other/other/other

other/other/other is a new collective based in Norwich with the aim of providing discussion and support for artists in the region whose practice falls outside the remit of the existing art spaces. We believe that Norwich has a long way to go before sound art is recognised as being different from music, and before performance stops meaning spectacle.

If you are interested in being a part of this, come along to a meeting or join in a discussion. Or just email us:

Manifesto

Every exhibition opportunity begins with works being devised, developed and made as a group where possible. Creative collaboration doesn’t necessarily mean compromising and a collaborative project doesn’t have to result in a jointly made artwork.
We will share space during the making of work and the exhibiting of work to ensure every member commits to the other/other/other ethos:

Group aim/purpose:

To stimulate and support the location-responsive/durational art scene in Norwich
To provide regular peer discussion
To hire unusual spaces for regular opportunities to make site-specific works
To provide opportunities for collaboration between practitioners
To enable the public to access less traditional art-forms, and developing a regular, sustainable audience in Norwich
To network and liaise with local institutions and venues, and maintain a dialogue with venue directors

Type of work we show/make as a group:

Site-specific/responsive and durational work (intervention/performance/installation/sound)

What we don’t show/make:

Non-site-specific work: work that doesn’t reference the space in which it is created or shown
Art forms that already have an established scene in Norwich (e.g. straight/traditional theatre, music, painting, photography, or sculpture)
