In framework of our project "nEUROPA" we are looking for participants to the 2 following projects:
- Camera nEUROPA I: exhibition "What means Germany to me..." - Camera nEUROPAII: Eurotrixx Project descriptions you find down below. We are looking for 1) photographers and 2) movie-makers and 3) those, who are interested in showing the Eurotrixx movies in their location. "nEUROPA are those, who accept and actively support the peaceful and tolerant exchange of art and culture". Camera nEUROPA I: exhibition "What means Germany to me." Up to now we have predominantly showed photographies from Central- & Eastern Europe in our own gallery "neue osten". The photos have been reflecting local life and producing in these countries. With our project "What means Germany to me..." once we would like to change the focus and organize an international exhibition together with the artists from nEUROPA, mainly the focused regions of Kultur Aktiv's work (Southern Caucasus, Balkan, Belarus). They will present their views on Germany. What means Germany for these artists, which emotions, which experiences, which products and marks, which way of life, which political relations, which cultural activities etc. connect them with our country? Each of the artists is allowed to provide one photography for the exhibition. Thus, he/she will be forced to work and to think about the picture. All the photos have the same size A3. Deadline for application: 31.3.2014 Only artists from nEUROPA can participate. They have to live in their countries and can't be residents of Germany. We want to present an undisguised view about Germany from outside and it doesn't matter, if some of the artist does have already visited Germany or not. We plan the participation of about 30 artists and we will also access to international important photographers, who have already been presented in our magazine "partisanen" or in the gallery "neue osten". A catalogue can be prepared, which presents photographers from our network and their work. This catalogue have been planned already in year 2012, but because of lack of money it couldn't be realized. The exhibition is planned to take place at "Cargo Gallery", a swimming gallery at the river Elbe. The "Cargo Gallery" is a formerly cargo ship, which was rebuild into a cultural house. The ship is owned and run by our partner Nike o.s. from Czech Republic. The "Cargo Gallery" will stop in Dresden in July-September 2014. Camera nEUROPA II: EUROTRIXX - nEUROPEAN Moving Animation Cinema 1) Project intention The main issue of Kultur Aktiv e.V. is to develop mutual activities within countries and among them. This is based on the will to understand and respect each other with all sorts of inequalities resulting from inde-pendent developments and special cultural characteristics. Club nEUROPA and the whole project Cargo Gallery 2014 are both embedded in this idea. The term nEU-ROPA is meant to underline our conviction, that Europe is more than the EU-Europe and to encourage reflections about this. The aim is thus to create and support a co-operation between Kultur Aktiv e.V. and participating partners. Due to our experiences, at the very beginning of mutual projects different languages appear as an obstacle in communication. This is where EUROTRIXX, as a part of Club nEUROPA, is going to start. 2) Concept Animation films belong to a genre which can often do without any words. They can be presented regardless any borders and without the necessity of usual translations. EUROTRIXX - nEuropaen Moving Animation Cinema brings exactly this idea into focus, setting priorities in first place onto EU-countries but also the outlying European regions. EUROTRIXX - is a non-commercial moving animation cinema, started in Dresden, which is further going to be shown in all participating countries. It has come into being from a low budget concept and is meant to be continued once a year or every second year (after the evaluation of the first edition). The concept of EUROTRIXX has an unique position feature and corresponds with the idea of developing the current technical production. Moreover, it offers an easily transported form of presentation which is usable almost everywhere. The animation program is intended to last for app. 90 minutes. The films are to be on average 10 minutes long each and presented on a digital data medium. A single film should not be older than 10 years (younger if possible). We set no strong genre limits. Our main criteria is that the film is understandable without language in all countries. For the present, we keep contacts to partners from Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Georgia, Czech Republic and the Balkans. 3) Time span Deadline for submission of a movie is: 31.3.2014. EUROTRIXX will start during Cargo Gallery in July 2014 at Dresden. Afterwards, the film program will travel in co-operation with the partner organizations from nEurope-countries. 4) Organizer EUROTRIXX Kultur Aktiv e.V. was founded 2002 in Dresden with the target to support the cultural life of town districts. During the last 10 years the organization developed to a body which knows how to network and present art and culture locally and internationally. We curry out annually national and international projects with app. 30 single events. Our team work in over 15 countries on programs focused on Eastern Europe. Additionally, we offer all interested persons/organizations a base for the development of own ideas and projects from different culture branches. Project leaders of EUROTRIXX: Holger Wendland is a fine artist, editor, curator. Uwe Penckert is a film scientist, curator. Both project leaders have been working so far at different projects of the association and in other cultural fields. 5) Contacts to EUROTRIXX - contact: Uwe Penckert: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] - contact: Holger Wendland: [email protected] - More information about Kultur Aktiv e.V. under: www.kulturaktiv.de ----------------------------------------------------------------------- KULTUR AKTIV e.V.
