"From the number of imaginable cities we must exclude those whose elements are assembled without a connecting thread, an inner rule, a perspective, a discourse. With cities, it is as with dreams: everything imaginable can be dreamed, but even the most unexpected dream is a rebus that conceals a desire or, its reverse, a fear. Cities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears, even if the thread of their discourse is secret, their rules are absurd, their perspectives deceitful, and everything conceals something else." Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities A two-day festival of live art in the streets of Pardubice, which will become a stage for students of the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Brno University of Technology, together with Jennifer Helia De Felice /postgraduate student at the Video-Multimedia-Performance Studio/ and Lenka Klodová /head of the Studio of Body Design/. Ten artists with diverse approaches to public space will present themselves. Their work will have one common theme: exploration of an unknown city and an artistic reaction to it. Formally, there will be action art (performances and happenings) and short-term installations and interventions. .............................................................. The festival will take place throughout both days, fixed venues and times for the public: Friday 27th March 16-18 Pardubice square Saturday 28th March 16-18 třída Míru

Erleben Sie eine spannende Führung durch eine 150 Jahre alte Institution inklusive anschließendem Rundgang durch die aktuelle Ausstellung „Die Magie der Kunst - Protagonisten der slowenischen Gegenwartskunst 1968 – 2013“

In einer spannenden Führung lernen die BesucherInnen das Künstlerhaus und die 1861 gegründete gleichnamige Künstlervereinigung kennen. Sie bekommen Einblick in eine traditionsreiche Institution, die seit über 150 Jahren das kunst- und kulturpolitische Leben Wiens bzw. Österreichs entscheidend mitgestaltet. Im Ringstraßenjahr 2015 wird der Fokus besonders auf die Rolle des Künstlerhauses zu dessen Gründerzeit gelegt - jenes Zeitraums, in dem Wien zu einer der großen Metropolen Europas aufstieg und das kulturelle Leben einen Höhepunkt erreichte. So wird u.a. die Beziehung des Künstlerhauses mit dem kulturinteressierten Kaiser Franz Josef I. und seiner Frau Kaiserin Elisabeth (Sisi) aufgezeigt und diverse Theorien und Gerüchte über den Austritt Gustav Klimts aus der Künstlervereinigung und die Gründung der Secession dargelegt. Den Abschluss bildet ein kurzer Rundgang durch die aktuelle Ausstellung „Die Magie der Kunst - Protagonisten der slowenischen Gegenwartskunst 1968 – 2013“ (6. Februar – 29. März 2015). Wir freuen uns auf Ihren Besuch! Freier Eintritt. http://k-haus.at/de/ // English version // With an exciting tour through the building visitors will get to know the Künstlerhaus and its association of artists, founded in 1861. They will get an insight into a traditional institution that has helped form the art, culture and political life in Vienna for over 150 years. The Ringstraßenjahr 2015 will focus especially on the role of the Künstlerhaus and its founding period – a period in which Vienna rose to become one of the biggest metropolises in Europe and there was an explosion of culture. The relationship of the Künstlerhaus with the culturally interested Emperor Franz Josef I. and his wife Empress Elisabeth (Sisi) will be highlighted, and theories and rumours on the resignation of Gustav Klimt from the association of artists and the founding of the Secession will be revealed. The tour finishes with a short walk through the current exhibition “The Magic of Art – The protagonists of contemporary Slovenian art” (6. February – 29. March 2015). We are looking forward to seeing you! Free entry, no booking necessary. http://k-haus.at/de/kuenstlerhaus/english_information/

Niños y mayores colaboran creando su propio tejido africano utilizando sus manos y toda su imaginación.

En África son los hombres quienes tejen en telares verticales. Las mujeres se encargan después de decorar las telas, bordando o añadiendo cuentas de colores, conchas, plumas... Nosotros también queremos que la familia colabore para crear su propio tejido africano. En este caso serán un adulto acompañado, como máximo por dos niños o niñas de entre 6 y 12 años, quienes compartirán imaginación y trabajo para utilizando un telar y telas de diversos colores, elaboren su propio tejido. Después en casa lucirá como la mejor obra compartida entre todos.
