About event
This year, in cooperation with the loneliness festival, we organize an exhibition
“revival”
(English Below)
If we want to restore something, we should first try to reveal and understand the essence. Like the restorers, probes do the masonry - with gradual scraping of layers, let's expose what is hidden under the surface. But how do we restore countries destroyed by war conflicts? Do we want to restore confidence and find a common language again in a polarized company? The planet is said to be renewed by itself after many years, but can we "repair" humanity? Do we have to change completely from the ground up, or do you just need to return to "good old times"? What is our attitude towards the past and the restoration of historical monuments, such as a manor house, to which the genius loci is responding? Nowadays, polycry and cataclyzia are important to keep hope. Is it hope in recovery? In the restoration of what and at what price? It will include an exhibition entitled revival. In our call, you can apply one work that you think most fit into the concept of the exhibition.
In this open challenge without restrictions, students of fine art, amateur creators, professional artists, or designers can participate. It is also possible to register digital and performing works.
