in 2007, the project is conducted in collaboration with the
European Cultural Exchanges Forum, Macedonian Museum of Contemporary
Art, 1st Biennale of Contemporary Art in Thessalonica, 9th Ephorate of
Byzantine Antiquities, the French Institute, and is supported by Culture
2000 of the European Union, in the context of Artventure network.
The Artistic Director of MMCA, Denis Zacharopoulos is the
curator of
this year's programme of creative residence featuring Greek and foreign
artists.
The autonomous, independent exhibition that will ensue shall be enhanced
by works of art and artists who will be working in the workshop
organized by the Macedonian Museum in Eptapyrgio in the framework of the
1st Biennale of Thessalonica (July 2007).
The artists who will be working in the residency of Action Field Kodra
are: Isabelle Arthuis, Erwan Maheo, Guillaume Durand, Xavier Noiret-Thome,
Robert Suermondt, Christina Kalbari and George Sourmelis.
The theme of the exhibition continues to explore the boundaries that
were also the theme of the past two Artists-in-Residency programmes in
Action Field Kodra.
This year the exhibition addresses issues that are related to language
and linguistic boundaries, both in language itself and art idioms.
Boundaries which become more complex due to the involvement of History,
Cosmopolitanism, Globalization and Internationalization. Additionally,
the artist is invited by means of their work to overcome boundaries,
either geographical or those associated with expression, boundaries
related to memory and everyday life. |
