Suggestion for an „expedition mapping" / project „Mission Europe"
katjaschaefer, 23:14h
Dear artists,
here comes a first comment from our curator Janek Müller:
The expedition in September will hopefully intensify your inspiration once more. After the symposium, which had a focus on the civil societies of the various countries in south-eastern Europe, we are now about to zoom on the „object of desire".
"Something is only what it is within its border and through its border." wrote the philosopher Friedrich Hegel. Europe as the topic of our art project is just such a „something". The aims of the expedition (Zagreb, Sarajevo, Belgrade and the other places) in the south-eastern parts of this „something" called Europe are especially exciting as they have experienced massive changes and transformations during the past years. These changes also constitute that Europe as a whole is changing and that borders are extended.
With the „expedition mapping" we would like to build a platform on the website www.missioneurope.info <http://www.missioneurope.info/> , some sort of audio-visual gallery. We would therefore like to ask the participants of the expedition to take an active part in the „mapping".
We would suggest that approximately one month after the journey (which means in the beginning of October 2006) we will be able to open the internet-gallery. In this gallery we want you to present your impressions of the journey in small projects: collected passions and sound traces, borderline experiences, surfaces and perspectives of the journey (image, sound and video files). These might become preparations or inputs for new ideas for those projects that will be shown in the exhibition.
We think this would be a great way to exchange personal ideas, experiences, and impressions among the artists, which will surely be a further inspiration to your work.
Your opinions, ideas on this, please! Janek
