Opis projektu:
Cultures and places reveal themselves in powerful ways through sound. Our project
intends to establish a European network of sound residencies to facilitate the
exchange between sound artists. By means of the creative acts of hearing ourselves
and hearing others the project wants to raise awareness of the Sound of Culture.
Historically sound art and related experimental musics have developed differently
within each of the many cultures that constitute Europe. By facilitating the
transnational exchange between sound artists, we want to incite dialogue and thus
help reveal the Culture of Sound. The starting point of this project will be the
residencies - literally time and space away from one’s usual environment and
everyday routines. Its specific aims being to stimulate the transnational mobility of
sound artists, to support local communities, to build systems of long-term
cooperation, and to facilitate the sharing of resources and research amongst the
participating organizations. As concrete actions we plan the following: In the Artists in
Residence Exchange Model each partner selects local artists to participate in a
residency at the site of one of the partners, receiving residents in return. In the
micro-Residency/Workshop model our concern for the next generation of sound artists
is answered by the establishment of a series of 1-week micro-residencies, intended
for a group of students, combining sound-art creation with training in advanced
techniques. Through active involvement of local non-professional communities we aim
to gain experience in audience development. The related research will help art
organizations to improve their functioning and build up a wider network. Through the
shared documenting interactive website and the public presentations, the artists and
experimental art in general will gain visibility.
