Sound & Soundings October 29, 7:30-8:30pm

By J Gumiela / October 24, 2018 October 24, 2018

“The range of a bell, inscribed in a classical perspective of harmony, served to define a territory that was haunted by the notion of limits as well as the threat of those limits being transgressed.“

–Alain Corbin, Village Bells

Auditory communities are created when we all hear (or are forced to hear) the same sounds. Inclusive and excluding, such communities are formed or fractured, coalesced or disrupted by our ever-increasing use of portable electronic devices. In the era of bluetooth speakers and earbuds, we find ever more complicated ways to reach out or to close off, both positions fundamentally made possible through technological engagements. Sound is social; it can also be a weapon. Silence is golden; it can also sunder. Somewhere between these poles we all function. Tonight students and faculty in two classes that deal with sound in very different ways come together to think through its implications.

Midway Public Art Mini Grants

By J Gumiela / May 23, 2018 May 23, 2018

What: The Midway Public Art Working Group (MPAWG) is allocating $1,000 for mini-grants of up to $250 to fund community-led public art projects in the Hamline-Midway neighborhood. Projects can be permanent, temporary, or ephemeral. MPAWG is interested in supporting work that engages thematically with the Hamline-Midway neighborhood, its residents, and its past, present, or future. MPAWG may be able to provide logistical support, such as information about completing a Paint the Pavement project or locating an artist to do a garage door mural, depending on the request. Consider public art to be art in its broadest sense, encompassing any medium, that is available for consumption in public spaces.

When: All projects must be completed by the end of 2018

Who: Anybody is eligible to apply.

Deadline: May 31, 2018.

Application Process: Please provide a detailed description of the project, along with plans to execute the project, and how the money will be spent, and email it to jonathan[at]midwaymurals.com. Applications can be sent in written, audio, or video formats, and in any language.

Cory Quirk Sound Installation Dec 18 & 19

By J Gumiela / December 12, 2017 December 12, 2017

Hamline student Cory Quirk is opening a sound art installation titled Nature & Urbanity for two evenings to display some of the audio he’s recorded over the past year at Hidden Falls Regional Park. The park is of particular interest being that it is located on the St. Paul bank of the Mississippi and is constantly blanketed with the booming drones from the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The project seeks to distill the sonic experience of a city park apart from the visual one to document the mixture of sounds we consider to be natural with those we consider to be noisy and synthetic.
