On the 29 September – 5 October 2014, ARTos Foundation, within its 10-year
anniversary will host the next edition of “Park in Progress” in the Municipal Gardens of Nicosia. In the
heart of the city, international and Cypriot artists will be given the
opportunity to explore this place through a transdisciplinary and site-specific
approach.
“Park in Progress” is a
nomadic mobility programme initiated by Pépinières européennes pour jeunes
artistes, supported by the European Commission (Culture Programme), which
gathers young artists and professionals from the creative and cultural world
who work on the different steps of creation, production and diffusion of a
project. “Park in Progress” connects 8 different places in 7 different
countries (Saint-Cloud and Montreuil in France, Pannonhalma in Hungary,
Nottingham in the United Kingdom, Mons in Belgium, Huesca in Spain and Nicosia
in Cyprus.
The program consists of
two sections: a short 7-day Artists Residency
(29 September – 5 October 2014)
where the participants meet and develop common proposals following the
programme’s concept “encounter and joint creation”, and the “European Night of Young Creation”, on the
5 October at 7.p.m, which will take place in the Nicosia Municipal Gardens
and where participants will share their proposals with a broad audience in a
perambulation. For this particular stage of the programme, a hint of circus
will be colouring the transdisciplinary landscape of the artistic proposals,
connecting them in an interactive and most lively way. The actions for “European
Night of Young Creation” will begin from early on in the afternoon and will
carry on until later in the evening, showcasing a multitude of performances,
sound and video installations, contemporary dance and music.
