Puzzle Project Bucharest 15-22 june 2008

~bantumista:iconbantumista: reports, 2d 2h ago
[link]
Following the works done last years by artists from Romania, Moldova, USA, the Netherlands, UK, Spain, Germany, Palestine, Israel, Croatia and Turkey, in 2008 we expect the unconventional gallery on the walls of the Motoare Terrace to be completed – as in a cultural puzzle – with 20 more projects to be done by our Romanian and foreign guests.

OBJECTIVES :

The project is a statement of experiments and artistic expression from different parts of the world. Each year’s theme determines the artists to create links between the imaginary and the real world while under a common source of inspiration.
Being a succesion of editions, the event provides for an annual happening where artists from different cultures meet and build together a puzzle whose mirror-image is given by the diversity of the visitors on the terrace. Artists’ presence add up to the already cosmopolitan atmosphere of the place.
Another aims are to bring together creativity from different areas, to prove during a week art’s power of making people cross boundaries and to show the world what globalization should be about.

Each of the people involved in the project will dedicate their work, their time during this special week, their exeperince to the visitors on the terrace “... with love”.

Romanian and foreign artists may apply for this year edition by accessing the above mentioned web page.

Fan Art & Celebrities Explained!

^cosmosue:iconcosmosue: reports, Oct 25, 2007
This article is meant to explain the relationship between Fan Art, celebrities, and the characters they portray.

First and foremost:

Portraits, pictures, photographs, drawings, paintings, etc. of a celebrity themselves (not in character) are not Fan Art.

Any artwork you create, or photograph you take which is of a celebrity themselves, be it portrait, full body, or somewhere in between should always be uploaded into the proper corresponding gallery (digital, traditional, photography etc.) in the people/portraits category.



All of the above examples are not Fan Art, and reside in their respective galleries.

Furthermore artworks depicting rock stars, sport stars, etc. are also not considered to be Fan Art and should be uploaded into their rightful galleries under the people or portraits category.

So what about artworks or photographs that portray the celebrity as a character he/she has acted as or performed as?

These are Fan Art.

Images which depict the celebrity as a character and not as himself/herself are considered to be Fan Art.




All of the above examples are Fan Art and reside in their respective Fan Art Gallery categories.

In closing I hope this has helped clear up any questions that you may have had regarding Fan Art & Celebrities, remember, when in doubt, just ask, the Artist Relations Team is here to help. For more information and regular updates regarding the Fan Art Gallery, please make sure to have the Gallery Director of Fan Art ^animator on your watch list!

Very interesting topic. It would have been interesting to have read a little more on the legalities of fan art. Especially all those screen captures of game characters, etc that people put up as their own art? Perhaps another time. :D
