23. Međunarodni festival multimedijalne umetnosti - IMAF 2021
23rd International Multimedial Art Festival - IMAF 2021
28. 08. 2021 - 05. 09. 2021.
Novi Sad - Odzaci

Idući u susret ovogodišnjem 23. Međunarodnom festivalu multimedijalne umetnosti, početkom godine, morali smo uzeti u obzir aktuelnu pandemijsku situaciju. Neznajući kako će nas stanje zateći u vreme održavanja festivala pozvali smo umetnike da, na otvoreni konkurs, šalju svoje video zapise performansa, realizovanih u prvoj polovini ove godine. Iz prošlogodišnjeg iskustva, kada smo takođe uspešno realizovali onlajn prezentaciju video radova performansa autora širom sveta, preneli smo i u ovu godinu mnoge pozitivne mogućnosti. Od video radova i fotografija, poslatih za ovogodišnju onlajn prezentaciju, biće postavljena multimedijalna izložba pod nazivom “Glas zaključanih” (The voice of the locked). Učesnici onlajn prezentacije i izložbe “Glas zaključanih” u galeriji SULUV u Novom Sadu su 83 umetnika iz 36 zemalja. Izložba će biti održana od 30. avgusta do 04. septembra 2021. godine. Prezentacija video radova onlajn, na YouTube kanalu festivala IMAF, će biti održana od 28. avgusta do 05. septembra 2021. godine.
Prateći aktuelnu situaciju i ukidanjem restriktivnih mera krajem proleća, u regionu i šire, odlučili smo da pozovemo zainteresovane umetnike za nastupe uživo. Verujući da nastupi umetnika uživo, oči u oči sa publikom, nemaju adekvatnu alternativu. Za program performansa uživo pozvano je 14 umetnika iz Italije, Češke, SAD, Velike Britanije, Španije, Mađarske, Ukrajine, Australije/Nemačke i Srbije. Program performansa uživo će biti održan u sledećim terminima: 28. avgusta na trgu ispred Sportskog centra Odžaci, 03. i 04. septembra u galeriji SULUV, u Novom Sadu i 05. septembra u prostoru napuštenog Motela “Šumice” u Odžacima.


To meet this year's 23rd International Multimedial Art Festival, at the beginning of the year, we had to take into account the current pandemic situation. Not knowing how the situation would catch us during the festival, we invited artists to send their videos of performances, realized in the first half of this year, to an open competition. From last year's experience, when we also successfully realized the online presentation of video works of authors around the world, we transferred many positive opportunities this year as well. From the video works and photos, sent for this year's online presentation, a multimedia exhibition called "The Voice of the Locked" will be set up. Participants in the online presentation and exhibition "Voice of the Locked" in the SULUV gallery in Novi Sad are 83 artists from 36 countries. The exhibition will be held from August 30th to September 4th, 2021. The presentation of video works online, on the YouTube channel of the IMAF festival, will be held from August 28th to September 5th, 2021.
Following the current situation and the abolition of restrictive measures at the end of spring, in the region and beyond, we decided to invite interested artists for live performances. Believing that the artists will perform live, face to face with the audience, they do not have an adequate alternative. 14 artists from Italy, Czech Republic, USA, United Kingdom, Spain, Hungary, Ukraine, Australia/Germany and Serbia were invited for the live performance program. The live performance program will be held in the following dates: August 28th on the square in front of the Sports Center Odzaci, September 3rd and 4th in the SULUV gallery in Novi Sad and on September 5th in the abandoned Motel "Sumice" in Odzaci.
