Cologne International Videoart Festival
Videoart in a global context nomadic festival project 2012
Videoart in a global context nomadic festival project 2012 at Cinema Perpetuum Mobile Film Festival - Minsk. Art & the City Selection curated by Agricola de Cologne. As a nomadic festival project running 24 months, CologneOFF 2011 is focussing on experimental aspects of the global art medium video (experimental film and videoart) by spotlighting the diversity of artistic and curatorial contributions from many countries around the globe. This ambitious media art project is using CologneOFF I-VII - the seven until now realised festival editions, as basic screening programs to be extended and complemented by curatorial contributions of videoart, presenting and reflecting not only various views on the art medium itself, but also on the selected artists and art works intending to confront the audience with a variety of artistic and curatorial approaches. The filters of 12 additional thematic projects complement the concept of presenting diversity.
