[1] project overview
In May 2003, Stasisfield will release its second compilation CD-R in the sonic planar analysis series. the audible still-life : sonic planar analysis : 02 will contain sound pieces based around a common theme featuring contributions by, among others,
jeremy boyle / john hudak / irving + orser / neil jendon
john kannenberg / koura / mou, lips! / jon mueller
plank / hal rammel / trace reddell / sawako / malte steiner
Simultaneously, a complementary digital art exhibition based on the same theme will be launched at the Stasis_Space gallery [http://www.stasisfield.com/space].
Both the compilation CD-R and the online exhibition will explore an interdisciplinary approach to artworks derived from a still-life set-up.

[2] call for works : Stasis_Space exhibition
PLEASE NOTE: This call for works relates ONLY to the online exhibition portion of the audible still-life project.
Pieces for the audible still-life Stasis_Space exhibition will consist of audio portraits of still-life set-ups [no longer than 3 minutes in duration], as well as either a photograph or video clip of the corresponding still-life. Artists may also submit a drawing or painting of their still-life [digital or conventional media are acceptable].
In creating the still-lives, artists should approach their construction in the same manner in which a visual artist would set up a still-life for a drawing or painting. Still-lives should consist of either a single object or a grouping of objects specifically placed together by the artist.
Objects within the still-life should be chosen for both their visual and audible aesthetic value, and should be arranged in a manner that lends itself to visual and sonic exploration. This should NOT be approached as a sculpture, but rather as a grouping of objects from which an artwork will be made. The still-life is a catalyst for creating a finished artwork, NOT a finished artwork itself.
While creating your still-life, keep in mind the following questions:
1. What is a still-life?
2. Can a still-life move? Can it talk?
3. Why should an artist create art from a still-life in the 21st Century?
4. Does a still-life have to contain conventional "objects," or could the definition of "object" be approached from a different perspective?
The audio portion of each submission can EITHER be an untreated field recording of a still-life set-up, OR an audio composition created using sampled field recordings of the still-life set-up.
These recordings should be NO LONGER than three minutes.
>>
