What is the School of Sound?
The School of Sound is a biennial symposium created to encourage a cross-disciplinary approach to using sound in the arts and media. We explore what sound does, and how audiences listen. It is a place where you can raise your awareness of audio production, how it conveys information and emotion, how you work with it.

For four days you'll be immersed in a world of imagination, invention and innovation. Listening to presentations from a diversity of incredible talents, you will be able to disconnect from your day-to-day work, leave your comfort zone, and reflect on sound as something that is profoundly complex, entertaining and important.

Why attend the School of Sound?
The School of Sound is not an academic conference and it is not about how to get a job. It is a rare opportunity to hear and meet twenty creatives from the highest levels of the arts and media speaking in detail about how they think and work.

And the School of Sound is not about just one area of sound production. The programme covers film, theatre, dance, opera, games, installation, music and radio - expanding your thinking and increasing your ability to practice across diverse genres and forms of production.

At the School of Sound you will mix with hundreds of like-minded people - professional practitioners, educators, artists and students - with whom you can network, exchange ideas and create collaborations.

The School of Sound is delighted to announce the first details of the 2017 programme.
Speakers include

• MYCHAEL DANNA, composer known for his blending of non-Western music with orchestral and electronic music, winner of the 2012 Oscar for his score to Ang Lee’s Life of Pi
• WERNER CEE, sound art composer, musician and creator of radio art

Griffin Gallery, London: Events

The Art Insider | A - Z of Setting Up and Successfully Launching an Exhibition
25 November 2014 6:30pm – 8:30pm

TICKETS: £10.00 – To purchase tickets, please click here.

The Art Insider and Griffin Gallery are delighted to offer a series of professional development seminars for artists
This seminar has been developed by Trudie Stephenson of The Art Insider  to provide the skills necessary to navigate more effectively in the commercial art world.
Speaker: Trudie Stephenson – Director The Art Insider

AREAS COVERED:

MARKETING AND PR STRATEGIES
Many artists are daunted by the idea of public relations. PR is generally recognised as a vital part of the success of any endeavour or business venture and is a vital vehicle in attracting a gallery, buyers and positive reviews to you and your work. This seminar will show you how to market yourself and your work and how to implement and use PR strategies to your advantage.

- How to produce an artist statement, biography and CV
- How to write a press release
- How to find press contacts and how to approach the press
- How to document your work in different formats and the best way to send out to interested parties.
- Time management and press deadlines

SETTING UP AND LAUNCHING AN EXHIBITION

This part of the workshop will explain the practicalities of organising an exhibition form A – Z. You will be guided through the processes involved, from the initial concept and research, through to agreements, layout and the display of artwork. You will also be advised on insurance, public liability and health and safety requirements. We will also cover how to implement effective sales strategies for your opening night and the duration of your exhibition.

Please email [email protected] for more information.


Space for Creation
10 December 2014 6:30pm – 8:30pm

Griffin Gallery will be hosting ‘Space for Creation’, a panel discussion about the impact of space on creation and artistic practice. We are particularly interested in having a conversation about the effect that studio space and residencies have on the artistic process, recognizing that a rural residency in another culture is a very different dynamic to an urban residency or a local opportunity.

This is of particular interest to us since Griffin Gallery offers short term residencies to artists, international and UK based.

Gordon Cheung, one of this year’s Griffin Art Prize judges, Evy Jokhova, a former resident artist at Florence Trust and current GAP shortlisted artist, Alzbeta Jaresova, Griffin Art Prize winner 2012, as well as Luke George and Elizabeth Rose, GAP 2013 winners, are all members of the panel.

PARSE Journal seeks contributions for the 1st PARSE Biennial research conference

Call for panels, papers, performances, screenings, and workshops
November 5–6, 2015
Deadline: March 1, 2015

The first Biennial PARSE conference at the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts, University of Gothenburg, Sweden takes as its point of departure the question of time.

Confirmed keynote speakers are:
Jalal Toufic
Coco Fusco
Bruno Latour
Susan Howe

Time arguably has always been at the center of the research initiatives of the natural sciences, of philosophy and of the many different practices of history and social criticism. However, time also occupies a central place for the curiosity and attention of artist researchers across all the arts. The intensification of the question of time has, in recent years, prompted some to speak of a "temporal turn" across the disciplines. This conference seeks to bring together a range of researchers, drawn mainly from the artistic fields but also inviting researchers from across all disciplines to consider questions with respect to the practices, processes and perturbations of time.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
constructions of contemporaneity; time and the aesthetic; time and affect; gendered time; queer times; chronophobia; chronopolitics; chronotopes; durational practices; public time; network time; the temporal regime of the gift; globalization, instantaneity and temporal collapse; the nostalgia of capital; the temporal imaginaries of sustainability and ecological practices; the time of the political; labour time and forms of life; the time of the poem; after narrative time; empire time; revolutionary time
dead-time, end-time, out-of-time, behind-the-times and again next time…

Contributions are invited in the form of papers, presentations, artistic interventions, readings, panels, performances, public actions, screenings and workshops.

We are especially interested in contributions that critically reflect upon, and/or in some way work to modify the familiar conventions of the academic paper, the panel discussion and the artist's talk.
 
 
Rolling submission of proposals
The deadline for proposals is March 1, however, we recommend early submission.
Proposals should be sent to [email protected].
 
Please include:
– an abstract/summary description of the proposed contribution (300 words)
– a recent CV of participant(s)
– an indication of technical or other requirements for the contribution/presentation.
 
Note: For performances, screenings or workshop events it is especially important to have a clear sense of any technical or spatial requirements.
 
Suggested duration for contributions
– Artists' presentations, papers and readings: 20 minutes. (We are aware that some artists' presentations could require more time. Please indicate if this is the case).
– Panels: 60 to 90 minutes (depending on number of contributors and nature of panel presentations.)
– For artistic interventions, performances, public actions and screenings, please indicate the duration proposed suggestion.
 

Peer review process
Proposals will be peer-reviewed by a panel that includes The PARSE advisory & Journal editorial boards, and the PARSE working group. Each proposal will be reviewed by three members drawn from the panel with reference to relevance to the overarching thematics of time, potential in developing a dialogue across the disciplines, and originality of contribution.
 
 
Conference documentation
All contributions will be recorded for archive purposes.
 
Conference publication
A selection of contributions will be further developed for publication through the PARSE Journal in consultation with, and by permission of, the authors.
