Deadline: August 23, 2010
Submissions are now CLOSED for Unsound Festival New York.
BASIC INFORMATION
((audience)) has been invited to participate in Unsound Festival New York, a "festival of advanced music and sound art." Founded in 2003, Unsound is an annual event held in Krakow, Poland; in Spring 2011, the festival organizers will present the second edition of Unsound Festival New York at venues throughout the city. This event will be presented with the Polish Cultural Institute New York and Goethe-Institute New York, with an array of partners including The Trust for Mutual Understanding.
Conceived in 2006, ((audience)) is an unprecedented project that explores the cinema as a 21st century concert hall. It is dedicated to the advancement of aural arts by providing wide distribution and new contexts for works by emerging and established sound artists and composers. The centerpiece of ((audience)) is a biennial program of 5.1 surround sound works by international artists intended for presentation in movie theaters as "cinema in the dark." This program travels to partnering organizations from Delhi, India to New York City -- accompanied by curatorial lectures, performances, exhibitions and screenings on a city-by-city basis.
CALL FOR WORKS
