Hitchhiking to Transylvania collaborative video art project
1 31 August 2007
Concept: Iuliana Varodi // www.morisena.org
m o r i s e n a offers a space for international collaborative art
projects, seminars on ecology, sustainability, contemporary art
related issues, summer camps and at times a dorm for
backpackers::::::::::::::
About 7 video artists from north and south, east and west will be
invited to hitchhike to Transylvania. On the way, they will record
images, sounds / music representing whatever charms or intrigues them.
The meeting point is Morisena, the centre for art residencies,
cultural exchange and local development established in Sangeorgiu de
Mures, on the 1st of August 2007.
The first week will be devoted to time for the artists to get familiar
with each other, to watch each others material and to figure out a way
of working together and to decide about the ways the material will be
used for the final film, for example recomposing fragments according
to a script to be written together. Artists may need to shoot some
more material on the spot / in the surroundings. The last week will be
reserved for the editing and final processing of the film. At the end
of August a screening will take place at Teatru 74 (in Targu Mures).
Dissemination, as well as a DVD publishing and spreading through our
network will be provided. The movie will be presented submitted to
various art / alternative film festivals.
Morisena will provide the necessary technology for editing as well as
food and lodging during the project. The conditions will be quite
basic, and together we'll make sure the place will be clean, messy and
cozy. There will be homemade wine, jams, bread and more, all produced
at Morisena from fruits and vegtables coming mainly from our own (and
neighboring) gardens.
Continuity and follow up: in 2008 we intend to have the film
"travelling" back to the original departure points of each artist,
with a team of caravans leaving Morisena at the same time and stopping
on the road to various locations at centres that would be interested
in discussing the film. Various screenings can take place
simultaneously, followed by round table discussions and
teleconferences via webcams in order to discuss issues such as
identity of the traversed spaces etc. This project can be developed
in collaboration with SODAart (www.sodaart.at) in the context of their
NOMAD project, that can provide the needed caravans equipped with all
it takes for screenings and round-table discussions.

Autostop spre Transilvania - proiect de arta video colaborativa
1-31 August 2007
concept - Iuliana Varodi www.morisena.org
In jur de 7 artisti specializati in arta video din nord si sud, est si
vest sunt invitati sa faca autostopul spre Transilvania. Pe drum, vor
inregistra imagini, sunete/muzica reprezentand tot ceea ce ii atrage
sau ii intriga. Locul de intalnire este Morisena, in Sangergiu de
Mures un centru pentru proiecte de arta, schimburi culturale si
dezvoltare regionala - la 1 August 2007.
Prima saptamana va fi dedicata unui rastimp in care artistii vor face
cunostinta, se vor familiariza unul cu materialele celorlalti, vor
stabili moduri de colaborare si vor hotari procedee in care materialul
va fi folosit pentru filmul final, de exemplu compunerea fragmentelor
dupa un scenariu scris impreuna. Artistii s-ar putea sa aiba nevoie sa
mai adune material / sa filmeze cadre la fata locului si in
imprejurimi. Ultima saptamana va fi rezervata edidarii si procesarii
finale ale filmului.
Morisena pune la dispozitie atat tehnologia necesara pentru editare
cat si masa si cazarea in timpul proiectului. Conditiile vor fi
decente dar simple si impreuna vom avea grija ca locul sa curat, pate
putin haotic dar primitor. Vom avea vin de casa, gem, paine si multe
altele, toate produse la Morisena din fructe si legume din gradina
noastra si ale vecinilor.
La sfarsitul lui august va avea loc vizioanrea filmului la Teatrul 74
in Targu Mures. Raspandirea, cat si lansarea DVD-ului si distribuirea
filmului prin reteaua noastra de colaboratori va fi asigurata. Filmul
va fi prezentat in cadrul unor festivaluri de arta vizuala si film
alternative, de exeplu www.astrafilm.ro in Octombrie la Sibiu.
Continuaritate: in 2008 intentionam sa organizam reitinerea filmului
in sens invers spre punctul initial de pornire a fiecarui artist, cu o
echipa de caravane care va pleca de la Morisena in acelasi moment si
va opri pe drum in diferite locuri in centre unde exista un interes
pentru discutarea filmului. Vizionarile in aceste centre se pot
desfasura simultan, urmate de mese rotunde si teleconferinte prin web
cam in care se vor discuta aspecte precum identitatea spatiilor
parcurse etc. Acest proiect va fi dezvoltat in colaborare cu SODAart
(www.sodaart.at) in contextual proiectului NOMAD care poate oferi
logistica si infrastructura necesare proietctarii filmului si
desfasurarii meselor rotunde.
Proiectul va fi elaborat in continuare impreuna cu Fundatia Culturala
META si cu O3ONE, care vor juca un rol important in selectionarea
artistilor, curatorat si difuzarea rezultatului final.
