EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITY:
Themed exhibition series
Interactivity: Sight and Sound
Colored hearing: sounds,
music or voices seen as colors is referred to as synesthesia. Synesthetic art
refers to multi-sensory experiments in the genres of visual art, music
visualization, audiovisual art, abstract film and other multi-and intermedia.
The concept of synesthesia has long been a source of inspiration for artists,
composers and writers. The work produced by artists attempting to provoke
simultaneous perception by different senses has suggested the idea of
"interactivity": between sight and hearing in particular, but not
necessarily excluding interactivity among the other senses. Artists are invited
to consider this concept and propose an exhibit of works that might connote or
express it.
The Department of Visual
and Performing Arts is calling for exhibition proposals for the Open Gallery in
The Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation Arts Center that address the theme,
"Interactivity: Sight and Sound." Four exhibitions will be scheduled
for the 2015–2016 academic year.
Proposals must be
received by April 17, 2015. Applicants
will be notified by June 1.
