Light & Sound Gallery “Call for Submissions”

Submission Deadline: June 30th, 2007, 6pm

The Portland Art Center
The PAC is a nonprofit exhibition space and resource center for the contemporary arts. Its mission is to cultivate informative and innovative interactions between the art world and the public. Portland Art Center serves as a support network and information hub for the
contemporary arts in Portland, Oregon and the Northwest. Our dynamic programming offers unique opportunities to contemporary artists whose work is outside the commercial gallery
system.

The Program
The Light & Sound Gallery is a new space dedicated to the exhibition of video and sound-art installations. Our intention is to create a focused space for listening and viewing. The program features installation-based audio and/or video pieces, with an emphasis on multi-channel and
sculptural work. We are seeking proposals that fully explore the spatial potentials of sound and image while challenging the conventions of narrative and viewer/listener orientation.
Surround-sound and multi-speaker compositions, multi-screen video works and intersections of the two mediums are welcome. Currently Portland Art Center cannot guarantee a financial stipend for artists but can often acquire supplies and assist with housing an artist from out of town.

The Space
The physical space is a long rectangular room on the second floor, measuring 26.5’ x 9.5’ with a height of 10 feet. The entrance is 3’ wide and covered by a heavy curtain. The space is painted entirely white and lighting options are open and flexible. There is one large pipe that
runs the length of the space on the left wall upon entry with a cluster of pipes at the back left corner.
