The event will be curated by Paul Adams and Garrett Lynch as part of the non-profit audio / visual organisation Open Ear (http://openear.wordpress.com/). We are seeking in particular artist’s who can work with the outside space in a live context; this can range from approaches such as the projection of visual based works on the building fascias through to site specific responses recording and manipulating the surrounding architecture and environment. Individual performances can last up to 30 minutes and will take place in the courtyard of Canterbury Christ Church University, Broadstairs Campus, Kent, England from 8pm on Friday the 11th of May.

This event is run by Open Ear as part of an initiative to bring new forms of live audio / visual art to an area currently undergoing a cultural regeneration.
