openwork-1: Listening

page1image1787264

Call for Proposals

Listening as a concept and practice is mobilized across a wide array of scholarly and everyday discourses. Recent theoretical interventions (entangled within and across disciplines like sound art, improvisation studies, Black studies, sound design/architecture, dance studies, jazz studies, organization theory, anthropology, theatre studies, performance studies, Caribbean studies, digital law, disability studies, philosophy, musicology, ethnomusicology, sound studies, experimental music studies and critical theory) have increasingly destabilized approaches to listening that cordon it off as a purely auditory phenomenon, defined by fixed assumptions about what is salient/meaningful/valuable, to whom and why.

Postcolonial and posthumanist discourses similarly call into question the boundaries between objects of

listening and listening-subjects, proposing instead an ongoing, ad-hoc process by which they are

continually redefined. By now well-established approaches to rhizomatic information exchange and

cybernetics allow us to approach listening as an active form of relation-making, eschewing deterministic

approaches to meaning, directionality and causality, where “sender” and “receiver” must conform to

predetermined semantic or musical codes. The labor of human and machine listening alike becomes

palpable—even audible—revealing how our individualities emerge from vast creole, cyborg assemblages

of woven bodies, spaces, histories, futures, technologies and ideas as they improvise constraints and

ethical demands.

The way in which we theorize the when, how and who of listening remains a vitally important, often politically charged, field of inquiry. Potentially liberatory retheorizations of listening necessarily center around practices of openness to alternative value systems, which may then transform listener-subjects and by extension, social systems.

Alternative relational approaches to listening emerge in which readers are

page1image1701200

also authors, audiences already performers and vice versa, creating new, often unsettled forms of

page1image1701408

understanding together across different experiences of space and time.

openwork is looking for contributions (from artists, activists, curators and scholars) that develop critical theories of listening. We are particularly interested in contributions that explore the rich dimensions of listening beyond audio- or anthropocentric frames, delving into listening practices that unsettle and redefine space, time and relation.

We hope to feature work from a wide array of disciplines, and encourage authors/artists working inside and outside universities or other formal institutions, especially those developing work that might not fit in traditional academic journals. To address this we are experimenting with a new form of peer review that is dialogic and conversational.

We are an online-only journal and as such encourage using digital resources (such as videos, audio recordings, images, animations and so forth). We are seeking proposals for the following:

  • Full-length scholarly essays (about 5000 – 7000 words)

  • Creative texts (closer to 500 – 2500 words)

Cultural, political, theological (etc.) commentaries, manifestos and polemics Artistic reflections
Lyric essays
Multimedia formats that use text

Surprise us! • Artworks

Music: stand alone pieces, albums, DJ sets, music videos etc. Poetry
Short films, photo collections, essays or collages

• We also highly encourage proposals for video, audio or image materials relating to visual and sound art idioms that do not fall into the above categories.

Openwork hopes to include contrasting, even incommensurate approaches to theorization. This may take any number of forms: research-centered projects where theoretical concerns are intertwined with fieldwork, close reading, archival practices, practice-led research, or artistic research; personal reflections on ways of relating to categories that define/confine/enable; artworks that explicitly quote or refer to the work of other theorists or theorizing artists; poetic, hieroglyphic or diagrammatic approaches to language that disfigure/refigure existing traditions of theorizing; and artworks that themselves develop a theoretical practice.

Submission guidelines for proposals:
The deadline for proposals is April 22nd 2021.

If selected, full-length submissions will be due no later than August 1st 2021.
Written proposals should be no longer than 250-500 words, and address how article or artwork

relates to the issue theme.

If your proposal is best conveyed using audio, video or image materials (for example references to past work or sketches of the proposed work) please include up to three links to these using Dropbox, Soundcloud, Google Drive, your personal website etc. in the body of your proposal.

Contributors will be given the option to engage in open dialogue with

peer-reviewers, and to co-curate (in collaboration with the openwork editorial committee) selections of

these exchanges into the published issue. Through this process we aim to develop a unique scholarly

discourse that is open to transformation—colliding both scholarly processes and the critical conclusions

of in-depth study.

Please specify as necessary which part or aspects of the linked materials the selection committee should focus on using time stamps and/or explanatory notes. Reviewers will review up to 12 minutes.

Short bibliographies are encouraged.

Proposals from both individual authors/artists or groups will be accepted. We will only consider one proposal per individual or group.

We welcome short bios as well (250 words max) but they are not required.

Please submit your proposal to the openwork editorial team with “openwork-1 proposal” as your subject line - openworkjournal@gmail.com

BLAUES RAUSCHEN Podcast Episode 06: Künstler*innen im Lockdown

 




Essen, 23.03.2021 (English version below)
Liebe Kulturinteressierte, liebe Freund*innen des Festivals Blaues Rauschen,

was machen Künstler*innen, wenn Sie Ihre Kunst nicht dem Publikum zeigen können? Wir haben ein paar Beispiele zusammengetragen, die zeigen, dass der Wille zur Kreativität sich auch während einer existenziellen Krise nicht kleinkriegen lässt.

