Subject: Nodar Artist Residency Program: Open Call for 2010
Binauralmedia and Nodar Artist Residency Center announce:
PAIVASCAPES #1
STRUCTURE, PROCESS AND PERCEPTION OF A RIVER
International Open Call for Art Projects
Selection of 12 art projects to be developed during several 2-week residency
modules to take place between February and October 2010.
Closing date for the open call: 30 September 2009
Art disciplines: Phonography; sound installation; vocal performance; sound
poetry; acoustic, electroacoustic or electronic improvisation / composition.
The Nodar Artist Residency Program for 2010 will have a single aggregating
subject: the Paiva River. Throughout the year, from winter to autumn,
several multidisciplinary art projects (having sound as a central element)
will be developed in a context-specific perspective, interacting with the
river’s different geographical areas, from its spring to its mouth. A
tribute to a small river that is a symbol of a region that (still) can live
in a well-balanced interaction with nature. Following the relationship that
exists between the village of Nodar and the Paiva River, which already
motivated the development of several art works, it was now decided to spread
this interaction to the whole course of the river, giving a sense of
coherence and plurality to the reflection, tracing continuity and rupture
lines, patterns, densities and transitional zones, either related with
geographical and human elements.
In the beginning of 2011 the several art works will be presented to local
audiences, in the context of an event that will include conferences,
concerts, video screenings and a retrospective exhibition of the whole
project. This exhibition will later follow an itinerancy through several
towns along the course of the Paiva River and will have an underlying
program of educational activities intended for children and youths.
