Ceramic Values
Proposal to the congress
Hi.
My name is Jørgen FS Haarstad. The proposal I have is to present my new work of ceramic sound installation which includes one or several performances at the congress. The ceramics I use comes from waist material and of line production that I collect at Norwegian Technical Porcelain , NTP (Fredrikstad) where I have my studio. NTP produces high voltage insulators. http://www.ntp-as.no NTP had 600 employees now theres 16.I have been working there the last 4 years. Most of my MA studys and work was done at the factory. I experiment within strict frames of NTP´s production line searching for the performative potential in the porcelain waist material. Visualy and soundwise.
The instalation is flexible in sice, but I would prefere a large room or stage if possible. It would also be an advantage if it is possible to attach hooks in the ceiling or from a rigg. An other option if space is a problem is to present only sound through a PA- sound system inside or ouside the congress/festival. When I am not having performances the the ceramic soundtrack goes in a loop, sequences from 10 minutes up to 30 minutes.
Funding : There is possible to submit/apply for shipping cost support from Norwegian Crafts. Deadline for this is 1 of april.
