<b>INTERNATIONAL CALL FOR PROPOSALS</b><br>
<br>
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. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:.1pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:.1pt;margin-left:0in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial"><br>
<b>Selection Process:</b><br>
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. </span></p>

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. </span></p>
