Neterotopia: a project by NICC and Love Difference, in collaboration with Cittadellarte, Palais de Tokyo and Careof. On display in Paris, Anversa and Milan 16-31 March 2006
Neterotopia is a project by New International Cultural Center (NICC), Anversa, and Love Difference, in collaboration with Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto, Palais de Tokyo and Careof. Curated by Daniel Balit, Neterotopia is an event occurring in various places of the Net. Eleven artists from different countries have been invited to choose web site and use the spaces, usually intended for advertising. Those spaces are thus converted in spaces for display, access points for a journey through the public and virtual space of the Net, whose main junction is represented by the site neterotopia.net. Neterotopia was born from a collaboration between NICC and Love Difference in collaboration with Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto, tracing the borders of a hybrid space, with a changeable geography; it is inspired by Foucault’s concept of eterotopia. In opposition to the non-places of utopy, the heterotopies (literally: places of diversity), are defined by Foucault as "other spaces" capable to receive diversity and possibility, without disconnecting from the real world. Neterotopies are thus inserted in the media communication system, respecting its rules and limits, at same time attaching a new significance to advertising spaces. On display from 16th to 31st of March 2006 at Palais de Tokio (Paris), NICC (Anversa) and Careof (Milan) the artists 0100101110101101.ORG, Tawny Christophe, Gazhel, Susan Hefuna, Nathalie Hunter, Yuji Oshima, Peter Lemmens and Eva Cardon, Adam Vackar, Stephen Vitiello, Luca Vitone, Version (Gabriela Vanga, Ciprian Muresan and Mircea Cantor).
