About
The project of the PROGRAM “City-2013” will be organized in the framework of the 350 anniversary celebrations of the city of Ivano-Frankivsk (Stanislav).
It is intending to combine different forms of videoart – traditional and latest developments – in one program, to give an overview over the Carpathian region as a part of Central Europe and the Ukraine, inviting at the same time artists from all over the world no matter where they come from.
CITY – an island in the sea of the European quest for a common house
CITY – A Central European oasis
CITY – a landscape made for living
Europe always wanted to fix its center, at least in the geographical sense. This place has been found about 100 years ago in Austro-Hungary close to the small town of Rakhiv in the Ukrainian Carpathians. And the City of Ivano-Frakivsk (formerly Stanislav) is very close, no more than 100 km in distance.
The City is famous for its favourable geographical location, its architecture and the wide range of cultural, sociological and architectural activities. The urban space has the potential to become an unique creative ground for realizing even unusual futuristic projects.
