Web site : www.garonne-rio loco.org Subject : Visual Art selection for Festival Rio Loco 2008 For its 13th edition, the music festival ¡Río Loco!, organised by the local authority of Toulouse will invite ?The Danube? (Slovaquia, Hongary, Croatia, Serbie, Roumania and Bulgarie) in the last few days of June 2008. The Festival ¡Río Loco! is a popular, friendly and festive event. For twelve years, it has been aiming to make known the different cultural expressions from countries or regions of the world, by proposing an original programming (mainly music, plastic arts and cinema). The organising committee of the festival is keen to make it accessible to anybody, offering the unique and cheap price : 5 ?. This event brings together around 150 000 spectators and more than 100 artists during several days with open air concerts. Midnight cinema sessions and plastic installations inside the urban area complete the artistic programming offered. Moreover, the festival collaborates with the cultural structures of the town and organises other events which allow people to get a global view on the culture of the invited country, through literature, cinema and video, gastronomy, dance and theatre. ¡Río Loco! is recognised by the important media such as France3 Sud, Libération, France Musique, Telerama who collaborate with the 2006 edition, and it benefits from a national and European influence. The choice of the music groups is fully representative of the contemporary eclectic and original music creations, and is seeking to make people aware of the relationship between tradition and modernity. It aims to make people discover the ?Danubian? musical landscape and its cultural expression in order to stray from the beaten tracks. Then, the music festival ¡Río Loco!, invites visual artists who represents actual contemporany creation: The aim is to make the audience sensitive to the culture of the Balkan countries. We?re looking for artists in order to realize the ?welcoming tower? of the Rio Loco Festival. The project must combine traditional cultural elements with modern artistic works. The dimensions of the tower are the following : - 11 meters high - 20 meters width The surface area is 500m². Besides, the festival is looking for same painters and graphists in order to realize the poster of the 2008?s edition. Furthermore other artists in the field of visual art (photographer, sculptor, paintoer...) are invinted to present their works in different location of the city of Toulouse (art gallery, socicultural center...). If you are interested by this project, please send us some material (pictures, catalogue...). If you do not have any suitable artist, could you please forward this message to your collaborators. We hope this project will interest you and we would be pleased to give you more detailed information if you require it. Don?t hesitate to get in touch with me if you need.
