SoundNetwork @ Home

Liverpool Biennial 16th September - 26th November 2006

A programme of SoundNetwork events during Liverpool Biennial, including an exhibition of sound works and installation, collaborations, commissions and a series of concerts of live sound art, improvised and experimental music at venues all over the city centre.

Open Call for Submissions: 2 commissions, £1000 each

2 artist commissions for new sound work in collaboration with non artist groups in Liverpool. £1000 each.

Deadline for submissions. 6pm Thursday 10th August. The selection will be made and the artists informed by Monday 14th August.

An artist or group of artists must submit a proposal that involves and collaborates with a non-art group based in Liverpool or the North West.

The non-art group might be a school band, scientists, architects, doctors, treasure hunters with metal detectors, fishermen, palaeontologists, dog walkers…….

The nature of collaboration can take any form but should be clearly defined as part of the proposal.

The definition and use of sound is open, but SoundNetwork are particularly interested in proposals that present sound works that do not rely entirely on digital technology and speaker systems. Exploration of performance, presentation, physical transmission of sound and process based work is especially welcome.

Both commissioned works will be shown or performed as part of the SoundNetwork@Home exhibition or concert series over the Liverpool Biennial period.

Artists must be based in the North West region or work actively in this region.

The artists must undertake any project management, with assistance and supervision from SoundNetwork. This will be outlined in detail in an artists contract following successful application.
