Biennial of Light Art Austria 2010

Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 +0100

Artists from all over the world are invited to show their light projects in streets, squares and public buildings, trying to empathise with the places and the people who frequent them or simply work there. Already completed artwork is shown as well as artwork especially created for the Biennale. The keywords are light-art, public and private, which build the triangle of eagerness. The public exhibition spaces are selected by the artists themselves. There is no border and no limit, so every artist has the greatest possible freedom of action. The reaction of the public will be different, because they are rapidly transformed into a captive audience. The public may come with no prior art experience, alternatively with much education. This first Biennial for Light Art in Austria wants to generate a cut surface between society and art. The spontaneous conjunction with art in public spaces leans on the art concept of Joseph Beuys from 1965 �How to define the paintings to the dead rabbit� in D�sseldorf. A dialogue should arise between art and the public.

Those mainstream publications have no incentive to seek out lesser known artists because they cater to major galleries and museums which, as a rule, only show work by established artists. Therein exists a void and it is the mission of Art Buzz Publishing to fill that void with this � the premier annual Contemporary Visual Arts Showcase, hardcover publication.

Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 +0100

The artists taking part in the competition are invited to prepare an artwork of maximum three pieces in a technique they choose. The work is intended to be a creative response to this year's competition theme "Together or apart?" This slogan can serve as a kind of a metaphor of the processes taking place in the contemporary world. Both individuals and the whole societies are faced with such a choice. Do they want to live together, contribute, collaborate and, as a result create shared value, or do they want to lead a separate, individual life of their own? Is it better to be single or in a stable relationship? Is it better to focus on the common or individual good? Is being a member of a larger organization, like the European Union better than staying apart? Is it better to feel a part of your nation or rather an individual citizen? The possible interpretations are multiple. Or maybe it is possible to combine those two attitudes: take care of your own, personal development while joining forces and working together with others? So, together or apart?
