WHAT IF … THE TOWER WAS BUILT FROM COLLAGE LAYERS?
Škrlovec Tower
5. 7. – 14. 8. 2018
A considerable part of the festival is dedicated to the exhibition in the Škrlovec Tower, where the artists chosen for the international open call intituled “What if…” will be presented. By the 12 th of May 222 artists using collage techniques in their work applied. The participation is international; the works are up to three years old. Therefore, the exhibition will highlight the heterogeneity typical of the contemporary collage and of contemporary visual production in a broader international region in general. The installation will take into account the formal characteristics and the conceptual contents and by doing so the exhibition will be an organised chaos of fine arts challenges and ideas. Last but not least, the first edition of the festival will provide some guidelines on how to think collage and its presentation.
Jury: Maja Antončič (curator of exhibition), Claudio Beorchia (collage artist from Italy) and LANE (collage artist and cofounder of the Collagistas festival from Greece)
