*INTERNATIONAL CALL FOR PROPOSALS*

Now entering its fourth year, Low Lives is an international festival of
live performance-based works transmitted via the internet and projected in
real time at multiple venues throughout the U.S. and around the world. Low
Lives examines works that critically investigate, challenge, and extend the
potential of performance practice presented live through online
broadcasting networks. These networks provide a new alternative and
efficient medium for presenting, viewing, and archiving performances.
Artists working in any media are invited to submit proposals for live
performance-based works.


*Selection Process:*
Each Presenting Partner (see list below) will follow their curatorial
process to select one performance to take place at their venue. In
addition, 40 artists will be selected from artist proposals responding to
this Call for Artists, and will be invited to present their work across the
Low Lives network. These performances will be transmitted through the
internet from a location of the artists’ choice. The Selections Committee
will be comprised of Directors and Curators from Presenting Partner
institutions and Low Lives’ production team.



Artists selected to participate in this exhibition will be instructed on
how to transmit their performance through a live online broadcasting
network. Performances will be projected in real time across the Low Lives 4
network of Presenting Partners and venues. The exhibit will also be
available for online viewing, both in real time as it unfolds across
political boundaries and time zones, and on the Low Lives website after the
event.



A full-color catalog and companion DVD with information and an image for
each participating artist will be produced for Low Lives 4 after the
exhibition takes place. Artists interested in participating in Low Lives 4
are encouraged to visit www.lowlives.net to view previous Low Lives
exhibition catalogs and performance videos.
