SUMMARY:: Bidston Observatory Artistic Research Centre: Annual General Exch
 ange (AGE)
DESCRIPTION:Venue: Bidston Observatory Artistic Research Centre\nDates: 3
 0/10/2021 - 06/11/2021\nTimes: Various\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs the air snaps cool
 er and the nights draw in\, echoes of future crackling fires are calling u
 s towards this year's Annual General Exchange (AGE). A shared week in the 
 calendar\, held open every year at BOARC\, the AGE is a precious moment fo
 r collective resourcing.\n\nThis AGE\, we're paying attention to sonic com
 monalities at scales. Close listening to the tiniest vibrations of our imm
 ediate surroundings can reveal the possibility for multi-species\, more-th
 an-human communication. Such listening also reveals the solidifications of
  ongoing colonial and extractivist stories within sound. 
Honouring pres
 ence by listening closely\, this year we’ll be working with the medium o
 f field recordings in many different forms. There’ll be workshops that a
 llow us time for environmental response\, and reflections on the technolog
 ically mediated capture of sounds. Throughout the week\, there will be opp
 ortunities to experiment\, which situate sound in the body\, and respond t
 o the spirit of place: expect sound bounced off architecture\, cut with la
 yers of folklore and shaped by momentary mood.\n\nWe’ll be exploring the
  bodily affects of listening – the patient effort of receptive stillness
 \, for example\, or the percussion of a body receiving intense information
 . Our capacity for attention is linked to our body’s permeability\, and 
 never-ending noise pollution becomes toxic body-burden. How\, then\, can w
 e cut through the saturation\, and hone our ears to be able to enter diffe
 rent frames of reference\, perspectives and alternative ways of thinking a
 nd being?\n\nFor AGE 2021: sound\, dug through\; we’ll be attending to t
 ime compressed by ancestral histories\, interrupted by ontological categor
 y and resonated by embodiment.\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\nAGE 21 runs from Sa
 turday 30th October\, to Saturday 6th November.\n\nThe programme is - as a
 lways - punctuated with suggestions\, and open for contributions. Bidsto
 n Observatory Artistic Research Centre's AGM is on Friday 5th November.\n\
 nInvited artists will be sharing their work on Saturday 6th November. Day
