Southern Exposure’s Alternative Exposure grant program has awarded VOLUME a $3,000 grant for Electronic Cinema, a series commissioning four Bay Area artists: Elise Baldwin, Lissom (Tana Sprague), myrmyr, and Kadet Kuhne to perform a live sound score for an existing experimental film or video by another Bay Area artist of their choice. Filmmakers include Paul Clipson, Vanessa Woods, Anthony Discenza, Maia Cybelle Carpenter, and SUE-C.

Curated by VOLUME and Kadet Kuhne, Electronic Cinema seeks to merge two artists communities, electronic sound and music composers, and filmmakers. Presented as a series of five performances and a limited edition DVD, this project will create new relationships and possibilities for expanding the experimental art community.

Performances will take place at ATA and Gray Foundation for the Arts in San Francisco, in addition to other venues to be announced. A limited-edition DVD of the five commissions will be produced, as well.
