We are pleased to announce that on Tuesday December 14th, at 5.00 p.m. ACCEA
Armenian Center for Contemporary Experimental Art in Yerevan, will host a one-
day-event Italian Container: the emerging Italian video art comes to Yerevan
project. The event is curated by Carolina Lio, the currently curator-in-residence at
ACOSS Cultural NGO in Yerevan, and supported by European Cultural Foundation
of Amsterdam and the Open Society Institute of the Soros Foundation in New York
through “Step Beyond” travel grant.
A sequence of fourteen videos will be screened during the evening. The works
have been realized by emerging and mid-carreer Italian artists and have been
selected by the curator in collaboration with Visual Container
(www.visualcontainer.org), a Milan based organization for the promotion and
dissemination of Italian video art and new media.
All selected videos are produced in the last years and have already been admitted
in International Video Festivals. Invited artists are chosen as a representative group
of emerging young figures already known and well-adjusted in the Italian
contemporary art scene. The videos are of varying types, ranging from animation
to performance, in order to give as complete view as possible of the today's video
art in Italy.
The initiative is part of the “Step Beyond” program, aimed to stimulate
transnational collaborations and the mobility of artists and cultural actors. In
particular it is focused on cultural exchanges between European countries and
their neighbours. Fallowing this the one-day-event in ACCEA/NPAK, screening of
works of Armenian video artists will take place in Italy in January 2011, organized
in “Visual Container” exhibition space in Milan.
