SMALL BLACK BOX
A Monthly performance space at Metro Arts, 109 Edward St., to foster a community (both artists and audience) dedicated to experimental music and sound art in Brisbane, Australia.
With access to all areas of the Metro Arts building, artists have a diverse variety of several spaces to propose performances or installations, from a traditional theatre or studio settings to carriageways, stairwells and foyers. The opportunity for local and interstate artists to fulfil experimental music performances and sound art installations is the inspiration overflowing from Small Black Box. Artists are freed to concentrate on their work and have it scheduled into a rapidly evolving year program that will attract Brisbane audiences.
Intimate audiences are supporting present skirmishes with sound art and experimental music performances sporadically attacking the entertainment scene; with a monthly medication Small Box aims to develop, refine and widen the tastes and education of the audience.
With support from ticket sales and volunteers, the budget for Small Black Box is modest, an emphasis will be on abducting interstate artists for performances as a cultural exchange of ideas with local talent. Promotion is approached innovatively by replacing flyers and posters with emails and newsgroups, aus_noise, enhancing the word of mouth support that drives the awareness of new music performances in Brisbane.
Small Black Box, as a performance space will be a pivotal location for new music in Brisbane. Associated with the events will be a regular stall of recorded works by artists.
