Live performances - opening weekend 17-18 May
Appreciating the current climate of growing interest in the contemporary art, the city of Alba is pleased to announce the founding of its first international contemporary art event - the Alba Art Show in May 2008. This initiative will be embodied in a two-fold exhibition in the City Exhibition Hall, which will show both the achievements of the local art galleries and organizations, and a separate segment - an international exhibition of performance and video works.
The proposed theme for the show implicates the present time and place. The Situation of the 00s - "the decade that has not yet been named" refers to the century still young, one that promises new exciting developments, if only we can learn from our mistakes. The proliferating international art biennials usually have objective to provide the reflection of the current times, in order to show the pulse of the contemporary creativity. If we understand present as a "young century" we can hope to contribute to its good education and healthy formation in symbolic sense. In more literal sense, by presenting international artworks created in the 00s, the international portion of the exhibition showcases this young potentiality and its burst of creativity.
The notion of the art tourism became all-encompassing phenomenon of the late capitalist world in which people in ever more increasing numbers express the interest in the arts. How will it manifest itself in the context of the culturally rich town of Alba, and how it will affect its more traditional structures, are some of the questions this event will try to pose to its audience.
