RURAL ARCHITECTURES
Nodar Artist Residency Program (São Pedro do Sul, Portugal)

Artist Residency Periods: April, June and September 2012
Artistic Disciplines: Sound Installations, Sound Sculptures

Application Open until 15 September 2011

The 2012 Nodar Artist Residency Program will specifically explore the interactions between landscape, architecture and sound in the rural context of the Gralheira Mountains, municipality of São Pedro do Sul.

12 art projects by individual artists or collectives will be selected. The art works will acoustically “activate” different types of rural constructions, through the creation of context-specific sound installations and sculptures. The projects to be selected may include the participation of experts in non-art complementary disciplines, such as architecture, archeology, anthropology, etc..

In parallel, anthropologists, geographers, archaeologists and architects will be invited by Binaural/Nodar to contribute to a cross-disciplinary reflection on the rural architecture of the region and its potential new uses, with particular emphasis on structures that have lost their original function.
