'THE KICK' Project |
THE KICK Exhibition Believing in symbolic force and potentials of visual communications, we invite all artists and designers to use their visual tools to make a comment or criticism on violence, be it a cause or a consequence, a private or a social testimony, a global or a local issue, prominent or suppressed in society. Wider contextualization and solution ideas are particularly welcome! We have planned two possible forms of reaction. Since a street POSTER is the most explicit and democratic of all means of public communication, it was chosen as the bearer of the visual part of the programme, its dimensions measuring 100x70 cm. Led by the idea of an engaging poster and an open democratic wall ('dazibao'), the received posters will be pasted on a construction made exclusively for that purpose and placed in the central pedestrian zone of the city of Split, on the premiere night of 'The Kick' performed by the new PlayDrama Theatre. Despite the flare-up of media and a wide variety of visual communication forms surrounding us, the STREET has remained the most convincing communication channel where an individual exchanges coincidences and purposefulness of his or her presence with other individuals and community as a whole. As a place both private and public, general and individual, it is relevant to every citizen and accidental passerby, and the same applies to the encounters with posters and their messages. You are also free to send your message in the form of an old or recent VIDEO, critically addressing both the violence in general and the specific qualities of adolescent formative and transitive age. The video programme will be presented in the Art-Conservation Department Gallery in the centre of Split, simultaneously with the theatrical performance of 'The Kick' and the Street Poster Installation. |
