*unplace** exhibition** - networked art: places-between-places*. *19th june to 19th november* at *unplace.org/exhibition* <http://unplace.org/exhibition>.
The *unplace *virtual exhibition constitutes an important outcome of the *unplace* research project. *Curated by António Pinto Ribeiro and Rita Xavier Monteiro*, with the collaboration of Helena Barranha, Susana S, Martins and Raquel Pereira, the exhibition is promoted by the Gulbenkian Next Future Programme <http://www.proximofuturo.gulbenkian.pt/>. The *unplace* exhibition brings together Internet and web-specific artworks in which the tensions between real and virtual spaces are highlighted through online practices ranging from geopoetics, fiction and hacktivism to participatory projects in networked environments. It includes: 16 artworks, by artists from 12 different countries, organised around 2 thematic tours. Among these 16 artworks there are: 11 Internet Art projects + 1 new version of an existing web-specific project + 4 entirely new *unplace* web-specific projects. *The place is nowhere at all and yet everywhere. * *These works are in permanent traffic and this is one of the great open questions of this 'art form'. They may appear in the middle of the flow of other images, data, graphics, emails, retained or sticking filters, subject to the accessibility protocols or coded, and can be accessed in visual infrastructures or coupled to the real. This versatility puts these works in a permanent state of mutability and hence is part of its fascination and its relevance.* *Works by:* Ahmed El Saher (Egypt), Ai Weiwei (China) & Olafur Eliasson (Denmark, Germany), Alfredo Jaar (Chile/USA), Art is Open Source (Italy), Clement Valla (France/USA), Giselle Beiguelman <http://www.desvirtual.com/mirrored/> (Brazil), João Paulo Serafim - MIIAC (Portugal), JODI (Belgium/Netherlands), John Barber (USA), Paula Levine (Canada/USA), Thompson & Craighead (UK), Wilfredo Prieto (CUB), Perry Bard (Canadá), Sandra Gamarra (Peru/Spain) & Antoine-Henry Jonquères - LiMac (France/Spain), Hanna Husberg (Finland/Sweden) & Laura McLean (Australia/UK), S.A.R.L. group (Portugal). *E-books* In order to promote a wider and interdisciplinary debate on contemporary art, virtual museums and exhibitions, the unplace <http://unplace.org/project/presentation> research team has produced several presentations and publications, now available in digital format through this website. These publications are intended to stimulate the discussion on central topics of the unplace <http://unplace.org/project/presentation> project, thus contributing to a more dynamic contact between academic, artistic and museological communities.
