Autor: Estêvão | Publicado: 2013-06-17T01:13:00-03:00



O Eksperimenta! é uma iniciativa belíssima de um estúdio de arte de Tallinn, Estônia, do qual eu sou parceiro e participei da primeira edição em 2011. É uma grande oportunidade para professores de arte que querem expor no exterior projetos desenvolvidos com/por seus estudantes. Se alguém precisar de maiores informações pode escrever pra mim, sou o curador da mostra brasileira na exposição de 2014. É possível conseguir financiamento do MinC para essa viagem, posso ajudar com isso também.



Eksperimenta! is an international contemporary art festival for young people in the age of 14 – 19, taking place in Tallinn, Estonia with the mission to support the development of critical, socially sensitive and creative thinking in society through the integration of contemporary art and art education. Eksperimenta! invites art and art education organisations world-wide to&nbsp;become partners for the E! 2014 triennial&nbsp;Art &amp; Science&nbsp;with the role of organising the national exhibitions.



Focusing on the topic&nbsp;Space, the first E! took place in 2011. Eksperimenta! 2014 will be held in&nbsp;October – November 2014&nbsp;in Tallinn Creative Hub on the topic&nbsp;Art &amp; Science,&nbsp;integrating&nbsp;contemporary art, art education and different fields of sciences. Art, education and sciences are all becoming more interdisciplinary, for example a great part of contemporary art uses research-based approach, in education discipline-based approach is changing into topic-based approach and new fields of sciences are born in the crossborder of disciplines. The E! triennial offers a cooperation platform for young people, art educators, artists, curators, and scientists, being a kind of creative laboratory where new innovative knowledge is born.&nbsp;Read more below.



The role of the partner organisation includes selecting the national curator and organising the production of national exhibition. Eksperimenta! team will provide overall building and design of the triennial area, technical equipment, marketing, compilation of the catalogue and the programme of the opening week.
