The Boreal Electroacoustic Music Society and Teatrihoov present…

The Sound, Media, Movement and Visual Artist Residency!

May 22 – June 5, 2023 – Viljandi, Estonia.

We are currently accepting proposals for an artist residency to take place at the Koidu Seltsimaja culture house in Viljandi, Estonia.

Send your inquiries, and proposals for projects and happenings to:

Shawn Pinchbeck

shawn@beams.ca

Include your name and contact details, technical requirements (read below about what is available), a short bio and links to your work. You should apply early to get letters of acceptance for your funding applications to attend. Space is limited and is on a first come basis. Those of you from Canada may be able to find travel funds from your city arts or provincial arts council, Canada Council for the Arts, your school or institution, or other sources.

This residency is open to artists of any experience level who have an interest in sound, media art, movement, visual arts or other artistic practices. For 2 weeks artists are free to create explore, build, collaborate and compose whatever artistic works they wish. The form of the residency is very open. Participants may wish to share knowledge and organise workshops for each other, there is the opportunity to create an exhibit or event to present their works to the public, or other formats of public engagement are possible.

This will be the 4th year this residency will have taken place. Year One featured the Media Arts students of the Alberta University of the Arts from Calgary, Canada, Year Two featured International independent artists and the Detune Festival hosted by the Supersonicum Gallery. Year Three featured artists from Edmonton and the Peace Region of Alberta. This year, it is my hope to get a good cross section of artists from different places, to create a great environment for sharing knowledge, experiences and creative practices.

The location of the residency, Koidu Seltsimaja, is a historical theatre and culture centre, which was abandoned for 20 years and is now being renovated and revitalised by Viljandi artists Evelin Lagle and Marek Nõmm. We will have access to a large theatre with theatrical stage, the small blackbox theatre, large gallery, jazz club, garden spaces and several small and large spaces ideal for installations, performances and happenings. "Koit", as it is called in a popular historical Estonian song, has become a gathering place for artists in Viljandi. In addition to theatre spaces, it features artist studios and a pub, making it truly a multi-use creative space.

Many spaces in the Koidu Seltsimaja are available for participants to utilize. In addition to the spaces mentioned above, there are plenty of stairwells, hallways, small rooms and where ever else you think art can be put. In your proposal, mention the type of space you would like to work in or the format of presentation you may wish to work on. There will be 1 video projector and 2 PA sound systems there to use. If you require more or dedicated equipment, you should plan to bring it or acquire it locally when you arrive. There are quite a few 2^nd hand stores, hardware stores, a musical instrument/powertool store and 1 basic electronics store; for bits and bobs that you may require. Pretty much anything can be acquired in Tallinn, the capital, 150 km away and easily accessible by bus or train for under 10 Euros.

Viljandi is a quaint tourist city of 16,000 in the centre of Estonia. It features a Teutonic Knights castle ruins overlooking a picturesque lake, Old Town, forested countryside, nice restaurants and cafes and arty nuance. Thanks to the presence of the Viljandi Culture Academy and the yearly Viljandi Folk Festival, it has a healthy cultural life for a small city. To travel to Viljandi, flights can be booked to Tallinn and a bus or train taken.

The cost of the residency is 25 Euros (payable when you arrive), to cover utilities and other building costs. We, unfortunately, are not a funded residency program and do not have bursaries or other funding available at this time. We do have a building that has great spaces for artists who want to be creative! We can provide invitation letters from the organisations involved to facilitate your funding applications. Viljandi is still a reasonably affordable city for visitors. Food is about 20 Euros a day, if you eat in restaurants, less if you prepare your own meals. There is a kitchen available in the residency building. Accommodation in Viljandi can be found for about 40 Euros a day at the local hotels, student hostel or Airbnb.

The organiser:

Shawn Pinchbeck, is an Alberta, Canada and Estonia based sound and media artist. He has taught sound and media arts courses at Tallinn University’s Baltic Film and Media School, the Estonian Academy of Arts, Viljandi Culture Academy and universities in Latvia.

Art's Birthday 2023

 

Pockets of the cultural world are set to celebrate 60 years of Art’s Birthday, a milestone that the Boreal Electroacoustic Music Society also plans to commemorate. To that end, the music organization announced that Art’s Birthday Edmonton 2023 will take place Saturday, Jan. 14 at Idylwylde Community League (8631-81 Street) that will start with a visual arts and video exhibition at 2 p.m. The evening portion will start at 8 p.m. featuring live performances from Soft Ions, Hitoshi Sugiyama, Nathaniel Sutton, Wayne DeFehr, Trevor DePagie and D.N.E.

French surrealist artist Robert Filliou concocted Art’s Birthday in 1963, declaring that roughly a million years ago, art did not exist until someone dropped a sponge into a pail of water. Filliou chose his birthday of Jan. 17 as Art’s Birthday’s official date, enticing enclaves of practitioners − primarily in Europe − to annually celebrate their craft of choice on that day ever since.

Edmonton joined the global Art’s Birthday festivities in 2008, with BEAMS taking over the event in 2010 with live performances taking place annually, the most recent one taking place in 2020 at the Strathcona Community League. The pandemic compelled BEAMS to stream the last two events via Twitch TV.

Admission to the visual arts exhibition is free, while tickets for the live event are priced at $10 and available at the door. Members of the Idylwylde Community League can attend the evening show for free. Additional information will be posted online at beams.ca.

 BEAMS has a compilation record released on the IFAR music label:

The Boreal Electroacoustic Music Society (BEAMS) is a non-profit society dedicated to the promotion and production of sound art, experimental music and new media. Its membership consists of professional musicians, composers and performance artists from diverse backgrounds driven to create a voice for sound orientated art in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and beyond

For 33 years, BEAMS' philosophy is that of inclusion. This has allowed us to explore a wide range of artistic expression through our events, which have ranged from improvisers, modular synth music, noise music, electroacoustic music, interactive art and to video art. It is always interesting!

BEAMS is intent on fostering local fledgling and established artists through the sponsoring of new original works.
