| As part of the research project PALIMPSEST (Post-ALphabetic Interactive Museum using Participatory, Space-Embedded, Story-Telling) funded by the European Programme Interreg Greece-Italy, there is an open call for graduates of Schools of Fine Arts and similar schools or graduates of Architecture Schools, with the aim of producing art installations in the city of Ioannina.
During this stage, PALIMSPEST focuses on the creation of art installations in the urban space of the city. At first, the artists will select stories from the archive and then they will reinsert them as art installations in the city’s public space appending them to their original location. The art installations will not significantly affect the physical condition of the city at its present condition. These settings, activated by visitors, will be interactive and multi-sensory, with no visible footprint in the urban area. PALIMPSEST has a thematic approach, it creates a spectacular experience of the city, but at the same time it engages artists who instigate and reinterpret situations, in which the visitor is not a passive recipient but a participant, an agent. Along the same line, PALIMPSEST is a hybrid between spectacle and thematization practices on one hand and on the other, an art-driven, situationists’ approach regarding the subject and its relation to the city. |
