Video-Art project
972ART is commencing with a new project, during the 53rd Venice Biennale International Art Exhibition, open June 7th, 2009. – the largest event in the art world, which attracts millions of spectators.
MyMementoVid is an On-Going project. MyMementoVid project perceives its objective to be continuing to contemporary Video-Art works around the world. All works of art that will be accepted for the project will become part of the ever - increasing archive, which is devoted to the subject of memory; according to the personal - social - artistic perception of the artists who created them, who will also be involved. .
MyMementoVid project places special emphasis on encouraging the participation of artists and Arts and Design students. The advancement of artists at the outset of their careers is a central motive of this project. We will be grateful for cooperation with academies and universities in the fields of the Arts and Design, to create a video program which will constitute a database and inspiration for the coming generations.
Artists from around the globe invited to take part and create a video-art work dealing with the topic of Memento* (memory). These artistic memory videos will be displayed during the Venice Biennale as part of a special exhibition. This large exhibition will take place at the Scalamata Gallery. The project is already arousing much interest and many curators, artists and art students have already expressed their interest in participating. As always, we are anticipating exposure to hundreds of thousands of spectators. In addition, we are planning to produce a special catalog of the project. A video documenting the project is also being planned.
