration between the Korean motion graphics designer Weong-Woong Cheong and artist Bill Seaman. The work poetically explores notions of the space of communication, underlined by traditional Korean music and experimental dance music. Register your interest now at www.manchesterurbanscreens.org.uk Urban Screens Manchester has been curated by Dr Susanne Jaschko . Urban Screens Manchester has been supported by Cornerhouse and BBC. It has been funded by Arts Council England, Manchester City Council, Marketing Manchester.

New Digital Art at Mary Newton Gallery

by Mary Newton Gallery

Hear my train 'a comin' new work by Brit Bunkley opens at Mary Newton Gallery on 11 September. It features a new series of digital 3-D prints, moving image works and 3-D objects. The work develops his themes of paranoia and whimsy in the New Zealand countryside. Originally motivated by the need to accurately visualize proposals for public art commissions in the early 90's, Brit Bunkley began using digital media. Now he uses it in all it's many forms ranging from video installation to photographic prints. Hear my train a' comin' includes digital 3-D prints - computer generated sculptures, fabricated from 3D Studio Max files - duplicates of the same files rendered as videos and two dimensional photographic prints. The exhibition's 2-D prints resemble carefully rendered ink drawings or etchings. The images are of animals (domestic, predators and pests) created as virtual "wire frame" objects. Some have strange "growths" and tattoo inspired incisions; others have oblique words borrowed from rock lyrics digitally "cut" into their bodies. Bunkley's work replicates dreamscapes featuring architecture and animals as tropes of angst, denial and hope. The content is often darkly whimsical and satirical, as well as obliquely social-political, psychological and environmental. Hear my train a' comin' opens on 12 September and runs until 29 September 2007. www.marynewtongallery.com
