Digital Audio Artworks - proposal call
July 5, 2006
The Surrey (British Columbia) Art Gallery/ Surrey Arts Centre is looking for proposals for digital audio artworks - and there’s money in it.
 |
Artists are offered the option of using the Gallery’s TechLab and its resources as a studio for production, if they wish to work on site as an artist in residence. Otherwise, artists will develop their work in their own studio. Artist’s sound exhibition proposals may be an installation that surrounds the visitor, or may be in intervention within the Gallery’s facility where people will be invited to listen, or may involve negotiating modifications/improvements to the architecture of the exhibit halls to make them audio art-responsive. |  |
Deadline for submissions in July 10th - so get in touch right away if you have an idea. Liane Davison is the curator, email her artgallery@city.surrey.bc.ca . Best to read these two documents from them first:
1. Call for Proposals (pdf) 2. Tech Lab proposals (pdf).
The techlab web site is at www.surreytechlab.ca
Podcast with Anthony Bourdain
July 3, 2006
A couple of weeks ago I got to spend the day with author/chef Anthony Bourdain.
He’s best known for his book Kitchen Confidential and his TV show, No Reservations.
Anthony was in Vancouver to promote his new book, The Nasty Bits (it’s great by the way) and I got to tag along as he did his media interviews and book signings.
He wore a wireless mic so I could informally interview him while we ran the blitz that is a media interview day for an author on the book tour.
This is going to be a 3 part series, with another podcast in a week, and the 3rd a week after that.
It way too much fun to do, and I think the results are pretty great.
