Art stays

Different venues, Ptuj

The programme is full of new events: from local to international, from large-scale to intimate. The 2013 festival includes projects that outline the current situation in the world of contemporary, especially visual art. We named it EXPOSE on purpose, as we do not wish to give it a common thread other than to show the diversity of contemporary art of the world. The festival’s audience is varied and Ptuj is not a large city, so creating narrowly focused projects would not bring the desired results. Over 25,000 people visited the festival last year and we hope that the number will be even higher this year.

The festival is here to inspire, please, entertain, and challenge. We present and host artists that shine in museums and biennales worldwide, and artist that will shine in the near future. We aim to show works by the currently most established artists and simultaneously wish to promote local artists and art environment in order to help our region become an even more important cultural destination, which is also reflected in the fact that we are opening up our exhibition spaces and stage this year to many Slovenian artists and taking Slovenian art into our partners’exhibition spaces abroad.

Some of the greatest names of the contemporary art scene have been choosen and will be hosted at the Festival ART STAYS 2013:

The festival ART STAYS 2013 will also host daily lectures by artists and curators, as well as workshops, as part of the Summer Academy.

A group of curators, in collaboration with the leading institutions, organizations and galleries from around the world, has produced a festival that reaffirms the important role played by Art Stays in the European art scene.

We are aware that culture and tourism that goes along, are one of the important potential ways out of the current economic and social crisis; the city of Ptuj has been reaching beyond its borders in recent years and appearing on European cultural maps as an important player. We are proud of the role that the Art Stays festival has had in the creation of this new story, and we invite you to experience it with us.

EXPOSE FIRE

Bernard Aubertin was born in Fontenay aux Roses, France in 1934. He is well known and respected throughout Europe. Aubertin was part of the artistic turmoil in the 60s and continues to innovate even today. His intense artistic activity encompasses half of a century, from his fundamental encounter with Yves Klein to joining international artistic movements, such as Nul Group in Amsterdam and Group Zero in Düsseldorf during the late 50s and early 60s.

His unique personality leads him to the use of unusual and diverse materials, such as iron and wood, then using fire to shape his works. Combustion is thus the most peculiar trait of his art, along with the colour red which is symbolic to continuous tension and burning.

His objects, survivors of the fire's damage, turn into metaphysical characters showing their past and the fate they live, trapped in the daily mechanism of reality. This is the underlying, thoughtprovoking theme, a representation of life and a metaphor for the loss of values that is prominent in today's world.

location LIBRARY IVAN POTRČ PTUJ Prešernova ulica 33-35, 2250 Ptuj

opening MON 12.00 - 19.00 TUE - FRI 8.00 - 15.00

EXPOSE WOMEN

The exhibition and the debate which will be held as part of the exhibition will present diverse art works – from photographs and collage to video – by female artists of our time, who provide us with a glimpse into a world of intimate experiences and social problems associated with the role of women in modern society.

artists: Alessia Cocca (ITA), Luisa Catucci (ITA), Pia Fernandez (ESP), Ina Loitzl (AUT)

location DOM KULTURE – MUZIKAFE Vrazov trg 1, 2250 Ptuj


opening MON - FRI 8.00 - 22.00 SAT & SUN 10.00 - 22.00

EXPOSE PUBLIC

Expose Public combines various events and interventions. The most important element this year is the collaboration with Javne službe Ptuj (Ptuj Public Services) for an artistic renovation of the city market stalls. Students from four European academies will paint the market stalls and thus colour a little part of the city, making a sort of an open-air gallery. We will also display the graffiti that had been created during the festival’s previous editions, and invite artists to create new ones. You are also welcome to visit the studios of the artists we will be hosting and get to know their work from up-close.

EXPOSE ACADEMY & DEBATE

The summer festival academy offers younger and older visitors the possibility of being creative at various workshops, from new media to photography and graffiti. There is always something happening in the festival atelier. Daily talks and debates with artists and other participants of the festival will also be held. Join us and get to know the world of contemporary art first-hand.
