connects seven European cities from Berlin to Yerevan through
cultural exchange and cooperation between seven institutions
working in the field of contemporary art.
During the preview days
of the 54th Venice Biennial the ATLANTIS network will be presented
through the exhibition ATLANTIS '11 and a series of panel
discussions all focusing on the theme of “Power and contemporary
art”.
The ATLANTIS '11 event
is organized as part of the HEICO project - Heritage, Identity and
Communication in European Contemporary Art Practices, which aims
to promote the cultural reflection of the identity in the
countries involved in the partnership. The further development of
the of the Atlantis project is planed as series of workshops and
conferences hosted by the participating countries as well as
through artists exchange residency programs in Plovdiv (Bulgaria),
Yerevan (Armenia), Tbilisi (Georgia), Bratislava (Slovak Republic)
and Chisinau (Moldova).
From 1 to 5 June, the
ATLANTIS '11 exhibition at the Collegio Armeno Moorat-Raphael,
Palazzo Zenobio, will work as a platform for presentation and
discussion of projects originating in these countries. As partners
in the ATLANTIS network, the guest curators Emil Mirazchiev and
Jakob Racek invited the artists collective R.E.P. (Kiev) to
produce a work especially for this occasion. The artists will show
the video documentation of their performance "A place, where we
won´t be again (Tresene)". The performance recreates the story of
the Bulgarian (non)presence at the Venice Biennial as folklore,
sang by a traditional Bulgarian folk singer.
Art Today Association,
Plovdiv, Bulgaria, invited The Bulgarian Pavilion (www.bulgarianpavilion.org)
initiative to be presented in Venice. It proposes an alternative
for Bulgaria’s sporadical presence in The Venice Biennial by
creating a critical platform for diverse artistic activities. The
project envisages the pavilion as a symbolic, ephemeral or movable
structure and questions the historical relationship between art
and power, national representation and international art.
Please join the panel
discussion "Good Governance? Bad Curating!" on 2 June with the
initiators of The Bulgarian Pavilion - Dessislava Dimova,
Svetlana Kuyumdzhieva, Vera Mlechevska and Vessela Nozharova.
