07 – International Meeting of Transdisciplinary Arts
Dates: 17 to 30 September 2007
Organization: Binaural (Portugal) and Alg-a (Galicia)
Format: Artistic Residency + Symposium + Itinerant Exhibition
Open call for artistic projects : from 11 May to 22 June 2007
The central theme for the open call will be the concept of border (“fronteira”) in all its possible variants, a reflection on its multiple interpretations with a focus not only on the physical / geographical borders but also on their dissolution in ideological, cultural, virtual, and ability borders.
The artists can freely choose their artistic languages and tools (audio, video, performance, installation, intermedia, etc.).
This event will comprise a program of artistic residencies in Galicia and Portugal. Two simultaneous residencies will take place, one in Nodar (a small rural village in Portugal) and another on the outskirts of Pontevedra (Galicia).
Several artists from different origins and backgrounds will gather during 10 days on each residency space for the development of artistic projects in close connection with social thinkers who will hold a critique observatory during the same period.
As a result of the work produced during the residencies, a final presentation of the developed projects will take place in the form of an itinerant exhibition, starting in Pontevedra and ending in Portugal.
A parallel round of conferences and audiovisual artistic talks related to the proposed theme will also take place.
