CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

holophon.ca is a concert series and audio collective based in Regina, SK that engages with sound as an artistic medium, with a focus on uniting various artistic, geographical and cultural communities through sound-work. In partnership with Tracy Hamon, a poet and writer from Regina, SK we are planning a collaborative concert that reacts against perceptions of post-post modernism by reaching back to modernist roots for inspiration.

Whether it’s Symbolist, Impressionist, or Gertrude Stein’s hermetic word portraits, consider the exchange as an opportunity to emphasize your work. We are seeking submissions that engage modernism as an integral trend of thought that affirms our power to create. The open call accepts:

pre-recorded material
performance
sound/slam/text based poetry
or any combinations thereof
no more than 15 minutes of material/work or 15 pages of text
This event will occur in Regina, SK on Nov. 7, 2009 as the launching of holophon.ca’s season two of programming. Artists are not required to be in attendance at this event: honorariums will be paid, but we cannot support artist travel fees at this time. Submissions must be received by Sept. 25, 2009.

A short description of how the work will be performed – including diagrams or explanations of speaker arrays if applicable
