Artists - in - Residence ProgrammeGdansk/PolandOpen CallDeadline for applications: 1 June 2012
CAC Laznia in collaboration with Gdansk Archipelago of Culture announces an Open Call for artists-in-residence programme VNO-GDN. It is aimed at young artists working in the field of visual art to participate in the residency from 25th August to 9th September 2012 as part of Lithuanian contemporary art festival – Vilnius Days in Gdańsk.
Gdańsk and Vilnius, two cities in close historical as well as geographical proximity. Besides a lot of things in common there is still no direct flights. With the project VNO-GDN we build a symbolic, creative bridge – AIR, being an opened studio for young, Lithuanian artists. This studio just as the Fluxus movement will become an opened space for creative dialogue.
The more I see, the less I grasp
White noise
News. Everyday News. Breaking News.
Do they (still) concern us?
Do they break our social order?
Or rather as the english proverb says «The more it changes, the more it stays the same.»
New media give us the readymade information, often over aestheticised and ready to consume. What is therefore our role as users. Will we see the next pandemia attack as a new entertainment channel?
Maybe our concern is superficial and we feel relieved, as Umberto Eco says, relevied that the problem has nothing to do with us.
Or should we begin to interact ?
The media create white noise. Is it useful from time to time to hide facts that are not suppossed to be revealed ? How to become a responsible consumer? Piere Levy compares contemporaneity to the flood myth, where the Ark floats on the redundant sea of information. How should the contemporary compass look ? Can art be the vehicle?
