Instant

Instant, instant by Peter Koštrun

Our dear friend and one of the artists we featured in Kontejner #6, Peter Koštrun, is opening his solo exhibition with the title "Instant, instant" today in the gallery of Klovicevi dvori in Zagreb. This time around he will put on display a serious of polaroids of landscapes and details that catch his attention while walking through life. His photos are telling us stories about coincidents, loneliness, paradox and natural composition, but some remain unclear and untold. Those tell the story only to the author, but get our attention with their shear beauty.
The grand opening is, as said, today at 19 hours and the photos will stay on display till 1st of July.
For those that have never been to the gallery, here is the address:
Kula Lotrscak, Strossmayerovo setaliste 9, Zagreb.

Okrajno sodišče v Murski Soboti je za 18. junij 2009 ponovno razpisalo dražbo nepremičnin Art središča, prvega koncipiranega rezidenčnega umetniškega središča v Sloveniji!

(http://artcenter.co.nr/izjava_eng.php - english version)
SE LAHKO PRIDRUŽITE IZJAVI PODPORE.

S preklicem oz. odlogom dražbe razpisane za 22. februar, kar je bila posledica zaključkov usklajevalnega sestanka pristojnih ministrstev za kulturo; šolstvo; Službe vlade za lokalno samoupravo in regionalno politiko (SVLR) se je odprla možnost dokončne rešitve kreditnega dolga, ki bremeni Art središče. Vendar se je zaradi nadaljnje neodzivnosti pristojnih, z izjemo Urada za mladino ter deloma tudi SVLR, proces reševanja kreditnega dolga zaustavil. Zaradi tega razvojnemu in umetniškemu središču ponovno grozi prekinitev vseh dejavnosti. oz. propad.
Zato prosimo in pozivamo vse, ki podpirate Art središče kot prostor svobodnega ustvarjanja ter žarišče revitalizacije na zapostavljenem severovzhodu Slovenije, da se pridružite pritisku na pristojne vladne službe (Ministrstvo za kulturo (MK), Ministrstvo za šolstvo in šport (MŠŠ), Ministrstvo za visoko šolstvo znanost in tehnologijo (MVŠZT), SVLR ter predsednika vlade), da preprečijo dražbo ter Art središču končno omogočijo nemoten obstoj.

Rob and Christian Clayton: Inside Out
NEW EXHIBITION DATE
September 10– December 19, 2010

The Madison Museum of Contemporary Art will present the first major museum exhibition dedicated to the bold, colorful drawings, paintings, and sculptures of Rob and Christian Clayton. The Clayton Brothers work together closely to construct objects that are both narrative and deeply personal. Front and center are the unique people, animals, and places that occupy the outskirts of the American psyche. These works are created in an obsessively rich, cartoon-inspired manner and often incorporate related audio elements.

30 Customs - 30 Artists - Children of Cambodia

“30 Customs By 30 Artists:
An Auction to benefit the Children of Cambodia”

“30 Customs By 30 Artists: An Auction to benefit the Children of Cambodia is the first step in trying to help the children that have impacted my life,” writes Kidrobot’s Baroness Nichole. “After traveling to Cambodia last year I fell in love with the people of that country. Everyday I think about the amazing children I met and how I could help them.” So she reached out to 30 artist friends (like Alex Pardee, Tara McPherson, Tim Biskup, Andrew Bell, and others) and asked them to create a custom toy specifically for an auction.

FF600

Letošnji 5. Festival kratkega filma FF600 bo potekal 28. in 29. maja 2009.

Rok za oddajo del je 30. april 2009.

Za več informacij si oglejte pogoje sodelovanja ali pišite na e-naslov:info@festival600.org
Glavni cilj Festivala kratkega filma FF600 je predstaviti dela obetavnih mladih ustvarjalcev javnosti in poklicnim filmskim ustvarjalcem.
Program FF600 je razdeljen na 6 kategorij:
•animirani filmi,
•videospoti,
•enominutni filmi,
•eksperimentalni filmi,
•kratki igrani filmi in
•dokumentarni filmi.
Prijavljena dela se v posamezni kategoriji potegujejo za nagrado žirije. Žirija, ki jo sestavljajo trije poklicni filmski ustvarjalci, od katerih vsak deluje na drugem področju filmskega ustvarjanja, nagradi najboljše delo v kategoriji.
Festival ni posvečen določeni temi. Ustvarjalci lahko pošljejo dela, ki obravnavajo katero koli temo, edini omejitvi pa sta dolžina, ki ne sme presegati 20 minut, in leto izdelave.

Tako program festivala omogoča vpogled v tekočo produkcijo kratkih filmov in v teme, ki se zdijo zanimive avtorjem.

Protest Graffiti Mexico: Oaxaca

In October 2006, Mexican state police opened fire on protestors and media outlets in Oaxaca, killing several people. The violence focused the world spotlight on the initial problem: local teachers’ demands for better pay and working conditions.

The latest from Mark Batty, Protest Graffiti Mexico: Oaxaca, chronicles the public unrest and violent protests that occurred in the Mexican city of Oaxaca in 2006, and the movement of protest graffiti for social justice that emerged from the mayhem.

Together, journalist Louis E. V. Navaer and photographer Elaine Sendyk illuminate the clash between teachers, unions, government officials and citizens during this tense time.

V petek, 20.03.2009, se bo med poplavo »slovenskih« metal veselic, v Gala Hali na Metelkovi, odvil edinstven praznik slovenskega metala.
Koncert je nekaj posebnega, saj ga bendi organizirajo sami. Na tem Thrash'n'Heavy festivalu bodo nastopi veliki povratniki na slovenski heavy metal sceni Lene Kosti, thrash metal veterani Sarcasm, graveyard metal legende Interceptor in naš najbolj vroč heavy metal bend MetalSteel.
Ta dan se bodo vaša srca združeno utelesila v eno samo neuničljivo, mogočno in rušilno moč. Tresla se bo zemlja in odprlo se bo nebo »Metal United … Nu-religion«.
Karte "v predprodaji 8€" lahko kupite pri bendih, ali pa jih rezervirate na http://www.galahala.com/ Na dan koncerta bo cena 10€. Zaradi novih varnostnih ukrepov države, bo na razpolago manjše število kart.
