Red Dot - ‘Migration’ – group exhibition
@ Contemporary Urban Centre, Liverpool

Liverpool visual arts organisation, Red Dot are staging an exhibition over the Christmas and New Year period on the theme of migration.
It will take place in the Connolly Gallery in the impressive setting of the Contemporary Urban Centre building based on Greenland Street in the Baltic Triangle area of Liverpool.
Over 20 members of Red Dot will present many diverse themes and aspects of migration through painting, photography, multi-media installations, sound installations, lighting installations and sculpture.
These themes and aspects of migration will be related, among others, to the movement of people across land boundaries due to war or famine; the plight of refugees or asylum seekers who have had to flee their country of origin as a result of state oppression: the mass movement of people to another land on a permanent basis, for example, the Irish to the Americas; and the passage of animals, fish, insects and birds from one region to another for feeding or breeding purposes.
Artists taking part are Jane Fairhurst, Alison Bailey Smith, Sue Milburn, Colin Serjent, Susan Sharples, Christine Wilson, Eimear Kavanagh, Leon Jakeman, Nathan Pendlebury, Richard Ashworth, Barbara Jones, Wendy Williams, Louise Waller, Alice Lenkiewicz, Michelle Hird, Neil Winterburn, John O’Neill, Carl Fletcher, Jon Nash, Pui Lee and Alan Mckernan, Nicole Bartos.
‘Migration’ runs from 12 December until 9 January.

The exhibition presents the works of contemporary artists who work in a territory where aesthetic expression is conditioned, in various ways and measures, by a manifold range of visual language. The contamination that results is expressed through the use of various media: painting, sculpture, photography, video, and the use of new technology…
One on the aspects that emerges in this selection of artists is the widespread use of digital technologies (digital art), which is part of ‘new media’, and which is utilized autonomously, or as is often the case, integrated with other forms of expression.
It must also be highlighted that ‘traditional’ media like painting and sculpture, has not remained immune from widespread innovation in technique-technological changes that have occurred in contemporary society. In fact, they have often undergone a metamorphosis, and in the best examples, have produced something that is profoundly influenced by these new technological languages (cinema, television, video, internet and the complex world of the web) that have sparked new and interesting combinations. All this has brought about a new expressive synthesis which, on one hand can create certain disorientation for the art-going public, on the other hand through the multiplicity of its connections, has increased the expressive possibility of the media artistically, and so reflect upon the complexity of the contemporary world.
This exhibition at Studio.ra |1Fmediaproject, is a reflection on this situation and was the criteria for the selection of the artists in the exhibition, who work with different languages, showing an authentic and unique way to consider ‘the contemporary’ and interpret the notion of contamination.

Proiezioni video di:
Hervé Constant ‘The Inquisition’ based on a short story by Dino Buzzati.
Andrew Rutt ‘ecce uomo’. Video Loop, 2008.
La mostra si propone di presentare le opere di diversi artisti contemporanei che operano in un territorio nel quale l’espressione estetica è condizionata, in vario modo e misura, dai molteplici linguaggi visivi. La contaminazione che ne deriva è da loro espressa attraverso l’uso delle tecniche più varie: pittura, scultura, ma anche fotografia, video, e ausilio di nuove tecnologie…
Proprio uno degli aspetti che emerge, in questa selezione di artisti, è il diffuso utilizzo di tecniche digitali (digital art) che fanno parte dei “nuovi media”. Questi vengono adottati sia autonomamente, sia, spesso, interagenti con altri linguaggi.
Va anche sottolineato che le tecniche “tradizionali” come la pittura e la scultura, non sono restate indenni dai cambiamenti epocali che le innovazioni tecnico-tecnologiche diffuse hanno portato nella società contemporanea; infatti, hanno spesso e quasi tutte subito una qualche metamorfosi; nei casi migliori, ne sono uscite profondamente influenzate da questi nuovi linguaggi tecnologici (cinema, televisione, video, Internet e mondo complesso della Rete) che hanno innescato nuove interessanti combinazioni. Tutto ciò ha comportato nuove sintesi espressive che, se da un lato possono creare un certo disorientamento nel pubblico cosiddetto comune, dall’altro, attraverso il moltiplicarsi di connessioni, ampliano le possibilità espressive dei media artistici che riflettono la complessità del mondo contemporaneo.
Una mostra, quella allo Studio.ra |1Fmediaproject, che si pone come riflessione su questi dati e indica le scelte di artisti che operano con linguaggi differenti, mostrando un’autenticità singolare nel modo di pensare il contemporaneo e di interpretare la nozione di contaminazione.

“Traces: Contemporary Romanian Art Exhibits at Ringling's Selby Gallery”

@Ringling's Selby Gallery, Sarasota

Romanian exhibition.
Two notices on campus about the exhibition:

Romanian Artifacts on Display

In conjunction with the Selby Gallery exhibit "Traces: Contemporary Romanian Art," Kimbrough Library has a display of Romanian artifacts and travel memorabilia on loan from Dr. Ann Albritton / Liberal Arts. She worked with the CEP (Civic Education Project) Romania in Bucharest from 1993-1995. One highlight of her work there was a trip she organized with a French colleague, Sylvie Moreau, to travel with 36 Romanian art/art history students and two professors from Bucharest to Paris in 1995. Romanian artifacts as well as handmade postcards sent to Dr. Albritton in appreciation of the event will be on display in the library until December 16, 2008.

