Open Call: Sonic Pavilion

AntennaeProject and Experimental Sound Studio invite artists to submit proposals for the “urban+nature sonic pavilion", an exhibition of original soundworks to be showcased on the one-of-a-kind multi-channel system of Chicago’s Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park for summer 2024.

Submission deadline: March 1st.

The sonic dimension of the urban environment is a rich tapestry: nowhere else are the sounds of animals, machines, people, trees, and the elements interwoven so incidentally and yet so vividly.

This more-than-human soundtrack is constantly generated by every neighborhood, street corner, parkway, and back alley, and it can reveal the earthly voices embedded in the sonance of the city, if only we stop to listen.

This exhibition is curated by Giovanni Aloi and Chris Hunter of Antennae, a leading independent, peer-reviewed publication on the subject of nature in contemporary art, in collaboration with Experimental Sound Studio (ESS), an innovative global hub for sonic experimentation, and sponsored by the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE)
