Videoart/mapping projections entitled KL!KR! (CL!CR!, translator´s note) react to and work with the theme of climate change. Each one of us imagines something different under the notion of climate crisis. Art research carried out by Mgr. art. Lukáš Matejka, ArtD. and a team of contemporary artists relies on collecting oral-personal interpretations of the climate crisis from a wider spectrum of people (children, youth, adults, pensioners) also reaching out to different social classes. These “notes” define some kind of a subject matter or sub-themes for the micro artworks of the project.

Following this is searching for locations which define the places for the implementation of projections intervening in the public space. The new map (Trenčín and surroundings) shows locations where the three time-limited site-specific performances will take place for 3 nights. In total, the project will introduce 9 independent visual artworks to the public. Each artwork will be documented in detail followed by postprocess/ post-production.

The final stages are defined by a thorough selection of presentable photographs for an exhibition in a gallery space. Following the exhibition is a creation of an expanded online concept – in text (professional text) and in picture (photographs, photo documentation, video) on a website.

“The project follows and processes various local and personal views/ attitudes/ understandings/ misunderstandings/ conspiracies into artworks within an important global issue.”

The realization of the project was funded from public resources in the form of a scholarship by the Slovak Arts Council. The implementation of the project was financially supported by the city of Trenčín – youth program. More information will be added.

To be included in the network, the work of art must meet the condition of employing a text. The text serves as a password unlocking the next artwork/ author. To move to another artwork, spectators need to type out the text included in the artwork into the chosen window on the web. The author may employ the text in any manner without a restraint on the medium, however it must be readable for the visitor of this network. The text may become the main theme of the artwork but that does not mean it must be its only and main element. The author creates the text him/herself. The selection criteria:

• quality of the artwork
• the way the text is set in the context of the online space
• complying with the technical conditions to fulfill the function of the project

The artworks of any genre and form (visual, audiovisual, audio, literary, painting, performance, choreography, recording, …) reacting to the particularities of the internet space or the current social issues or self-representation are welcome. The artworks created solely for the exhibition project as well as works of art of older date are welcome. The concept of the exhibition project is not otherwise limited by a theme.

DUAL was supported by the city of Trenčín under the Creative platform project. Thank you.

The condition that a work must meet for networking is working with text. The text serves as a password for moving to the next part / author. In order for the viewer to move to the next part, he must describe the text from the work to the selected line on the web. The way the author processes this text is not restricted to the media, but must be legible to a visitor to this network. The text may also be the main theme of a work, but it is not a condition of being the sole and principal expression element. The author creates the text himself. The selection criterion is:

the quality of the work
the form of setting into the context of the online space
compliance with the technical requirements for the fulfillment of the project function

We welcome works of every genre and form (visual, audiovisual, audio, literary, painting, performance, choreography, recording, …) responding to the specifics of the Internet environment or current social themes or self-presentation. Welcome works are created directly for the exhibition project, but may also be an older work. The concept of an exhibition project is not otherwise thematically limited.

The gallery can be found at the link URL: dual.trakt.sk

The project has an independent and non-commercial character.

The project was sponsored by the Slovak Arts Council.
