It emerged from ruins in times of the Golden Horde > in "no man"s land" between Europe and Asia (initially the fortress > stood on an island amid mighty Volga, which was a boundary river > then). Three times the city changed its name (and made it into > history under sinister name of Stalin it is here, in Stalingrad, > where the decisive battle of the Second World War took place). It > changed its appearance from wooden fort to redbrick merchant > town, from a pile of burnt bricks of war times to Empire style > haughty polis. It incurved along the Volga bank a pulsating vein > of Russia, with a dot-and-dashed line (or rather unread Morse code > message, where dots are plants and dashes residential areas). > Here everything is intermittent and pulsating. Vertical lines of > sky scrapers under construction (and the main vertical Mother > Russia monument, the highest in the world), interlace with low > blocks of residential houses; local transport-miracle express > tramway dives underground, and then again comes on surface to > broad daylight; a street rumble of a million-people-city changes to > patriarchal silence of old patios Everything is dashed and pulsating. > So is the city"s cultural life. For the past few years Volgograd > got acquainted with modern art on an international level again. > Again because before post-perestroika still air period > international avant-garde art festivals already rioted here, the > first of them being not in Russia even, but still in USSR. And > again a new generation of modern artists appeared in the city > video-artists included. Not spouted from the old perestroika > generation but rather, jumped out of void, out of a pause in > total Volgograd pulse. > It"s exactly for this new, unknown generation (and by its forces) > that this festival is being prepared. As a launching point, as a > territory for a dialogue with equal young video-makers from all > around the world > This festival is for the young in the first place. The number 2018 > in the name of the festival is not a misprint, since today we > invite to show their debut creative work those people who in 10 > years time, in 2018, will become a formed core of modern art, We > want to look forward together with You, forward into next decade. > We want to show ourselves to the city and to the world. We are > not afraid of putting ourselves into world cultural context even > if the comparison would not be in our favour and we invite young > artists to come forward together with us. We invite the senior to > show us their excellence. We want to learn, want to find our own > place in modern culture. And perhaps, and why not to lay > foundation of a new local cultural tradition, which would not be > intermitted. > > > Planned programmes > Forward competitive programme for young artists (under 33 years of > age). > REview Competitive programme for artists above 33 years of age. > Each artist can submit TWO works, one of which represents the > opening stage of his creative work, and the other today"s stage. > > DEADLINE > For works sent by snail-mail 20th of April 2008. > For works sent by FTP 1st of May 2008. > > Festival"s organizers > "Art-incubator "Videology" workshop with support from Volgograd > regional NGO "Centre for cultural initiatives development" "InTerra". > > Contact information > Address: 400131, Russia, Volgograd, Prospekt Lenina, 21, GUK > Volgograd Museum of Graphic Arts > > mail: forward[a]interra34.ru > > http://www.forward.interra34.ru/english.htm > > _______________________________________________ oberlist mailing list [email protected] http://idash.org/mailman/listinfo/oberlist
