20th International Multimedial Art Festival - IMAF 2018
One of the main projects done by Multimedia Art Studio certainly is the International Multimedial Art Festival – IMAF. This Festival is an annual event dedicated to the art of performance. This year’s IMAF is a jubilee, 20 years from the start, and this is a great rarity to survive for this long on independent art scene with long term financial difficulties. International Multimedial Art Festival – IMAF, has grown into a manifestation of major importance for contemporary art scene, firstly in our country but worldwide as well.
In the annual programs of IMAF, realized during few last years, artist, participants have worked on projects of questioning the ethical principles and problems arising as a byproduct of globalization. Problems created by accelerated technological advancement in regard of values created by civilization and esthetics. Programs and artistic works, within IMAF, are pointing out especially on the relation between body and technology, through minimalistic physical actions.
Seven artists from Serbia and ten artists from Germany, Holland, Finland, Poland and Hungary are the participants of the 20th anniversary Festival of multimedia art. Within the Festival we have invited well known artist and a certain number of young artist from Serbia and abroad.
Artist will perform on several locations in Odzaci, at the Center Gallery and on the town streets. In Novi Sad the Festival will take place at SULUV Gallery and on the city streets, with cooperation of the Association of Fine Artists of Vojvodina.
As it was our practice in the past, IMAF gives a chance to young artists to present themselves during the official program. This time, five students of Scene design Faculty of Technical Sciences from University of Novi Sad, will make their public performances for the first time.
This year’s selection of artist is the result of several generations of interdisciplinary approach to live works, by making durational, place dependant, action, body, situational and experimental art forms.
20. Međunarodni festival multimedijalne umetnosti - IMAF 2018
Jedan od glavnih projekata Studija za multimedijalnu umetnost svakako je Međunarodni festival multimedijalne umetnosti - IMAF. IMAF je godišnji događaj posvećen umetnosti performansa.
IMAF se ove godine održava jubilarno po dvadeseti put i velika je retkost, ovako dugog opstajanja, na nezavisnoj umetničkoj sceni u dugogodišnjim teškim finansijskim uslovima. Međunarodni festival multimedijalne umetnosti – IMAF je izrastao u manifestaciju od izuzetnog značaja za savremenu umetničku scenu, kako u našoj zemlji tako i u svetu.
U godišnjim programima festivala IMAF, koji su realizovani u poslednjih nekoliko godina, umetnici, učesnicii su radili na projektima preispitivanja etičkih principa i problema koji se pojavljuju kao nusproizvod opšte globalizacije. Problemi ubrzanog tehnološkog napretka u odnosu na civilizacijske i estetske vrednosti. Programima i umetničkim radom, u okviru projekata IMAF festivala, upućuje posebno na odnos tela i tehnologija, kroz minimalističke fizičke akcije.
Sedmoro umetnika iz Srbije i deset umetnika iz Nemačke, Holandije, Finske, Poljske i Mađarske su učesnici dvadesetog jubilarnog festivala multimedijalne umetnosti. U okviru festivala, pozvani su afirmisani i jedan broj mladih umetnika iz zemlje i inostranstva.
Umetnici će nastupati na više lokacija u Odžacima, u galeriji Centar i na ulicama grada. U Novom Sadu festival će se dešavati u galeriji SULUV i ulicama grada, u saradnji sa Savezom Udruženja likovnih umetnika Vojvodine.
Kao i ranijih godina festival IMAF pruža šansu mladim umetnicima za predstavljanje u oficijelnom programu. Ove godine po prvi put će javno izvesti svoje umetničke performanse petoro studenata Scenskog dizajna, Fakulteta tehničkih nauka, Univerziteta u Novom Sadu.
Ovogodišnji izbor umetnika predstavlja višegeneracijski međudisciplinarni pristup radu uživo, radeći dugotrajne, zavisne od mesta, akcione, telesne, situacione i eksperimentalne oblike umetnosti.
