| 1. OPEN CALL |
|
Organized by The ArtCommittee 2007: Hyosung Bidol, (US), UFOLAB - Jane Jin Kaisen (DK), Jette Hye-Jin Mortensen (DK), Trine Gleerup (DK) & Anna Jin Hwa Borstam (SE). The idea of the OPEN CALL exhibition is to show the diversity of creative expressions flourishing within the international adoptee community. We all have different reasons and needs to express ourselves creatively. Either you choose it as a profession, or you just do it anyway, or find a third way to define your practice. The Open Call is unique in the sense that everyone is invited to participate, from all different countries in all different mediums and expressions. It will become a temporary space and time where artists will meet other creative people. This is a moment for the artists and the audience to share personal curiosity, academic research, and alternative actions all under the same roof. During this coming week you will be able to enjoy, think about, experience, maybe get upset about, and be seduced by visual art, performances and readings.
