GROUND ZERO: TRANSITORY AUDIO ARCHIVE
-------------------------------------


>OPEN CALL FOR AUDIO WORKS

For the context of the exhibition "Ground Zero" scheduled to open on August 
16th at 129 Lafayette street, Nomads and Residents will provide a listening 
station for audio pieces. Nomads and Residents is making an open, 
international call via email to invite you to send us CDs containing one 
track of an audio work for inclusion in the exhibition. We only ask for a 
single track, not necessarily entire works, and the duration of the track 
should be determined by the CD itself, from 1 second to maximum 74 Minutes.
We also ask that you send only your own work.

This audio platform does not have an overall subject or theme. The 
temporary archive will be created exclusively through the open call and 
will not be edited or curated.  It will be made available for the 
exhibition's audience to browse through and listen to at their own 
leisure.  The archive will be displayed within Heimo Lattner's and Ruthard 
Miksch's "Collective Dwelling Unit".

The format of "Transitory Audio Archive" is an extension of Nomads and 
Residents' interest in creating temporary situations and networks for the 
exchange of resources, ideas and information. It is a continuation of a 
previous transitory archive made up of international art publications 
assembled as part of the "Lecture Lounge Vol. I" day of events held at the 
Clocktower Gallery NY in the Winter of 2001.  More information on this 
project is available @ http://www.lecture-lounge.net/



>INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING SUBMISSIONS

The work has to be one track and burned onto an individual CD. We will take 
the utmost precaution to protect the CD from loss or damage, however we can 
not assume any responsibility for the possible theft or damage of the CD in

copies (in case of damage or loss).  Include the following information
