The third international Text Festival in Bury, Manchester, UK, will open on 29 April 2011.
Project proposals and submissions are invited - in any artform (sound, media, poetry, visual art, etc) using language in innovative ways. As I have mentioned over the last few months the shape of the next festival has been forming, with some great things in place already. There are more venues and new approaches. In addition to the open call, you can submit ideas in response to 4 projected exhibition themes:
1. Duchamp
2. Sentences
3. Wonder Rooms - a large scale survey of international Visual Poetry
4. Artists’ Books
