Spectres, Low Lives 4 international call to artists below and attached.
Best, Jorge Rojas *LOW LIVES 4 * *Networked Performance Festival* * * *Event Dates:* 27, 28 April 2012 *Open call for proposals* Deadline: 25 March 2012 *www.lowlives.net * [email protected] *INTERNATIONAL CALL FOR PROPOSALS* Now entering its fourth year, Low Lives is an international festival of live performance-based works transmitted via the internet and projected in real time at multiple venues throughout the U.S. and around the world. Low Lives examines works that critically investigate, challenge, and extend the potential of performance practice presented live through online broadcasting networks. These networks provide a new alternative and efficient medium for presenting, viewing, and archiving performances. Artists working in any media are invited to submit proposals for live performance-based works. *Selection Process:* Each Presenting Partner (see list below) will follow their curatorial process to select one performance to take place at their venue. In addition, 40 artists will be selected from artist proposals responding to this Call for Artists, and will be invited to present their work across the Low Lives network. These performances will be transmitted through the internet from a location of the artists’ choice. The Selections Committee will be comprised of Directors and Curators from Presenting Partner institutions and Low Lives’ production team. Artists selected to participate in this exhibition will be instructed on how to transmit their performance through a live online broadcasting network. Performances will be projected in real time across the Low Lives 4 network of Presenting Partners and venues. The exhibit will also be available for online viewing, both in real time as it unfolds across political boundaries and time zones, and on the Low Lives website after the event. A full-color catalog and companion DVD with information and an image for each participating artist will be produced for Low Lives 4 after the exhibition takes place. Artists interested in participating in Low Lives 4 are encouraged to visit www.lowlives.net to view previous Low Lives exhibition catalogs and performance videos. * * *Presenting Partners:** *United States* Aljira, A Center for Contemporary Art (Newark, New Jersey) www.aljira.org Center for Performance Research (CPR) (Brooklyn, New York) www.cprnyc.org Chez Bushwick (Brooklyn, New York) www.chezbushwick.net Co-Lab (Austin, Texas) www.colabspace.org Diaspora Vibe Gallery (Miami, Florida) www.diasporavibe.net Fusebox Festival (Austin, Texas) www.fuseboxfestival.com Legion Arts (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) www.legionarts.org Little Berlin (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) www.littleberlin.org Living Arts (Tulsa, Oklahoma) www.livingarts.org Mascher Space Co-op (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) www.mascherdance.com Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (PICA) (Portland, Oregon) www.pica.org Real Art Ways (Harford, Connecticut) www.realartways.org SOMArts (San Francisco, California) www.somarts.org Space One Eleven (Birmingham, Alabama) www.spaceoneeleven.org Spread Art (Brooklyn, New York) www.spreadart.org Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA) (Salt Lake City, Utah) www.umfa.utah.edu *Mexico* La Periferia (Merida, Mexico) http://www.galerialaperiferia.com/ *Trinidad & Tobago* Alice Yard (Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago) www.aliceyard.blogspot.com *Japan* the temporary space (Japan) www.thetemporaryspace.com *France* Dimanche Rouge (Paris, France) www.dimancherouge.wordpress.com *Colombia* Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Bogotá (MAC) (Colombia) www.mac.org.co *Australia * At The Vanishing Point (Sydney, Australia) www.atthevanishingpoint.com.au *Canada* Eventual Ashes (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) www.eventualashes.com ***This list includes Presenting Partners who are confirmed as of 2/1/12.
