In April 2022 SIGNAL put out the call for proposals from young screen and sound artists to develop new works for digital presentation and form new collaborations online.
Within a month, we received 55 proposals. From such a competitive field, commissions were awarded to screen artists Lǐ Xīng Yǔ (Echo Li), Amy Manson, Sofie McClure, and Carmen Yih; and sound artists Rebecca Bracewell, Monique Gawne, April Guest, and Fetle Wondimu Nega.
Throughout the 12 week program, young artists received technical and creative support through weekly online development workshops led by sound artist Ryan Granger and video artist Freya Pitt. Each artist also received one-on-one mentoring from established artists and industry professionals. The screen artists were mentored by Devika Bilimoria, Corinna Berndt, Eliza Hutchison and Aaron Christopher Rees; and the sound artists were mentored by Bridget Chappell, Yeo Choong, Fayen D’Evie, and Thembi Soddell.
Over the first 6 weeks, the commissioned artists focused on realising their individual proposals, meeting regularly to share their progress with the group. All of the young artists, lead artists, and mentors were incredibly generous with their feedback and support for each work in development, encouraging conceptual and aesthetic exploration. The result is 8 rich, complex, and varied solo screen and sound works.
In the second half of the program, each sound artist was matched with a screen artist and they worked together to create a second, audio-visual artwork. In just 6 short weeks, they were challenged to develop a brand new collaborative relationship, negotiate a shared creative process, and realise a new work from concept to delivery!
