Going Public in Greece: Love Difference in Larissa for Communities and Territories
At its third edition, Going Public (a public art project born in Modena along with the Festival of Philosophy) seeks for widening its boundaries.
Filippo Fabbrica, Love Difference coordinator, will present Love Difference projects at the debate of the 21st of May in Larissa, featuring Yorgos Tzirtzilakis (Greece); Carlos Basualdo (Argentina/USA); Marti Peran (Spain); Jerome Sans (France). On Sunday, the 22nd of May, the Love Difference coordinator will hold a workshop at the Katsigras Municipal Gallery, Larissa, with local artists and writers.
Thus, the 2005 edition of Going Public, focusing on the New Europe issues – people, economy and culture streams from East to West and back – will be structured in different sections: on site workshops with locals (young and elderly people, immigrants, etc.), making of works of art (photography, video, urban actions, performances), public debates, film reviews, and the publishing of a book.
The first stage of the project, curated by Claudia Zanfi with Roula Planta, will take place in Larissa (Greece), after the invitation of the City, for the opening of the Contemporary Art Centre on the 21st of May. Communities and Territories is the title of this first step, in which international artists will take part into workshops at the Macedonian boundary, together with authors from the former Yugoslavia. The aim is that of investigating life in border territories in the Balkans; migration processes; activities in small foreign communities in Larissa (rom, vlachos, refugees from Middle East, Russia, Albania, Serbia, etc.). The second step will take place in Modena in autumn, focusing on the Baltic region, with artists from North-East Europe. .
