'You say tomato, I say tomato'

The North by North West people are planning an exhibition about the nature of dialogic disagreement. The proposition is that in this context misunderstanding occurs due to failures in communication rather than fundamental differences in opinion. Such malfunctions within conversations result from conflicting learnt definitions of words and differing conceptions of their meaning.

So works are requested that engage with semantics in spoken language in order to explore and demonstrate the above ideas.

In light of the above please consider the following statement in regards to your own work...
"Every conversation is a game, every player has their own rules."

Send details of completed works or proposals for new or relevant work by Friday 12th Feb. [Video, audio, performance, spoken word]

Please send an artist's CV and your proposals, including links to past works if available by email to: nathalie.boobis@nxnwfestival.co.uk If you have completed work, please post your artist's CV and DVD Pals, CDs or relevant documentation of performances to: Anna Smith, Flat 3, 5 Mauldeth Road West, Manchester, M20 3WB
