The festival itself will open on 17^th October and most events will run until 27^th October 2024, including a wide range of exhibitions, film screenings, performances and workshop performances at various locations in the city of Larissa, Greece.

I created both video works during my Pedvale project in Latvia in 2023 and reflect notions and themes related to earth, environment, identity and nature.

The inter-artistic and inter-scientific OPEN NIGHTS festival is organized by the group OFF ART – Stage Performances and the Vice-Mayor of Culture of the Municipality of Larissa with the support of the YPPOA and the Region of Thessaly. The idea, implementation and artistic direction of the festival is the choreographer Roula Karaferi. For one more year, the festival collaborates with cultural bodies, such as the Ephorate of Antiquities of Larissa, the French Institute - French Embassy, the NEON organization, the University of Thessaly - Department of Architectural Engineering and a multitude of artists and groups.

About “all the sadness to be”

Memory, grief and resilience. We also understand memory as a complete function, formed by two contradictory elements that include remembering and forgetting. One of the questions that we strive to articulate with you is to think about the limits between both elements of memory and forgetfulness. Does memory really exist? Or is it a subconscious action as a way to avoid remember a traumatic event? How do we remember? Do we remember through our senses or through our body? Is remembering a perception of the mind or the heart? What is remembering one more time?

“Dark Paths”

A visual metaphor for an indefinable latent threat. Present in an environment with no open exit.The search for a path that allows us to leave the threatening and hostile environment. Even the open sky is no relief as it too became part of a repellent environment.

8th Graphic Art Biennial of Szeklerland

8th Graphic Art Biennial of Szeklerland

various venues and dates:

09.10-31.12.2024

In the year 2024, the 8th edition of the Graphic Art Biennial of Szeklerland will take place, marking an important international artistic and professional event. For this occasion, the G8 suggests a thematic focus on the importance of balance and, conversely, explores questions surrounding its absence. Similar to previous years, a portion of the biennial’s core collection will be exhibited in Miercurea Ciuc, and several satellite events are scheduled to take place. “Political divisions, social inequality, wars, climate change, natural disasters. In recent years, a number of geopolitical events and ecological phenomena in the world have led us to take a closer look at our collective vision of the present and the future. We look at what happens when a relative social, political or natural balance is upset. A state in which opposing influences, circumstances or aspirations no longer seem to balance each other seems to break down. Equally important is the question of the inner equilibrium and tranquillity, or lack of it, of the individual soul. The G8 stresses the importance of individual and collective responsibility in maintaining balance, and the importance of the social role of the creator and of art in restoring it. The 8th Graphic Art Biennial of Szeklerland invites visual interpretations of the importance of balance and, conversely, the lack of it, in such a way that the artistic intention focuses on the social role of the nature of the image through the creative attitude.

VIDEO SOUND ARCHIVE - Season S11

 

Since October 4, 2024, my video sound work J.7, which is also my most recent work in this genre, became part of the VIDEO SOUND ARCHIVE - Season S11

A working archive dedicated to video and sound works that reconsiders the current restructures and parameters. Implemented on January 13,2020, by artists Debbie Y.J. Lin and Bridget Moreen Leslie, both working in this medium. The hope is to build a network to foster connections, and create a place for the work to exist in a broader conversation -- a pure art exchange to experiment and express without buzz words, vanity metrics and artspeak.

Archives will exist on this website indefinitely. The goal is to create a space for like minded artists to find others working in the same medium.

Created and curated by Debbie Y.J. Lin + Bridget Moreen Leslie
