INVITATION
FOR VIDEO INSTALLATIONS
DUPPINI
Art Group, supported by Municipality of Veliko Tarnovo are organizing
“Duppini
LIKE: The Old Post Office and modern means of communication”
With a series of events over the past
few years, DUPPINI Art Group enlivened the building of the Old Post Office in the town of Veliko Tarnovo. For the
major event “The Old Post Office or modern means of communication”, a lot of famous artists were invited to creatively respond to the challenges of an architectural space which has lost its
function. The results of the event were impressive, which made us proceed with
the theme by announcing an invitation for
video installations in the same spaces of the Old
Post Office this year. This iconic architectural building of Veliko
Tarnovo, which was built and
performed its functions as a major center of
communication in the 20th century, is now forgotten
and empty. New technologies, which
have largely changed contemporary art as well, allow for reflections
unrelated to any physical presence,
and give opportunities for redefining
and creating a new context in the spaces of the Old Post Office.
The present
invitation for participation with original projects is extended
to all creative artists from Bulgaria and abroad who would like to react
to the specific spaces of the Old Post Office.
Creative challenge: Adaptation of contemporary forms of
visual expression to the specific space of the Old Post Office in the town of Veliko
Tarnovo, communication with spaces
and their transformation by means of digital arts.
Visual
information about spaces and events from the last year, and an application form
can be found at Duppini Art Group Facebook page and at http://duppini.blogspot.com/.
Requirements
for participation:
Deadline
for sending the projects: 10th November 2013.
Presentation
of the selected creative artists will take place from 22nd to 25th
November 2013 and will activate interior and exterior spaces of the Old
Post Office, turning it into an active spot for visual communication with the viewers,
both local people and town guests. Publication of the selected projects on the
Duppini Art Group Facebook page will take place on 22nd November
2013, which will be the start of the public vote (continuing until 2nd
December 2013).
The
author whose project receives the greatest number of LIKEs, as well as one
author selected by the organizers, will be invited for a one-month stay in the
Residential Art Center of Duppini Art
Group in Veliko Tarnovo in 2014. Awarded authors will be announced on 5th
December 2013.
By
means of reflecting on the place and role of arts as a communication tool, we
would like for this event to support our ambition to create an art center for
contemporary art in the town of Veliko Tarnovo.
