Call: 7a*11d International Performance Art Festival

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: 7a*11d International Performance Art Festival
Date: Submissions due January 15, 2008; Source: 7a*11d Collective

This is the call for submissions for 7a*11d's 7th International Festival of Performance Art in 11 years, taking place in Toronto from October 22 ñ November 2, 2008. Organized by an unincorporated non-profit group of artists, 7a*11d presents a series of performance art events and artist projects in a festival setting. Our purpose is to offer a professional showcase for new and progressive performance
art works. Artist organizers will select emerging and established artists of the highest quality from around the world that showcase the breadth and depth of performance art as a genre. We pay artist fees and try to subsidize travel, but please note that our budget is limited and not adequate to support troupes or companies.

PLUS:
D2D Direct to Documentation: A video program of performance documentation. Can't come to the Festival? We still want to see your work! Send us an edited tape [five minutes or less on NTSCVHS, Hi-8,
mini-DV, CD or DVD] of your performance documentation or performance for camera. (No PAL or SECAM tapes, please!) Selected tapes will be curated into a screening program. Artist fees will be paid
for those selected for screening.

Radio Roam by Eleanor King & Stephen Kelly
Radio Art Salon curated by Darren Copeland

Recline in an alternate sounding universe in 50's style hair salon
chairs transformed into radio art listening lounges. Running for the
entire month of May, the Radio Art Salon includes a program of radio
art works curated by Darren Copeland that includes contributions from
Resonance FM in the UK, from Kunstradio in Austria (sponsored by
the Austria Cultural Forum) and content drawn from the Deep Wireless
international call for submissions on the theme of Trans-X.

Radio Roam is a radio transmission installation work. It uses many
radios installed in the gallery space, each tuned to a different
frequency on the FM dial. A variable transmitter sends out an audio
signal and automatically changes the broadcasting frequency based on
motion activity within the space. The audio signal "jumps" from
one radio to another, creating a surround sound experience for the
gallery visitor. It is intended that the transmitted audio blend with
the bleed from other high power FM stations, to create an ever changing
collage of radio sounds, in real time.

Guidewire Performances

So, I suppose this would be a little self promotion. I'll be putting on two performances in the next few weeks. There will be a show coming up on March the 31st at Neutral Ground art gallery in the Scarth St. Mall here in Regina. It'll be a 6 speaker digital audio performance involving various audio manipulation tricks and clicks.
The show starts at 8pm sharp.
$5 to be witness.

April the 5th.

Pay what you can.
Me and some electronics.
A fun time of glitchiness.

Neon Tetra

Neon Tetra is a talented producer from Regina Saskatchewan. His form of electronic music floats around that of Ontario's Caribou, Fourtet and Boards of Canada. I think his album "Home" came out some time last year and I think it probably hasn't been heard enough.

Hinterland?

A funny, wonderful little vid by my brother Eric Hill. Worthy of note for any Canadian that watched TV at least once in the 80's and 90's.