Kyra Preuss hat dazu Statements verschiedener Künstler*innen eingefangen. Die Beiträge reichen von kurzen Beschreibungen der Aktivitäten bis zu klingenden Belegen des Erreichten. Drei davon stellen wir hier vor.

Die Mitwirkenden in diesem Podcast sind Dirk Dresselhaus aka Schneider TMPeter Simon und Freya Hattenberger.
 

Seit Januar fragt „BLAUES RAUSCHEN pre-stage“, der "Podcast vor dem Festival", in 14-tägigem Rhythmus nach den Auswirkungen der Einschränkungen durch die Coronakrise auf Künstler*innen, Kulturverwaltung, Agenturen, Veranstalter*innen oder Bühnentechniker*innen. 

Der Podcast ist auf den gängigsten Podcast-Plattformen wie Spotify oder Apple Podcast und vielen weiteren hörbar; ausserdem stellen wir die Episoden auch auf Soundcloud und YouTube zur Verfügung.

Und nun: gute Unterhaltung und Inspiration bei "pre-stage",

Karl-Heinz Blomann & Eckart Waage

Dear culture lovers, dear friends of the Blaues Rauschen festival,

what do artists do when they can't show their art to the audience? We have compiled a few examples that show that the will to be creative cannot be reduced even during an existential crisis.

Kyra Preuss has captured statements from various artists. The contributions range from brief descriptions of the activities to sound evidence of what has been achieved. We present three of them here.

The contributors to this podcast are Dirk Dresselhaus aka Schneider TM, Peter Simon and Freya Hattenberger.

Since January, "BLAUES RAUSCHEN pre-stage", the "podcast before the festival", has been asking every 14 days about the effects of the restrictions caused by the corona crisis on artists, cultural administrations, agencies, organizers and stage technicians.

The podcast can be heard on the most popular podcast platforms such as Spotify or Apple Podcast and many more; We also make the episodes available on Soundcloud and YouTube.

Liebe Kulturinteressierte, liebe Freund*innen des Festivals Blaues Rauschen,

in der Episode 5 unseres Podcasts werfen wir einen Blick auf den Bereich Veranstaltungstechnik. Wir treffen uns dazu mit Sven Nowoczyn, Kopf der event mediagroup. Seit dem 13. März 2020 hat sich das berufliche Leben des Veranstaltungstechnikers und seiner Mitarbeiter*innen gravierend geändert. Doch die Schockstarre des Bochumers währte nur kurz. Mit Hilfe seines Teams, seines Vermieters und nicht zuletzt durch die Möglichkeiten der öffentlichen Hand hat Nowoczyn die Krise als Chance begriffen und versucht, das Beste aus der Situation zu machen.

Bevor er also beim nächsten Festival erneut auf mehreren Bühnen im Ruhrgebiet Lautsprecher und Lichttechnik aufbauen kann, berichtet er uns über Krisenmanagement, Kredite und Kollegialität.

Seit Januar fragt „BLAUES RAUSCHEN pre-stage“, der "Podcast vor dem Festival", in 14-tägigem Rhythmus nach den Auswirkungen der Einschränkungen durch die Coronakrise auf Künstler*innen, Kulturverwaltung, Agenturen, Veranstalter*innen oder Bühnentechniker*innen. 

Der Podcast ist auf den gängigsten Podcast-Plattformen wie Spotify oder Apple Podcast und vielen weiteren hörbar; ausserdem stellen wir die Episoden auch auf Soundcloud und YouTube zur Verfügung.

Und nun: gute Unterhaltung und Inspiration bei "pre-stage",

Dear culture lovers, dear friends of the Blaues Rauschen festival,

In episode 5 of our podcast we take a look at the event technology area. We meet Sven Nowoczyn, head of event mediagroup. The professional life of the event technician and his employees has changed significantly since March 13, 2020. But the shock of the Bochumers lasted only a short time. With the help of his team, his landlord and, not least, the opportunities offered by the public sector, Nowoczyn saw the crisis as an opportunity and tried to make the best of the situation.

So before he can set up loudspeakers and lighting on several stages in the Ruhr area again at the next festival, he tells us about crisis management, loans and collegiality.

Since January, "BLAUES RAUSCHEN pre-stage", the "podcast before the festival", has been asking every 14 days about the effects of the restrictions caused by the corona crisis on artists, cultural administrations, agencies, organizers and stage technicians.

The podcast can be heard on the most popular podcast platforms such as Spotify or Apple Podcast and many more; We also make the episodes available on Soundcloud and YouTube.

And now: good entertainment and inspiration with "pre-stage",
