The concept of this exhibition is to make a critical revision of today�s proposals on electronic arts made in Latin America taking a completely new way to look at its creative processes by defining it in more global ways. These means that this exhibition will not be seen as the exhibition of the �other�, but as a way that will allow the public to do an analysis of their reality in contrast to other realities using similar communicational aesthetics and languages, but in different contexts. In addition to the focus of NUEVA / VISTA on Peruvian video art, the exhibition also introduces other interesting artists from South-America, which also define their works in a more globalistic new view of the 21st-century Latin America. The artists selected on this exhibition include: Angie Bonino, Iv�n Esquivel, Eduardo Villanes, Alvaro Zavala (Peru); Andr�s Burbano (Colombia); Ximena Cuevas (Mexico); Edgar Endress (Chile); K�tia Lund (Brazil) and Gustavo Romano (Argentina). The exhibition will take place at the ifa Galleries (Bonn, Berlin and Stuttgart) starting on the 11 of September 2002 until 1st of June 2003. ifa-Galerie Bonn, Willy-Brandt-Allee 9, 53113 Bonn 11 September to 27 October 2002 Opening: 10.

In sweden it is election times. Wellcome to a project created by a:t (association for temporary art) The venue is Kulturhuset in Stockholm.(http.//publicopinion.nu) An exhibition on control of our minds. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Control of our minds becomes ever more repressive.

Public opinion is the title of this exhibition in which we try to describe how public discussion is formed. The various works included treat such questions as the extent to which the media fulfill their task as transparent sources of information and opinion and the space given to the individual in forming her or his own opinion. For more information contact [email protected]. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- participants: WochenKlausur The Austrian group of artists known as WochenKlausur has been working with social interventions since 1993.

The group then studies the actual site and comes with a proposal for a larger or smaller change of the social and political situation as well as a plan for carrying it out. In Stockholm the designer Liv Fjellander and the artist Erik Rosshagen participate in WochenKlausur�s activities.

The conference offers various perspectives on electronic art, providing an overview of artistic, design and coordination considerations when working with public space. The program will delve into all aspects of the processes involved - from artist idea to maintaining the finished work. Artists from the electronic art milieu will share their ideas and thoughts about their field, and conference participants will be introduced to the broad range of creative solutions that such works and installations offer. In order to provide a context for this broad presentation of projects, the conference will also examine the concept and status of the field of electronic art from several theoretical perspectives. The in-depth program reflects the interests of many professions, including architects, developers, politicians, clients, artists, curators and theoreticians. A large number of nationally and internationally acclaimed electronic artworks that have been installed in public spaces will be presented. Seeing and experiencing works and production studios first hand will allow participants to become familiar with the potential of this exciting art genre, as well as with the artists and concepts that lie behind it. Topics will include: - - defining the public space, past and present, as a venue for art - - electronic art as a contemporary art form - - characteristics of electronic art media (light, sound, text) - - electronic art as a cross-disciplinary practice - - the respective views of artist, contractor, client and architect - - practical considerations for electronic art installations - - requirements for solid technical solutions, quality and maintenance - - production capabilities for electronic art: funding and workshops in Norway The conference will be thoroughly documented, and a collection of texts and images will be published after the conference. - ----- Please contact [email protected] with any questions you might have.
