WORKPLAN
The program provides a rotating system in which selected artists will experience at least two residencies in different rural rock environments to explore the various European civilizations from a different angel.
The artists will participate in different composition in sessions of minimum 4 weeks in
a participating international residency in/on and between rocks and afterwards 4
weeks in the residency in the own region.
Through intense dialogue the arts professionals will communicate verbally and visually.
The art production includes all visual arts like sculpting, painting/drawing, photography, installation, site-specific, community-based-art, video and/ or mixed media.
The artists and the works will circulate between the different locations. In order to get acquainted and involved with the location, the artists will need to explore the environment, both the nature and the rural culture. The impact of place is different for every artist. The confrontation with specific rural circumstances is a challenge for artists to start the intense dialogue and exchange in art works. The atmosphere in landscape and climate, and the mood and attitude of the people of different cultures living in the country side will offer the specific impressions to the artists. The locations will also add the inter-cultural aspect based on human interest. In the different places the artists will meet those small communities, like villagers, farmers and other locals. The artists are also intending to cooperate and produce together with local communities whom they deem valuable for the artistic exchange.
CULTURAL OBJECTIVES
The project will active contribute to a positive self-awareness of people living in external areas in Europe through the active participation of artists with different cultural background. It will also contribute to more knowledge of these areas.
With the different backgrounds and all the different influences of every specific place, the outcome of the project will show the uniqueness of the selected locations and the process of changing of the artists. The challenging conditions will improve new and experimental forms of art production that can be documented and published.
