Art-Koltsovo / «ILLUMINATORS» Open call An
International open competition to take part in the exhibition
«ILLUMINATORS»
Yekaterinburg «Koltsovo» airport announces the
beginning of the international exhibition project «ILLUMINATORY»
which will be shown in April June 2008 in the open spaces of the
International terminal of the airport. The works for the exhibitions
will be selected on a competitive basis by an international award
panel. The organizers invite the artists to submit digital prints
and digital video in the form of «tondo» to the

The exhibition «ILLUMINATORS» opens the «Art-
Koltsovo» program.
The exhibition
The exhibition
will show modern versions of «tondo» the form of pictures with
ancient traditions.
We accept electronic files of works which can
be reproduced by the organizers like as digital prints, light boxes,
video objects/installations and video projections,. The organizers
are going to challenge the interior environment of the international
terminal of «Koltsovo» airport. Visually the exposition will be
represented by numerous round spots of lights «floating/hovering»
free in the airport cubage.
Participants
Any
artists working in the field of new media are
invited.
Works of art

Concept.
In Russian an
«illuminator» (port hole, bull¹s eye) is a round window onboard a
ship, airplane, space station.
The concept of the project is
based on the round shape of the exhibited works of art. This formal
principle is closely connected with on the one hand the image of
aircrafts and air travels (till recently planes have had round
bull¹s eyes); on the other hand it plastically continues and
supports the idea of the round plafonds in the foyer of the terminal
where the exposition will be installed. Here the formal aspects of
concept close down the meaning of the word ILLUMINATORS in the
majority of European languages, where the Latin word means a
lighting unit, a source of light, a screen, somebody or something
shedding light, lighting and also an artist illustrating/decorating
manuscripts. That¹s why ILLUMINATORS are not only works of art but
also those creating them artists. A round is the most harmonious
shape, a fundamental archetypical sign offering a vast variety of
associations. One of its most obvious meanings is the world. In this
case ILLUMINATOR is an artist¹s worldview projection or worldview
magnifying glass or «window» into artist¹s world.
The
exposition of «ILLUMINATORS» exhibition visually and conceptually
coincide with the name of the airport «Koltsovo» («koltso» is
Russian for a «ring»; ring round). The exhibition will be opened
on the eve of the Day of Cosmonautics. Russian cosmonautics started
in «Koltsovo» as the first jet engines were tested here. The project
is aimed to create a positive, emotionally rich environment in the
waiting rooms of the international terminal. Besides the exhibition
provides the passengers and guests of the airport with the recent
achievements of international contemporary art.

the Emergency Relief Residencies, which provided respite to over 130
artists who had been displaced from their home and studios in the
aftermath of 9/11.
Due to the enormous success of this
program, SFAI established its full time Artist and Writer Residency
program. The following programs are now offered: Artist and Writer
Residencies, Writers Foundation Residencies, Witter Bynner Poetry
Translator Residencies, Balkan Artist and Writer Residencies and
Emergency Relief Residencies.
Artists who are selected for
residencies receive living and working space at SFAI, centrally
located within Santa Fe's vibrant and diverse cultural community.
Resident living and studio space is housed within the SFAI facility,
a nearly 17,000 square foot complex designed by renowned Mexican
architect, Ricardo Legoretta. SFAI's complex offers
gallery/exhibition spaces, sky lit studios, a growing contemporary
art library, courtyards, laundry facilities, communal kitchen, and
dining and living room areas. All residents receive private living
quarters and bath. Visual artists have work space in the more
communal areas of the building (flexible walls provide each resident
with a minimum of 700 square feet of semi- private studio space).
Writers are welcome to use the library space for writing and
reading, as well as their own private rooms equipped with desks. An
outdoor courtyard offers space for working in a variety of media.
