borderlines, personal stories and experiences from the border countries

>>Borderlines: Personal Stories and Experiences from the Border Countries
15 October – 23 November 2007
BORDERLINES’ is a cross border touring photographic exhibition, archive and hardback publication. The significant collection of recordings and photographs gives voice to people with experience of life along the border. The project includes contributions from Fermanagh, Tyrone, Cavan, Leitrim, Monaghan, Sligo, Donegal, Derry/Londonderry, Armagh, Down and Louth.
‘BORDERLINES’ is part of a wider project examining how we should remember the events connected with the conflict on the island of Ireland. It is a Gallery of Photography project organised in collaboration with Dara Training and Consultancy.

borderlines, visual arts

http://www.borderlines-fr.com
Borderlines consists in the coordination of a series of exhibitions providing emerging artists with the opportunity to meet in various European cities between October 2005 to June 2006. Each exhibition will display together French and foreign artists. At the end of May 2006, the 20 artists will be invited in Strasbourg for working together on the scenography and the setting of the final exhibition.

Borderlines associates different artistic approaches under a common theme, that of the frontier, with a view to laying down the necessary conditions for the broadening of the possibilities of creation and interpretation of art works.

The established collaborations map out a new cross-border cultural network composed of artists, theoreticians, and cultural managers from either institutions, or for-profit and non-profit organizations.

We devised and implemented Borderlines in order to invite young artists as us, to accept a challenge on the European scale, and have a go at our differences. We will call it a success if, thanks to our visual production, we enter into a true dialogue.

Thanks to be part of this project!
I hope we could exchange knowledge, experiences and works during our art experiment.

Aims:
The project aims’ to research artwork that utilises’ digital technology for social and collaborative productions.
In the project I will discuss; how does our new media environment help to develop the production of social art?
I intend to work with a group of immigrants who live in London. And through audiovisual experiments I want to document their own perspective of the city, their “borderline environment”.
For the exhibition, I am looking to create a parallel exhibition in the big show. Using the material produced throw the experiments I will select and edit what will be showed in the ‘parallel exhibition’ with different platforms for translate the project aspect.
