Real Presence, Generation 2001 is a first huge international multimedia
workshop and meeting of young artists and students from East and West
European Art Academies after ten years of war, political crisis and cultural
isolation of Yugoslavia.
Now in time of transition it is necessary to bridge the gaps and
re-establish contacts and cultural dialogue between Yugoslavia and other
countries therefore Real Presence involves emerging generations of artists
coming from different cultural backgrounds and working in different media.
More than 300 young artists coming from Art Academies of 16 countries
(Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Germany, Holland, Hungary, Italy, Macedonia, Romania, Slovenia, Sweden,
Switzerland, Yugoslavia) are taking part in permanent workshop presenting
performances, actions, lectures, web projects, video and on site
installations, painting and sculpture, in order to affirm the actual
possibility to move freely and openly within different disciplines, media
and expressive languages, and to articulate new, fresh and real positions,
attitudes, concepts and reflections on global and individual life and
reality.
International multimedia workshop Real Presence will be opened on 27th of
August with conference of Harald Szeemann, artistic director of Venice
Biennale. After duration of two weeks, filled with intense program of
events, presentations, conferences and performances the manifestation will
