Puzzle Project Bucharest 15-22 june 2008

~bantumista:iconbantumista: reports, 2d 3h 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.
