URBAN SPACE converts its solely function as a mere backdrop and is about to
be activated. Thus the neglected public space of the Old Town and other
neighbourhoods of Plovdiv is transformed into a vivid place of artistic
practice. Cineasts and random passer-bys form an audience in a unique
setting. The facades themselves start to act, to talk and to move.

VIDEO ART leaves its hermetic and privileged venues as art-house cinemas,
galleries and museums. The facade becomes a new medium of encounter between
artist and recipient, between art and urban environment. The festival would
become a platform where cultural institutions, curators, artists, critics
from all over the world can exchange ideas and experiences in the field of
the contemporary art.

Façade is a project of Art Today Association - Center for Contemporary Art
– Plovdiv, The Ancient Bath. E-mail: office at arttoday.org web:
