Love Difference at Momiano Art Festival in Croatia, 4-8 August 2006
Early in August Marta Tolomelli, Love Difference projects responsible, will present Love Difference’s projects at Visura Aperta festival in Croatia. Visura Aperta is a project involving young international artists in a festival of contemporary art (4-8 August) situated in Momian, on the border of Croatia, Slovenia and Italy.
The idea of the festival is to develop interactions between multifarious art practices and the cultural and social reality specific to the area. The question of open boundaries in different media is translated to that of cultural difference and co habitation (through the use of different materials, disciplines and forms, and interactions with the physical and social environment, the architecture, the city squares , the surrounding countryside).
The festival includes a short workshop/residency Labaratorio where artists are invited to explore ways of relating their practice formally to the social and cultural context of the environment – the problems of insularity and communication, marginalisation and centralisation, issues of compromise, flexibility and openness within social structures. Labaratorio is an opportunity for artists with their own very specific backgrounds and traditions to involve themselves and respond to the microlocality of a different environment. The works produced in the Labaratorio are the result of this reaction to a particular difference. The aim of the Labaratorio is to encourage new forms of practice and experience of difference.
