Festival Break 2.3 info

[anna balint]

Hello!

I am sending you information about the Break 2.3 festival. 

The purpose of the multimedia festival Break (previously known as Break 
2.2 and Break 21), which is realized for the 8th time this year, is to 
explore new artistic expressions and contemporary topics and to emphasize 
emerging poetics whose artistic discourse has not yet been deep-rooted 
within firmly established standards, criteria and cultural values. By 
successfully supporting innovative and intellectually stimulative new art, 
festival Break has become one of the significant global events within 
contemporary art and broader cultural framework.

With this year's theme New Species we wish to stimulate the creation of 
those original poetics, which deal explicitly with invention, fabrication, 
innovations, and in general with experimentation and the search for new 
routes. 
The festival will be held between 7th and 21st November 2005. 
Kind regards,
Polona Tratnik, art director of festival Break 2.3
