Pixels
A co-production of Hungarian MTV and Műcsarnok
17 January 2009 - 08 February 2009
Curators: Katalin SPENGER, Zsolt PETRÁNYI
Art is about having an audience. Gallery walls, however, often fall short of this goal when a young audience is to be reached. In the spring of 2008, Hungarian MTV and Műcsarnok launched a joint project to introduce young visual artists – painters, sculptors, photographers – to a broader public, to make young people familiar with the approaches and works of artists who recently started out on their careers. Each week, Pixel Portrait presented an artist, in the form of an illustrated five-minute interview. The thirty-piece series is now available for viewing on the website of MTV, and in December visitors can cast their votes on the most interesting personalities or works of art.
The artists presented in Pixel portraits:
ALBERT Ádám, ASZTALOS Zsolt, BATYKÓ Róbert, BORSOS Lőrinc Lilla, BORSOS Róbert, CZENE Márta, CSEPREGI Balázs, FODOR János, GALBOVY Attila, GYŐRFFY László, HANGAY Enikő, HATHÁZI László, HIDVÉGI Áron, HORVÁTH Dániel, KIRÁLY Gábor, KOKESCH Ádám, KOMLOVSZKY-Szvet Tamás, KOVÁCS Budha Tamás, KUDÁSZ Gábor Arion, OROSZ Klára, ÖTVÖS Zoltán, PÉLI Barna, RÁCZ Márta, RADÁK Eszter, SIPOS Eszter, STARK Attila, SUDÁR Péter, SZABÓ Eszter, TAMÁSI Claudia, TARR Hajnalka

El Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo vuelve a ser la sede principal de la Bienal Internacional de Arte Contemporáneo de Sevilla que también presenta diversas propuestas artísticas en otros espacios de la capital hispalense y de la ciudad de Granada.
En su tercera edición, el objetivo de la Bienal -que tiene como título Youniverse (juego de palabras que hace referencia a la conocida página de internet YouTube, uno de los emblemas de la llamada web 2.0)- es abordar las "relaciones entre arte, ciencia, tecnología, arquitectura y medio ambiente en el contexto global de la sociedad de la información y la comunicación".
El contenido expositivo de Youniverse,donde se quiere dar especial relevancia a la participación directa y activa del público, ha sido diseñado por Peter Weibel (director del Centro para el Arte y la Tecnología-ZKM de Karlsruhe, Alemania), Wonil Rhee (comisario de exposiciones especializado en media-art) y Marie-Ange Brayer (directora del Centro Regional de Arte Contemporáneo-FrAC de Orléans, Francia).

"re.act.feminism - performancekunst der 1960er und 70er jahre heute
13. Dezember bis 8. Februar
Die sich seit den 1960er und 70er Jahren entwickelnde Performancekunst war von Ideen einer gesellschaftlichen Emanzipation durchdrungen und wesentlich von Künstlerinnen geprägt, die dem Feminismus nahestanden. Performancekunst suchte die Verschränkung von Kunst und Leben, von privat und öffentlich. Sie bot ein ideales Medium, um Zuschreibungen von (weiblicher) Identität aufzudecken oder zu unterlaufen und um sich als handelnde Subjekte neu zu erfinden. Performance war zudem als neue Kunstform, jenseits der traditionellen Kunstorte, ein Medium für kollektive und gesellschaftliche Intervention.
re.act.feminism nimmt eine exemplarische Bestandsaufnahme dieser genderkritischen Performancekunst vor und fragt nach ihrem Widerhall in aktuellen künstlerischen Produktionen, in Form von Re-enactments, Wiederaneignungen, Neuformulierungen oder dokumentarischen und archivarischen Projekten. "

Third International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology
Melbourne 26-29 November 2009
Call For Papers – Deadline 19th December 2008
Third International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology.The next iteration of the Media Art History conference is Re:live which is to be held in Melbourne, Victoria in 2009. The event follows the success of the two previous Media Art History conferences, re:fresh (Banff 2005) and re:place (Berlin 2007). The conference series is an initiative of Leonardo/ISAST (International Society for Art, Science and Technology) whose International Advisory Committee will publicise the event and referee papers.
In developing the Re:live conference, we have established a national committee, to promote awareness and interest in the event across Australia. This committee is comprised of individuals who can drive forward these newer connections and reconnect with the ongoing themes established by the ‘re’ conferences. Australia provides an excellent geographic, geopolitical and geocultural space for hosting this conference. It connects regionally with both Asian and Pacific cultures and the ongoing exchange of media arts between, northern and southern hemispheres.
