Re:Location 5 is an international project prepared by Jan Koniarek Gallery in cooperation with O.K Centrum for Contemporary Art in Linz. The project emphasises the dynamic and active process of communication between two or more positions, institutions, geographical locations, and social situations. During the residency in Slovakia Austrian artist Mario Sinnhofer continued his investigation on soccer: he interpreted the rectangular pattern of the old town of Trnava, surrounded by the medieval city wall as a pitch and transformed the citymap into a playground through taped (soccer) running performances. Emoke Vargova works with the historic pattern in another context - uncovering different layers of paint on the walls of former school in Linz that serves now as an art center in the project called Schoner Wohnen.

The first period of the common project Re:Location 1-7 (April 2002 - April 2004) consists of a series of seven bilateral projects realised by art institutions, which have joined together to form the "Art Centres of Europe" network. This project is a team work of seven institutions from France, Austria, Rumania, Luxembourg, Poland, Switzerland and from Slovakia. During three years each of these partners organise two exchange projects including residency stay of the artists that take into concideration the gained experiences in the specific country.
Second period Re:Location Shake will be realised during April - October 2004 at each art centre. The project is supported by the program of European union Culture 2000 and Austrian Cultural Forum in Bratislava.

Opening: on Thursday, October 9th 2003 at 8 p.m

Duration: 9/10 2003 - 9/11 2003
