IGVFest"The IGVFest is a mobile festival integrating video art with the urban and social environment. The festival removes the technologically complex medium of video out of the institutional situation re-positioning it as open and reflexive in the public domain. The artworks have site-specific thematic relations to the space where they are shown, engaging and reflecting upon the unique architectural, historical, and interpersonal context of each area the festival travels to."

Fountain was launched in March 2006 in New York in an effort to leverage support for independent galleries overlooked by the larger, corporate-sponsored art fairs. The name "Fountain" is a nod to Marcel Duchamp's controversial sculpture which shook up the art world when it was rejected by the Society of Artists' exhibition in 1917. Similarly, in defiant contrast with The Armory Show, Art Basel Miami Beach, Pulse, Scope and the numerous other international art fairs, Fountain has received wide public support and critical acclaim for its experimental slant. In form and spirit, the artwork exhibited at Fountain reflects the avant-garde attitude of the Dada art movement, while attracting the attention of the international clientele and top collectors who attend the more traditional fairs.
Fountain Art Fair Vancouver New Music Festival"An international festival of virtuoso performances and extended techniques.

STATION ROSE open source, open knowledge, open world"open source, open knowledge, open world"
12. November - 2. December 2008
What roles do copyrights and intellectual property rights play in the age of mobile communication and wireless networks? How does society deal with knowledge in the Internet? Today’s “digital communities” give us the answer: No matter whether their background is mainly social or rather of an artistic nature, such communities promote societal developments.
The exhibition “open source, open knowledge, open world” puts the spotlight on digital communities which have the potential to broaden and recreate our understanding of the world. The phenomena presented focus on the creation and sharing of knowledge – beyond the boundaries of copyrights and the interests of private enterprise.
FALLEN FRUIT
by David Burns, Matias Viegener, Austin Young
http://www.fallenfruit.org
“Fallen Fruit” examines the questions of urban spaces and new forms of locally based communities. The artists undertake all their investigations from the perspective of fruit, which interests them because of its simplicity and its social
value. Fruit is as democratic as culture – and totally independent of social classes.

Performances at the opening by Omer Krieger (IL), Bas Boettcher (DE) and Blaxtar (NL)
Speaking Out Loud centers on the processes of both “thinking out loud” and “speaking out.” Thinking out loud describes the associative, dynamic and rather uncontrolled process of simultaneously thinking and speaking about a particular topic. We think out loud to make a suggestion, to put forward an idea or a thought rather than to make a claim. Speaking Out Loud advocates this free and creative process of thinking out loud through artworks that enable a playful and surprising experience of language. This happens in the form of what could be summarised as experimental language exercises or canny transformations and alternations of language.
Meanwhile the act of speaking out demonstrates resistance and the existence of alternative concepts and views. As a democratic act it constitutes a cornerstone of democratic society. In that sense, the exhibition promotes the idea of controversy, dissent and debate as a relevant society shaping strategy. In the light of representative democracies, low voter participation and increasingly levelled concepts of life, Speaking Out Loud attempts to call for taking an active role in the debate. Moreover it explores the subversive power of spoken or written text but also unmasks the inflationary and culturally connoted use of words and phrases.
The artworks in the exhibition deal with the act of speaking, reading and writing. They particularly reflect on and emphasise the performative qualities of language and thus reveal the strong and inseparable connection between words' meaning and their performance/performer.
Renowned novelist Paul Auster captured the act of speaking as “When words come out, fly into the air, live for a moment, and die. Strange, is it not?” It is this fluidity and dynamics of language and its meaning that the exhibition centers on, observes and reflects.
In this fluid state, words fly and dance, thus enabling a mental dialogue between the artwork and its viewer/listener, and opening up to continuous interpretation.
The exhibition mainly presents works of Dutch and English language. Thereby it also reflects on a world in which vast distances are bridged with relative facility but where language remains a system of cultural “multivalence.”
http://www.nimk.nl/nl/ Controlled Accidents"Controlled Accidents tries to explore new investigation and creation fields related to the body and their decodings in the contemporary society, from premises of how to rethink the body in an epoch in which the techno-scientific advances and the social theories and postmodern communications have generated discourses and conceptualizations of corporal issue, which although they denote it as something material are more interested in its dematerialisation, however the body as nearby element and potentializer of our realities continues being the most important device of our experience."

Nella nostra epoca, le persone hanno a disposizione tempo, informazioni, strumenti e metodi per realizzare idee. Grandi idee. Soprattutto quando nascono dalla condivisione e dalla disponibilità di chi, con contributi anche piccolissimi, realizza progetti complessi come Wikipedia. Con lo stesso spirito, vogliamo provare a creare nuove narrazioni sui percorsi che possiamo intraprendere.
