Open Call: Elevator Music 4 Aferro Publication No. 27; Deadline: 6/20/2017 @ 11:59pm EST; Gallery Aferro 73 Market Street, Newark, NJ, USA; www.aferro.org

 

Musicians, performers and artists working with sound are invited to submit curatorial proposals for a “sound art mixtape” of sorts to be played on a loop in a refurbished, decommissioned vintage elevator, a permanent instillation in Galley Aferro. Submissions may take the form of original musical songs, spoken word or other forms of poetry, field recordings, experimental music, sound art, oral histories, or none of the above. If you have the proper rights to the recording and it can be played on a media player or iPod, then it can be submitted. Elevator Music 4 will be played on rotation during gallery hours from September 23rd, 2017-mid September 2018. For history or more information on this project, visit aferro.org. Some possible themes to consider are monotony, ascension and descent, nostalgia, speculative fiction, etc.

For more information visit aferro.org or email us at info@aferro.org.
