SOUND ARTISTS WANTED: You may have heard through the various grapevines that we are starting a new art related event with the people from Cannibal Flower and Thinkspace Art Gallery here in Los Angeles. If you didn't, well now you do.

DDR Projects is doing an open call to artists who wish to participate in the bi-monthly, one-night event. However, we're not looking for just any artist(s). Instead we are looking for sound artists and sound installation artists with a focus on audience interaction and participation. We want to hear from artists who work in visual, performative and aural mediums with the use of sound. We are NOT looking for bands or prototypical musical acts. What we want are works of art that incorporate a certain aesthetic and ambiance not normally associated with 2D art and the ilk. Artists and works of art that might be considered on the fringe.

If you are one of these types of artists, who works in these types of mediums or you know of one, please don't hesitate to submit your work for consideration.

The venue is located in downtown Los Angeles and is approximately 6,000 square feet in size with at least 4,000 square feet of usable exhibition space. With ceilings at least 15' in height. Procuring power is obviously NOT a problem.

PRINTERS / SILK SCREEN ARTISTS WANTED: We are also looking for artists who work in the printing medium. That would include print makers, silkscreeners, etchers, wood block, lino cut and the like. As the new curators to {open} Books in Long Beach, we are creating a new exhibition venue who's primary focus is the print medium. Not only will we be exhibiting original prints, multiples and other print mediums, but we will be hosting demos, lectures and hands-on classes. Long Beach has no venue or galleries devoted specifically to this medium and as big fans of the medium it is our goal to give light to an increasingly creative and inventive medium in the art world. Interested artists should contact us and submit their work for consideration.

Thanks everyone
