WHAT IS JOLT ARTS INC.?
JOLT Sonic Arts Inc. is a not for profit artist run organization that was initially formed with the following statement of purpose:
"to provide opportunities for musicians and sound artists to contribute to the development of Australian culture through participation in high calibre cutting edge sonic performance and installation based projects artistically directed by James Hullick."
JOLT Arts Inc., directed by sonic artist James Hullick, is dedicated to:
1. Touring sonic art and music events internationally
2. Developing and making large and medium scale sonic art and music productions
3. Presenting an annual concert and gallery based sound art and music series in Australia.
In 2011 JOLT will launch the JOLT Recording Label.
In 2007, the JOLT concert projects provided employment to over thirty sonic and visual artists involving performances here and overseas. The success of these projects was the birth place of JOLTArts Inc. in 2008. JOLT is governed by a top class Board of Management, with the Chair being Jim Maitland Hullick OAM - former head of the Local Governments Association in SA (father to James) - and Vice-Chair being Danielle Evans - currently a Senior Lawyer with the Australian Communications and Media Authority. JOLT's Board work for JOLT on a volunteer basis, and it is this spirit of community contribution that is s treasured at JOLT. While JOLT is still a young organisation, projects have been managed in Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, Cologne, Switzerland and New York. These outcomes point to an organisation that seeks to deliver exciting contemporary arts projects in many contexts, and an organisation that is able to maintain balance whilst in flux.
HUBS: MELBOURNE
2011 will see the launching of JOLT's international offices which we at JOLT refer to as HUBS. The development of international HUBS has seen a shift in JOLT's organisational structure, with JOLT's Melbourne HUB being a 'Home Office' that is responsible for co-ordinating all other HUBS. Every JOLT HUB has it's own JOLT Organiser who works with Hullick in delivering international outcomes.
HUBS for Basel, Switzerland and Tokyo have already begun operation and their upcoming projects will be announced shortly.
THE DIRECTOR:
Dr. James Hullick
In his role as Managing and Artistic Director of JOLT's home office in Melbourne, Hullick is responsible for devising and directing JOLT projects, seeking out talented and hard working artists, co-ordinating the international JOLT HUBS and working with JOLT staff on the day to day administration. Hullick is often involved as an artist in JOLT projects and this is why JOLT is essentially an artist run organisation. More information about Hullick can be seen by clicking the links here to:
