We’ve previously mentioned ‘Editions of You’ as part of Oxford Contemporary Music’s Spring 2011 season. Want to get involved? The people behind the initiative – Oxford Brookes University Popular Music Research Unit, Oxford Contemporary Music and O3 Gallery in association with Oxford Castle – are looking for independent artists to contribute.
They’re after “self-releasing musicians who create their own hand-made or distinctively packaged music releases,” as well as “artists who create their own fanzine publications”. If you’re one of those – or hey, even both – send information, demos and links to Lisa Busby at Oxford Brookes University, by 4 March.
‘Editions of You’ will comprise the following events:
- Launch party and private view at the O3 Gallery: Friday 25 March. 6 pm–8 pm. Includes local DJ collective ‘Shit! I can DJ’ present a very special guest
- Exhibition at the O3 Gallery: Saturday 26 March–Sunday 24 April. 12 pm–5 pm weekdays, 11 am–4 pm weekends. Closed Mondays
- Live Thursdays: Forming part of the O3 Gallery’s performance programme ‘Alternative Thursdays’, these evening events will showcase performances from self releasing artists, bands and DJs, and create a forum for discussions with the leading UK thinkers on the subject. O3 Gallery: 31 March, 7 April, 14 April, 21 April. 6 pm–8 pm
- Zine fair: Buy special edition releases and music zines you won’t find in the shops at this all-day event in Castle Street Square. Oxford Castle: 9 April. 11 am–6 pm
