Arts Birthday 2009

Open Call

ART’S BIRTHDAY 2009: CALL FOR ONLINE GIFTS AND ON SITE PARTICIPATION
On Saturday, 17 January 2009, we are celebrating 1,000,046 years of art!

This time, Kunstradio is joining forces with the Experimental Studio of
Slovensky Rozhlas and with IMA (Institute of Media Archaeology) for a
two-day-happy-birthday-event, as usual online, on site and on air.

The Fete Permanente, as which Art’s Birthday was conceived by fluxus artist
Robert Filliou in 1963, will take place at the exhibition “Magical
Soundmachines” at the Kulturfabrik Hainburg on the shore of the Danube, close
to Vienna and even closer to Bratislava.
“Magical Soundmachines” presents a range of unique historical sound generators,
recorders and transmitters – and they are here to be played.

For the Art’s Birthday Party 2009 we invite artists, musicians, sound machine
affiliates, composers, performers etc. to contribute their gifts to Art: either
as digitally transmitted files (to be uploaded on
http://kunstradio.at/PROJECTS/AB2009) or to be performed live and on the spot
in Hainburg. Each participant gets a slot of 20 minutes, and we will provide
technical facilities as well as refunds for expenses.

Please email your proposals by 30 November 2008 to kunstradio@kunstradio.at –
just a few sentences on first ideas are sufficient. We encourage using the
sound streams which will be coming in from other Art’s Birthday Parties all
over the world, however all other suggestions are welcome, too!
