"Call for Artists: Composers and sound artists for New Zealand's 'Revolutions per Minute'"
2003-01-22 until 2003-02-05
Physics Room
Christchurch, , NZ New Zealand (Aotearoa)

Composers and sound artists are invited to submit works for inclusion in an upcoming sound project at The Physics Room, in August 2003, and a simultaneous and interlinked series of commissioned broadcasts for Radio New Zealand's 'Revolutions per Minute' program, on Sundays, 3pm. Both the exhibition and the broadcast series are intended to feature significant explorations in sound from New Zealand artists and musicians resident locally and overseas, irrespective of aesthetic direction, technical means or cultural context.

The project is focused around including a diverse range of practitioners from a variety of backgrounds, and it is hoped it will provide an eclectic and vigorous forum for New Zealand contemporary sound art practice. Contributions are sought from those whose practice is either music or art based, who have an interest in making work both for the space of the gallery and the space of radio, and is centered around (for example) sound installation, contemporary electro-acoustic composition, field acoustics, post-glitch, sound sculpture or experimental documentary. The main criteria for selection will be the innovative direction and general quality of the work, so proposals from both established practitioners and emergent artists are encouraged.

Selected works will be featured together in the August exhibition, which will run for the duration of a month in a site specific environment designed inside one of the Physics Room's two exhibition spaces. During the exhibition each work will be given its own slot on National Radio's RPM show, to be broadcast together with a short introductory statement on the work and the composer/sound artist. Selected works will also be included in any CDR and/or print catalogue created to document the project, and will also become permanent items in the New Zealand Sound Archives.

Submissions should include biographical information on composers/artists together with artistic statements and other supplied data including examples of work on CD.

Deadline: 5th February, 2003.
Send to:
The Physics Room,
PO Box 22 351,
Christchurch
