‘Noise & Silence / Extended presence’ — workshops with Piotr Wach
the art competition within the READY, STEADY, ART! project BWA Contemporary Art Gallery in Katowice announces a call for entries for the art competition within the READY, STEADY, ART! project. Do you have...
As we follow the same route every day, we slowly blend in with the landscape and stop responding to external stimuli.
To prevent this, the BWA Contemporary Art Gallery has launched a year-long project, READY, STEADY, ART!, a series of art events throughout the city of Katowice aiming to creatively animate its inhabitants.
The scope of the project is two-dimensional and includes complementary actions: on the one hand, happenings, performances and events by guest artists, on the other — educational-motivational workshops.
The goal is to create situations that contrast reality, stimulating imagination and encouraging reflection our major concerns: identity, culture, ecology and more. Children, youth and the elderly will be involved in the educational-motivational part of the project. Workshop-like meetings with artists will show them various forms of artistic expression, and engage them in the design and realisation of the projects, thus developing their independent artistic direction.
There will also be a group responsible solely for the photographic documentation of all art events. Its members will have a chance to improve their photography skills during workshops organised throughout the project. All the material realised within this project, such as photos or films, will be uploaded on the BWA Gallery website and on its Facebook profile.
Project READY, STEADY ART! will culminate in an exhibition at the BWA Contemporary Art Gallery, featuring the best photographs and videos; invited guests will include artists and participants in artistic actions.
The following artists and educators have been invited to join the project: Ignacy Czwartos, Monika Goetzendorf-Grabowska, Katarzyna Jankowska and Marta Karalus, Lucilla Kossowska, Paweł Kula, Piotr Lutyński, Krzysztof Morcinek, Maria Parczewska, Paweł Szeibel and Tomasz Wojtasik.
All locals are also invited to take part in a contest for the most interesting artistic action, which will be realised within the project READY STEADY ART! The contest details and guidelines can be found on the BWA Gallery website.
All events in this project are available to the public free of charge.
