IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Attendance: InDialogue was created as a supportive platform for presenters to share their research, to provide an opportunity for artists and researchers to engage with each other in a transdisciplinary, international environment conducive to making new connections. Therefore presenters and delegates are expected to be present and to participate in all 3 days of the symposium, encouraging interaction and to develop an ongoing dialogue between participants 

Costs: Please note that there are no artist’s fees associated with this event and presenters will have to pay a nominal fee to attend this event, in addition to covering their own travel and accommodation.

InDialogue is supported in kind by the venues and the costs cover some refreshments and a communal meal. We are in the process of applying for funding and details of the conference fees will be announced in March 2016. We have negotiated discounted rates on local hotels and letters of support/invitation for successful applicants to use to raise their own funding.

InDialogue 2016 will take place in the city of Nottingham, UK. InDialogue 2016 is curated by founders Dr Heather Connelly and Rhiannon Jones with invited guest curator Rachelle Viader Knowles.

Speaking through the voice of another experiments at NTU Summer Lodge

  

I have just spent 2 weeks in residence at NTU. Which I spent developing ‘This is me’ performance – exchanging 5.1 surround sound speakers for live performers. Further documentation of the residency can be seen at http://www.summerlodge.org/involved-2014/

 

Speaking through the voice of another VII at Liquid Borders International Expo, Bari, Italy

I have adapted the performance piece This is me as a stand alone surround sound work for this exhibition.

Liquid Borders | Bari 2013

“La Corte – Fotografia e ricerca” cultural organization and International ArtExpo are proud to announce the opening of Liquid Borders – International art festival of photography, video art and installation, held in Bari (Italy) in the prestigious and historical locations of Castello Svevo (Swabian Castle), Santa Teresa dei Maschi and Sala Murat, from the 3rd to the 31st of July.

The Festival is based on the main concept of the hybridization among art, culture, physical and social identities in contemporary cities, and the mixing between people and space. Urban environments, people, rules and limits are no more distinct realities, but they constantly modify and get mixed together, generating new connections and hybrid results, with undefined ethic, social, sexual and religious borders. Forty-one artists, from all over the world, have been invited to present their artworks related to the theme, during the festival which will be hosted in the three venues of the city of Bari, until the end of July. The aim of the festival is to understand which are the borders still alive in contemporary metropolis, and which ones have become undefined and hybrid. To understand that, artists use material, pictures, sounds, videos and site-specific installations.Fausta Maria Bolettieri and Luca Curci, curators.

The installation “Extemporary blankets” by Emanuele Saracino will be connected with the sound-art artwork “This is me – Speaking through the voice of another” by Heather Connelly, in the Sala Murat.

Hours

Castello Svevo. Everyday, 9.00 AM – 6.30 PM
Sala Murat. From Tuesday to Sunday, 10.00 AM – 1.00 PM, 6.00 PM – 9.00 PM
Santa Teresa dei Maschi. From Monday to Friday, 9.00 AM – 2.00 PM; Tuesday and Thursday, 3.00 PM – 6.00 PM

Speaking through the voice of another in Cardiff

I have just presented my research project at

Translations: Exchange of Ideas – An Interdisciplinary Postgraduate Conference, Cardiff University, Wales UK

June 26^th – 28^th 2013

Speaking through the voice of another: an exploration of translation through art practice

I devised and presented a performative text, a fusion of theory and practice – based on my third chapter as part of a panel on Bilingual and Monolingual approaches to translation.

Speaking through the voice of another – Screening and discussion group

Screen a number of artists video/performance work whose practices deal with the practice of translation and interpretation in order to facilitate an open discussion with the delegates about what issues the works provoked about translation for them.

The  interdisciplinary conference was inspirational!

IN DIALOGUE SUCCESS

The symposium last week was a real success – thanks to all who contributed and supported we will be uploading images etc. in the next few weeks onto the website: http://indialogue2012.wordpress.com/ (see In Dialogue page for further info)

Panel 1: Translation as Dialogue chaired byHeather Connelly. Featuring , Clare Charnley and Alex Mevel and Katarina Zdjelar on skype.

This panel considered what happens when translation is conceptualized as dialogue, foregrounding the contingent and relational activities of intercultural communication? What can be learned when both the source and the target language remain open and willing to be altered through an interaction with an ’other’ (Linnel 2009) and what new knowledge is being created about translation through artistic practice?

you can still watch the first day of the event on:  http://www.nottinghamcontemporary.org/event/dialogue.

• What can be learned when both the source and the target language remain open and willing to be altered through an interaction with an ’other’ (Linnel 2009)
