Fado CALL FOR PROPOSALS: FIVE HOLES: LISTEN! (Toronto)
Deadline: January 16, 2004

CALL FOR PROPOSALS: FIVE HOLES: LISTEN!

FIVE HOLES is an ongoing series examining the 
significance of the body and the senses. Fado 
invites artists to submit proposals for LISTEN!, 
the fourth installment in the series. We seek 
site-specific performance art projects that focus 
on the sense of hearing. Approximately seven 
proposals will be selected for an event to be 
held in the summer of 2004 in Toronto.

FIVE HOLES: LISTEN! will feature site-specific 
performance art projects that focus on the act of 
listening as a way to "place" oneself. This 
implies a privileging of the audience's 
experience -- how sound reveals the relationship 
between one's body and its surroundings -- over 
the performer's expressive use of sound.

In our culture, sound is most appreciated for its 
expressivity. Disciplines rooted in sound  -- 
music and spoken language -- place an enormous 
focus on this particular quality, developing and 
presenting structures that explore or exploit 
sound's emotive and expressive nature. But sound 
as a sense also allows us to place ourselves in 
an environment. Many animals use sonar, for 
example, as a positioning mechanism. Inner ear 
problems can lead not only to hearing loss, but 
also to vertigo.

Bearing in mind that the FIVE HOLES series 
focuses on the nature and importance of our 
bodies (performer and audience) in performance 
art, the title of this installment recognizes 
"listening" as a loaded physical act. The term is 
often used as a powerful metaphor for an active 
process of seeking spiritual attunement, or for 
taking stock of one's place in the world. Pauline 
Oliveros writes, "Listening is noticing and 
directing attention and interpreting what is 
heard ... noticing and directing the interaction 
and relationships of sounds and modes of 
attention. We hear in order to listen. We listen 
in order to interpret ourselves and our world and 
to experience meaning." Curator Paul Couillard is 
particularly interested in projects that take an 
adventurous, innovative approach to the act of 
listening.

Please include 1-page proposal, c.v., and 
documentation of previous work [slides, NTSC 
video, CD-ROMs, URLs, etc.]. Press material 
optional. Only submissions with self-addressed 
stamped envelope or sufficient funds to cover 
shipping and packaging will be returned.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE 
Artist-in-Residence Programme (Quebec)
Deadline: February 27, 2004; Source: LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE

For Fall 2004 and Winter-Spring 2005

LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE is an artist-run centre 
devoted to experimentation with installations and 
in situ practices in visual arts. Its 
artist-in-residence programme offers not only a 
working and living space for artists, but also a 
space in which to experiment with the creative 
process. In our view a residency is an occasion 
for an artist to question the nature of the 
artistic process itself with regard to its 
development and its reception. It is a laboratory 
where artists are invited to work within the 
space of the gallery itself or beyond its walls.

LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE is particularly interested in 
work that, in the manner of works in progress, 
use time as a medium. Submitted projects must 
integrate installation and in situ practices. 
During the residency, the selected artist will be 
invited to create a unique and ephemeral piece, 
in the context of a true in vivo laboratory. The 
public will thus be invited to follow the 
creative process of each residency project.

The centre offers

* an in situ residency of six weeks
* lodging at LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE
* $ 1750 (CAN) artist fees
* technical assistance
* half of the transportation cost
* acces to a woodworking shop and a computer lab
* an essay in LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE's publication.

The proposal must include

* a written description of the project proposed
* a resume (C.V.)
* an artist's statement
* a portfolio of the artist's work (slides, CD-ROMs, videos, etc.)
* a SASE to return documents, if desired.

Send your proposal to LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE before 
February 27th, 2004 with the mention
"Artist-in-Residence Programme" to the following address :
185, rue Christophe-Colomb Est, Québec (Québec) G1K 3S6 CANADA
