DL 30.11.2022 / OPEN CALL – SONIC ARTS at Oksasenkatu 11 in March 2023

OPEN CALL – sonic arts exhibition at Oksasenkatu 11 in March 2023 – DL for proposals 30/11/2022

Welcome to participate in the open call for a sonic art exhibition in Oksasenkatu 11 gallery that takes place in March 2023. The idea of the exhibition is to present the creators and the works of contemporary sonic art from Finland and abroad. The proposal for the open call can be, for example, a sound installation, a live performance, a performative gesture, a graphic presentation, text/(moving)image based work, online piece, or a lecture. The exhibition is organised by Äänen Lumo ry, together with Minerva Juolahti and J. Koho. 

The open call is open for all and the deadline for proposals is on November 30th, 2022. The work should deal with sound but the format is limited only by imagination. The submission can be a pre-existing work. There is no specific theme defined for the open call, but we are especially looking for works where sonic art is thought of in a surprising or unconventional manner and with a relation to the exhibition space and its location. It is important to bear in mind the limited size of the gallery space and the fact that it’s located on the ground floor and the basement of an apartment building. When selecting works, we pay particular attention to how the works fit together with each other and the gallery space. The purpose of the exhibition is to present the widest possible spectrum and diversity of sonic art.

The proposal should include a maximum one page proposal that contains a detailed description of the content and the medium of the piece, and a cv.

Oksasenkatu 11 is an artist-run, non-profit gallery. Participation in the exhibition requires taking part in the supervision of the exhibition. The selected artists are themselves responsible for the technology and the installation, and de-installation of their works. There is no guaranteed fee for taking part in the exhibition, but this might change in case of a successful grant application. The exhibition follows the principles of a safer space. Artists selected for the exhibition will be notified in mid-December, 2022.
