Call for Artists: BorderBody - Poland, October 2013Photography / Video Art / Computer Graphics / Architecture / Installation / Performing ArtEXTENDED DEADLINE: September 18, 2013
International ArtExpo is selecting all interesting photo works, video/short films, computer graphics works, architecture projects, installations and performances to include in the next 2013 Exhibition:
BorderBody | Mixing Cities and Identities - photography, video-art, computer graphics, architecture, installation and performing-art held in Gdynia (Poland) at Gdynia InfoBox - Observatory of Changes, from the 4th to the 18th October 2013.
Opening: October 4th, 2013 at Gdynia InfoBox - Observatory of Changes, in Gdynia (Poland)
Extended deadline for applications is September 18th, 2013.
“BorderBody” festival is composed by two sections: “Mixing Cities”, which deals with modern urban changes and their influence on citizens, and “Mixing Identities” focused on the hybridization of social identities in contemporary time. The selection will be based on the main concept of fluidity, motion, changing networks and cities transformations. In contemporary society boundaries are getting more and more fleeting, and also the identity; what makes every person or place a recognizable entity, turns out fluid, multiple, making the cultural, religious, ethnic borders changeable too. This change, this mutation has allowed to cross the inside of the identities creating new possible crossings, new blends. And it’s just this “contemporaneity” that makes our civilization conceived as subjected to a process of continuous evolution and cultural hybridization. There is no more limit between an identity and the other one but it is possible to walk, to cross a passage and to find oneself halfway through it, in a non-place, in a non-identity. People, backgrounds, societies, progress and all their inputs creates hybrid identities, modifying each other and being mixed in prospect to shape a better world. Mixing sustainable transport; modern (ICT) communication infrastructure; sustainable economic development; and wise management of natural resources, human, intellectual and social capital, is the key to reach a future better life quality. Changes are always positive and represent our future.
Gdynia InfoBox is a place of interest due to its remarkable architecture and also as a source of information on new projects in town provided in an interesting multi-medial and fascinating form. Gdynia InfoBox is a place where both the local community and tourists can have a good time in a coffee place with a terrace, or resting on a bench in the shade of the trees.
The event is open to photography, video art, computer graphics, architecture, installation and performing art.

The Fifth Edition of Armory Focus Will Showcase the Strength and Diversity of Contemporary Art in China

Appointed Curator of Armory Focus: China
The Fifth Edition of Armory Focus Will Showcase the Strength and Diversity of Contemporary Art in China

| NEW YORK - Armory Focus, the curated section of The Armory Show, highlights the gallery and artistic landscape of a chosen geographic region. For the 2014 edition of the Fair, Philip Tinari, Director of The Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing, will curate Armory Focus: China, shining new light on the country’s contemporary cultural practice. In recognition of the dynamism of the Chinese art scene, The Armory Show will present an exciting selection of contemporary Chinese galleries, providing a forum for an ever-expanding international conversation at the fair. On lending his curatorial vision to the project Philip Tinari notes that, “China is central to the makeup of the world system today in ways that are well understood on the level of geopolitics but have not yet been fully elaborated in the realm of culture. The wave of national surveys—the so-called "China Shows"—that introduced the first generation of Chinese artists to New York has come and gone, leaving even a decade later an aftertaste of gaudy, symbolic, often derivative work. This persistent memory clouds efforts by individual actors to illuminate the dynamism, seriousness, and originality of the Chinese art scene and system today. This section aims to change that.” Noah Horowitz, Executive Director of The Armory Show states, “Just as Focus: China hopes to showcase the strength and diversity of players who now make up the country’s cultural scene it also seeks to complicate and destabilize prevailing Western notions about its artistic situation. The project ultimately aims to demonstrate that China is not just a site for great new art, but a place where current art world models are being made and remade, and where serious collecting is happening at an ever larger scale. We are honored to collaborate with such a visionary curator as Philip on this project and look forward to presenting the results of his extensive efforts at the fair next March.” Aiming to showcase the diversity of both artistic production and the art system in China, the section will include curated presentations by some twenty artists coming from diverse generational and regional backgrounds, ranging from the "Stars" generation of the late 1970s through the booming post-Mao generation born after 1975. A program of talks will elaborate some of the key issues for contemporary art in China today, from the development of the institutional infrastructure to the ongoing diversification of the Chinese market. The Armory Show is New York’s leading fair for modern and contemporary art. A seminal event in the annual New York arts calendar, the fair spearheads Armory Arts Week, a city-wide program of cultural events and exhibitions. The Armory Show 2014 will again feature an acclaimed VIP program, a lively opening night party at the Museum of Modern Art and the engaging Open Forum discussion series. Next year’s fair will also coincide with the opening of the 2014 Whitney Biennial in early March, further enhancing the line-up of Armory Arts Week events planned in partnership with New York’s cultural institutions, and attracting a wide scope of international collectors, curators, scholars, and press. NOTES TO EDITOR About the Armory Focus Curator Philip Tinari is director of the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing. There he oversees an exhibition program devoted to established figures and rising talents both Chinese and international, aimed at UCCA's annual public of more than half a million visitors. Prior to joining UCCA he was editor-in-chief of LEAP, the international art magazine of contemporary China, which he founded and ran from 2009 to 2011. He has worked as China representative for Art Basel, contributing editor to Artforum, and lecturer in art criticism at the China Central Academy of Fine Arts. Tinari, who speaks fluent Mandarin, holds degrees from Duke and Harvard, and was a Fulbright fellow at Peking University. About The Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA) The Ullens Center for Contemporary Art is an independent, not-for-profit art center serving a global Beijing public.
