[Microsound-announce] Call for Recordings of Place-Chicago Gallery Show

[Kim Cascone]

Is there a particular geographical place you've developed a  
relationship with through sound? Could you take take some of the  
sound, package it up with some physical evidence and ship it to  
Chicago, Illinois? To this end, Zoe Asta and I are curating a show  
called, "GeoPhonoBox," for which we hope to fill a 2400-square-foot  
gallery with sound generating boxes from places all over the world.

Here's how it will work: There are two box sizes to choose from:  
12"X10"X4" and 16"X12"X8."  Each box must be able to generate its own  
sound (which can be as simple as a CD player/headphones or?) and its  
contents must identify the place of origination.  Your work would be  
included with recordists of all leanings -- phonographers,   
composers, nature recordists, sound artists, ethnographers,  
pedestrians, geographers, agriculturists, naturalists, radio  
journalists and others who develop relations to place through sound.

To confirm your interest, cut and paste the short application form at  
the bottom of this Call for Participation, http://www.zoeasta.com/ 
sound2.htm, into an email and send it to both of us along with a  
couple of mp3 examples of your recordings to:

  Zoe Asta <zoe_asta at yahoo.com> AND Rob Danielson <type at uwm.edu>

by December 17th, 2006.  We will notify you that your application has  
been accepted by January 4, 2007, or earlier, and send you the box  
size of your choice. Boxes are to be returned to Chicago by February  
10, 2007. The gallery opening at the Around the Coyote Gallery is on  
March 2nd.

There are additional considerations and terms on the invitation link.  
Feel free to email us with questions. We look forward to including  
your work in the show!

Sincerely,
Zoe Asta and Rob Danielson