Traces: Contemporary Romanian Art Exhibits at Ringling's Selby Gallery



November 3, 2008 - Ringling College of Art and Design and Selby Gallery is proud to present Traces: Contemporary Romanian Art. This exhibit will run from November 14 - December 16, 2008 in the Selby Gallery on the Ringling College campus.

There will be several events associated with this exhibit:
• Artist Reception and Panel Discussion - Thursday, November 13th at 5:30 p.m. followed by a panel discussion at 7 p.m. featuring Gabriela Boiangiu, Emanuel Borcescu and Delia Popa.
• Opening Reception - Friday, November 14, 2008 from 5 - 7 pm.
• Director's Tour - Monday, November 17 at 11:30 a.m. with curator Dr. Ann Albritton.
Traces: Contemporary Romanian Art presents sixteen young Romanian artists who—sometimes straightforwardly and often ironically—explore issues of culture as well as gender through a variety of work: photography, videos, hand sewn projects, small objects, and paintings. Unlike the previous generation that worked under the starkly repressive dictatorship of Nicolae Ceausescu, they have traveled more outside Romania and many exhibit throughout Europe. Representing this new generation are: Ana Banica, Gabriela Boiangiu, Rozalinda Borcila, Emanuel Borcescu, Care Cutare, Gorzo, Suzana Dan, Cosmin Paulescu, Mirela Ivanciu, Stela Lie, Ioana Marinescu, Aurelia Mihai, Gili Mocanu, Vlad Nanca, Lila Passima, and Delia Popa.

The exhibition first traveled to CIAC Gallery in Pont Aven, France, July 12 to August 14, 2008; to the Robert Else Gallery, Sacramento State University, Sacramento, CA from Sept. 2 to Oct. 15, 2008; and now to the Selby Gallery, Sarasota, from Nov. 14 to Dec. 16, 2008. It will then return to Romania to be shown in the National University Fine Arts Gallery in Bucharest, March 10-24, 2009. For two years, between 1993 and 1995, Ann Albritton, Ringling College of Art and Design, taught modern and contemporary art history at the Grigorescu Academy of Art (now the National University of Fine Arts) in Bucharest, Romania. Visiting Bucharest again in 2006, Albritton suggested to two former students, Mirela Ivanciu and Carmen Iovitu, that they collaborate on an exhibition featuring young Romanian artists that would travel to France and the U. S. Elaine O’Brien, art historian at Sacramento State University and writer on global art history, had visited in Romania in 1995 and joined the other curators.

Traces: Contemporary Romanian Art is sponsored in part by the Romanian Cultural Institute, New York and the Tourist Development Tax through the Board of Sarasota County Commissioners, the Tourist Development Council and The Sarasota County Arts Council. With a special thanks to H’Art Gallery, Bucharest, Romania.

Works by Emanuel Borcescu, Gabriela Boiangiu, and Delia Popa - all of whom will be at the artist reception and exhibit opening reception.

WATERMARKS VIRTUAL EXHIBITION OPENING



http://www.uavm.net/english/exhibits/fonlad.html

http://www.uavm.net/english/exhibits/watermarks/watermarks.html

The watermark, more than a name, symbol or signature of the artist, is a process underlying copyright. With the mass proliferation of images over the internet (apparently in an uncontrollable unruly manner) the watermark seems to bring means to an artistic form of protection.
Apparently nothing can prevent the copying of images on the net. Even protected software (such as Flash, which prevents copying) can always be bypassed with the print-screen of the page.
But the found ways to curb hacking (with blurred images and watermarks) only remove an essential component to the image: the authenticity.
This brings to the images a second level: more than the status of works of art, watermarks brings virtuality to them.
The watermark explains that what you see is not genuine. And so no longer interesting.
But the watermark can be artistic. The UAVM Virtual Museum presents 10 works of 10 artists who have focused on this issue: Chia (Taiwan), Gianny Sutera (IT), Gruppo Sinestético (IT), Henry Gwiazda (USA), Ida Julsen (Norway), Joseph Jinson (India), Mike Davies (UK), Rui Fonseca (BR), Sarah Boothroyd (Canada), Sebastien Seifert (Spain).

Digital watermarking is the process of embedding information into a digital signal. The signal may be audio, pictures or video, for example. If the signal is copied, then the information is also carried in the copy.
In visible watermarking, the information is visible in the picture or video. Typically, the information is text or a logo which identifies the owner of the media. When a television broadcaster adds its logo to the corner of transmitted video, this is also a visible watermark.
In invisible watermarking, information is added as digital data to audio, picture or video, but it cannot be perceived as such. An important application of invisible watermarking is to copyright protection systems, which are intended to prevent or deter unauthorized copying of digital media. Steganography is an application of digital watermarking, where two parties communicate a secret message embedded in the digital signal. Annotation of digital photographs with descriptive information is another application of invisible watermarking.

While some file formats for digital media can contain additional information called metadata, digital watermarking is distinct in that the data is carried in the signal itself.
The use of the word of watermarking is derived from the much older notion of placing a visible watermark on paper.
(in Wikipedia )

The Unknown Artist Virtual Museum (UAVM) presents the FONLAD festival, promoted by the AAA-ARCA-EUAC Association and IC-zero Association in November 08. The program Festival has a exhibition at the Madeira's Biennale (1 Sept. - 13 Oct. 08) and two on line exhibitions: in the site's festival (1 to 30 November 08) and the Watermarks exhibition at the UAVM (3 Oct. 08 to 3 Jan. 09).
