This year the summer program at the Center for Contemporary Art CCA Plovdiv is dedicated to various forms of Performance Art, crossing the division lines of visual art and installation, sound, voice and dance. From Friday till Sunday, June 18 - 20, 2010, the CCA Plovdiv hosts as much as twenty international and local artists who will perform in interdisciplinary constellations and thus create unique settings for artistic encounters.

Friday´s soiree in the CCA will start with Elisabeth Penker and Susanne Rogenhofer, two Viennese artists whose work is dedicated to the examination of possible overlaps between the language of music and pictorial structures. For their Plovdiv performance they will collaborate with the austrian artist Albert Mayr as well as with students from the local Academy of Music and Arts Plovdiv (AMTII). In the course of the evening the audience will witness a performance by the young french performer Aymeric Hainaux, whose music derives from voice and breath that “fashion between silence, frictions, heartbeats, rhythms and intense mass of sounds. It leaves much to improvisation and gives, to whom attends his performance, the impression of a whole experience. Raw, poetic and fragile.” (Anthoni Dominguez, Mouvement)

The program will be flanked by two films of Marina Faust - “Transport” and “The Park”. Her work tells us about “spectacle, about a reality-haunted theatre which allows distance, which conceives of time as an immeasurable treasure, which is neither life nor its opposite, which is just like life, which binds itself down to life, not transfiguring but continuing it.” (Stéphanie Moisdon)
On Saturday, Art Today Association´s Corridor Gallery will open an exhibition of DaDa Da Academy – a group founded two years ago in Vienna as an open collective for artistic production and exposition. DaDa Da Academy is focused on creating conjunctions between art, sound and poetry, engaging international artists, writers and musicians who deal with this topic in their work. In order to deconstruct and renew grammatical structures within these areas, multiple visual/linguistic/musical languages are developed. The Plovdiv exhibition´s ambiguous caption “archive / ON VIEW” scrutinizes the idea of a retrospective by displaying also new and non-members of DaDa Da Academy.

The Corridor Gallery will show works and projects by Marina Faust, Lazar Lyutakov, Albert Mayr, Alexandar Peev, Tamuna Sirbiladze, Iris Brosch, Panos Papadopoulos, Elisabeth Penker, Maximilian Pramatarov, Susanne Rogenhofer, Dorota Walentynowicz, Selma Doborac and Axel Stockburger. Following the opening, Dj Sweet Susie, co-founder of the legendary DUB Club and one of the few known female Dj’s coming out of Vienna’s electronic music scene, will take us together with Jonnyhawaii on a journey into different genres of electronic music, like Breakbeat, Electro House, Dub Step, Dub, Global Beats and many other styles. Starting at 9 P.M. in artnewscafé.

With “33 sketches” the weekend festival culminates on Sunday, June 20, with a site-specific choreo-graphy by the ensemble WILHELM GROENER from Berlin. “The duo Mariola Groener and Günther Wilhelm devotes itself to basic questions addressing choreographic spatial assignment, the technical study of accurate movement, and their medial reflections. And covering all this is a fine veil of irony, refraction, and humour” (Franz Anton Cramer, Tanzplattform Düsseldorf).
WILHELM GROENERs Performance in the Center for Contemporary Art CCA Plovdiv will be accompanied by “Lontano” - an overnight exhibition curated by Forever and a Day Büro with works by Berlin based artists such as Ben Cottrell, Matthias Dornfeld, Andrew Gilbert, Mariola Groener, Erwin Kneihsl, Markus Selg and Astrid Sourkova.

SITES + SUBJECTS is made possible with support of our institutional partner Goethe-Institute Bulgaria, the Austrian Embassy in Sofia and the Academy for Music, Dance and Fine Arts in Plovdiv.
