WRITING OPPORTUNITY FOR ARTISTS, CRITICS, ACADEMICS, ETC:

We are currently looking for a number of written pieces to contextualise a group show that Yann Novak, France Jobin and I are curating at Oboro in Montréal in March 2012. (Weblink: http://www.oboro.net/archive/1112.html)

The exhibition is named "Sublimation" and is an immersive exhibition featuring audio-visual works from international artists, curated to define the concept of the "Sublime Environment": the saturation of both the sonic and visual landscape, represented by works of immersive sound and visual art.

The month-long exhibition features numerous interdisciplinary artists including AV works by: Clinker, Robert Crouch, Mem1, mimosa|moize, T UM', Sublamp.

The installed AV exhibition will be complimented by an extended evening of sublime, immersive sonic environments, and absorbing, contemplative sound sculpture in the form of an audio screening featuring artists: Celer, Heribert Friedl, Katherine Bennett, Robin Parmar, Scant Intone, Stéphane Claude, Tomas Phillips | Craig Hilton and Tom White; and on the opening night, live performances by: mimosa|moize and David Kristian.

If you are interested in writing a piece (of no more than 1200 words) to contextualise the exhibition, please contact us with your "expression of interest". An information sheet will be sent to you ASAP.

Once you have the information sheet, please send us the following information before Noon, FRIDAY 30 DECEMBER 2011: an abstract of your idea (300 words max); your full name; your contact details; a relevant biography (no more than 2 pages); links to written work online or in print, especially if related to sound or AV (three pieces maximum please). N.B. Individuals will be selected from these submissions. Successful candidates will hear from us by EMAIL on TUESDAY 02 JANUARY 2012.

Successful candidates will have their essays and texts printed as leaflets. These will be made available along side the catalogue during the exhibition. Writers will receive printed copies of their work.
