Syndicate: call for mediterranean art for BLUE STAGE, Berlin |
Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2001 21:55:56 +0100 From: Brigitte Heilmann <heilmann@hkw.de> Subject: Re: BLUE STAGE BLUE STAGE THE HOUSE OF WORLD CULTURES The House of World Cultures was founded in 1989 in Berlin as a forum for a continuous dialogue between western and non-western cultures. Concentrated on contemporary cultures the House of World Cultures is a podium of all art genres: music, dance, theatre, art, film and literature. By interdisciplinary combination of these different forms of presentation the House of World Cultures enables a multi-faceted view on other cultures and people. The Mediterranean has always been in the focus of the work of the House of World Cultures (nine conferences concentrating on the cultural exchange with the Mediterranean since 1990, combined programme of Mediterranean cultures October 1995 - March 1996). BLUE STAGE Blue Stage is a multi-media space of knowledge and experiences. It will be installed in the House of World Cultures in an area encompassing 60 square metres in august 2001 and will be shown until end of september 2001. The focus of Blue Stage lies on the up-to-date conveying of knowledge about other cultures using newest technology application. Pictures and film, text and sound information as well as lighting effects are united in one room and conveyed in real time via all senses. Blue Stage is open for everybody. Special knowledge is not required. Instead of offering a mere flood of data the information of Blue Stage is structured and individually retrievable. Blue Stage is realized in cooperation with two European institutions, the Festival International Montpellier Danse and the Danish Center for Culture and Development in Copenhagen, and supported by the European Union. MEDITERRENEAN INFORMATION CENTRE Blue Stage wants to value the contemporary arts scene of the Mediterranean region. The aim is to give new perspectives of the South of Europe and its neighbours. Blue Stage will replace any tourist approaches with a panoramic view on the richness of contemporary art production in the Mediterranean. The installation will represent the most interesting and exciting artists, developments, initiatives, institutions and festivals in the Mediterranean by images, photographs, music examples and texts. Out from the Mediterranean information centre emerges the second thematic axe of Blue Stage: urbanism. Blue Stage will show how the concept of the city, originating from the Mediterranean, has changed. The shape of cities nowadays is more influenced by migration processes and art and culture than by architectural concepts. COOPERATION Blue Stage retrieves its fascination by the wealth of the integrated material (texts, images, photos, films, music, sounds). To realize the project the House of World Cultures invites all interested individuals and institutions to cooperate. Blue Stage offers the partners a platform in Berlin. Information on their art, their work, and their institution will be integrated in the installation, providing high quality representations to a wide local and international public. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLUE STAGE - European exchanges An interactive multimedia installation Initiator House of World Cultures GmbH, Berlin Partner ArchiMeDes GbR, Berlin (Concept/Design) Omnimedia GmbH, Berlin (Concept/Software) EU-Partner Danish Center for Culture and Development, Copenhagen International Festival Montpellier Danse, Montpellier Venue House of World Cultures John-Foster-Dulles-Allee 10, 10557 Berlin Duration 18.08.01 until 30.09.01 Opening hours: 14.00 - 21.00 Uhr Entrance free Internet http://www.hkw.de/blue-stage/index.html ----- Ende der weitergeleiteten Nachricht ----- -----Syndicate mailinglist-------------------- Syndicate network for media culture and media art information and archive: http://www.v2.nl/syndicate to post to the Syndicate list: <syndicate@eg-r.isp-eg.de> to unsubscribe, write to <majordomo@eg-r.isp-eg.de>, in the body of the msg: unsubscribe syndicate your@email.adress
