-------------------------------------------
1. ://selfportrait a- show for Peace

When one year ago, the hot phase of the organisation of the media art project
://selfportrait - a show for Bethlehem - http://self.engad.org - was starting,
nobody could expect that this exhibition could be realized under the political conditions at that time, at all.
In July 2006, when the exhibition at Al Kahf Art Gallery in Bethlehem/Palestine was inaugurated,
see documentation on http://self.engad.org/blog/?p
the conflict in Lebanon was escalating at that time, and most foreigners had the left Palestine.
In this very moment, the exhibition got its actual meaning, because the 200 participating artists
became real messengers of peace by overcoming the wall which is separating Palestine from Isareli territory
when I passed the checkpoint the exhibition material in my luggage.

Now, in March 2007, a first phase of exhibitions came to an end
which started after Bethlehem, first at Officyna Art Space Szczecin/Poland (October/November 2006)
see documentation on http://self.engad.org/blog/?p!
followed by Casoria Contemporary Art Museum Naples Italy (December 2006 - Janunary 2007),
see documentation on http://self.engad.org/blog/?p'
MAC - Museum of Contemporary Art Sajnta Fe/Argentina (December 2006- February 2007)
http://self.engad.org/blog/?p&
and finally MACRO - Museum of Contemporary Art Rosario/Argentina (February/March 2007)
a documentation will follow, yet.

At this stage, thanks to all participating artists and cooperating art institutes,
I hope some more shows can be organised in future.

Call: soundart for SoundLAB - Edition V
Theme: soundSTORY
deadline 1 August 2007
---------------------------------------
SoundLAB -
sonic art project environments
http://soundlab.newmediafest.org
is currently preparing its fifth edition looking for new soundart works

In 2004, SoundLAB was launched as a corporate part of the global networking project
[R][R][F]200x--->XP - http://rrf200x.newmediafest.org
on occasion of BEAP - Electronic Art Festival Perth/Australia 2004,
but started soon also individually acting as an environment for sonic art.

Edition IV was launched in October 2006
under the title "memoryscapes" incorporating 144 artists and 235 soundart pieces
dealing with "memory and identity" in most different ways,
and it became corporate part of the media art show
://selfportrait - a show for Bethlehem - a show for Peace
http://self.engad.org. - which is currently running at
MACRO - Museo de Arte Contemporaneo Rosario/Argentina
http://www.marcromuseo.org.ar
.
Edition V stands under the theme: --> "soundSTORY"
exploring "sound" as a tool for storytelling.
Therefore besides the soundart piece itself,
the story this piece is telling has a particular relevance.

SoundLAB is inviting soundartists, musicians and composers
to submit such a soundart narrative.

Please find all entry details and the submission form on
http://www.nmartproject.net/netex/?p$
