Jenny Marketou / Red Eyed Sky Walkers: Silver Series, 2011
Networked environment
Gateways: Art and Networked Culture exhibition
May 12 to September 25, 2011
The work of Jenny Marketou Red Eyed Sky Walkers: Silver Series 2011 is a networked environment created on site and set in the courtyard in front of the Kumu Art Museum in Tallinn, Estonia. The environment which according to the artist touches upon the vital role of the viewer in directly incorporated in the process of the development of her work consists of the fluid, shifting and ephemeral ecology of 49 Silver Mylar reflective meteorological balloons which are attached on the ground by several yards of transparent plastic tethers. As guests at the museum are sitting under the shelter of the balloons they can hear the mesmerizing patterns of the wind as it blows through the Mylar surface when the balloon touches each other creating a real condition for a sharing experience and rest.

In their new performance La promenade du sceptique, VestAndPage had been inspired by Diderot's thoughts about the human and its value:
"Human is the only term to which to refer to and and from which to start from, if one wants to please, touch and move, even in the most arid considerations and dry particularities."
This idea is more contemporary than ever, and in VestAndPage's approach to Performance art and corporal poetry, those premises put into action a whole series of live experiences. The performance's objects and setting are designed and realized in collaboration with the students of the Atelier of Stage Design of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia.
The event Infr'Action Venezia 2011 features a large number of international Action and Live artists in an intense, exciting public event that goes beyond the mainstream. Infr'Action Venezia is here and now and it's ephemeral. More than 30 artists from 15 countries will be present with works that are shown simultaneously in the city of Venice from 2-6 pm every day, and in the evening program in the courtyard of the Accademia di Belle Arti on June 2nd and 3rd, from 7-10:30 pm.
Verena Stenke & Andrea Pagnes work together as VestAndPage since 2006 internationally in body-based live art Performance, investigating the topics of fragility, transformation, impermanence and memory activation.

Andrea Bianconi, The Chinese Umbrella Hat Project (Part I), Shanghai, 2010
The Chinese Umbrella Hat Project (Part II), Venice 2011
An intercultural art project by Andrea Bianconi, curated by Oliver Orest Tschirky
The Italian artist Andrea Bianconi connects East and West by building an artistic bridge with 88 dressed models between art hot spots Shanghai and Venice with his intercultural, poetic and fascinating art project.
Public art intervention (part II) in conjunction with La Biennale di Venezia:
Saturday, June 4, 2011 (opening week of the Venice Biennale 2011)
16-18 pm, Piazza San Marco / Viale dei Giardini Pubblici, Venice, Italy
Public Art Performance
88 models dressed with Chinese umbrella hats, opera masks and silk dresses are walking through Shanghai and Venice to make visible the historic, cultural, social and economic relations and interdependences between China and the rest of the world.
As the first part of the public art intervention, last year on September 9, 2010, when the World Expo 2010 “Better City, Better Life” and the contemporary art fair ShContemporary were occurring simultaneously, 88 Chinese models were walking through the city of Shanghai.
This year, on Saturday, June 4, 2011, during the opening week of La Biennale di Venezia, the second part of the public art performance will take place, when 88 models with the same umbrella hats, opera masks and silk dresses are walking through the city of Venice.
Andrea Bianconi created in China the symbolic number of 88 Chinese umbrella hats, opera masks and silk dresses for this public art performance. At the Chinese paper umbrellas are chopsticks with knotted strings attached where small objects of the daily life were hanging such as toys, coins, pins, buttons, pieces of paper, feathers, parts of plants, and artificial flowers.
Even though a great number of Chinese people are living in Italy, especially in the Milan and the textile center of Prato, they are not willing to participate in the public art performance because they do not dare to take part in a public event. Therefore, courageous Italians are replacing the Chinese immigrants in Europe, representing the Chinese culture and presence, and are symbolically giving the great Chinese community a face. In
Perception and Interpretation
The spectators laugh and wonder, take pictures, have positive and lasting impressions, and appreciate the peaceful appearance of these meaningful and poetic characters because in the Chinese culture the number 8 symbolizes good luck and 88 means a lot of good luck.
The umbrella hats stand for the rich cultural tradition and history, the openness and dynamics of the civilization, the exchange and communication between the people, the mutual and international understanding, the fast development and transition from the past to the future, the intimacy and shelter, the daily happiness and personal welfare, the appreciation for simple things and the vernacular, as well as the beauty, esthetics and richness of the human being.
Because of the Silk Road the two places are highly connected through history, culture, trading and economy. Today, both Shanghai and Venice are world leading places for classic and contemporary art. Different worlds as well as past, present and future are united in the public art intervention the Chinese Umbrella Hat Project.
Organization and Support
The artist and his wife Sonia travelled to China in August 2010 and rented an apartment as well as a studio and worked in Shanghai for one month to prepare the public art performance. During this time, they purchased the working materials, produced 88 umbrella hats and the special silk dresses.
The models make experience in an international art project and each receive for the participation a unique and signed artist t-shirt of the event, designed by the artist. The public art project is generously supported by Chinese, Italian and Swiss institutions and companies.
For 2011 in Venice the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the Republic of Italy, Rome, Anno Culturale della Cina, Italian Culture Office of the Consulate General of Italy in Shanghai, Regione del
Veneto, Dipartemento di Studi sull’Asia e sull’Africa Mediterranea, Ca’Foscari Venezia, Istituto Confucio presso l’Università Ca’Foscari Venezia are holding the patronage.

BE ART - BE ECO - BE BIO - WITH TINA B. 2011!
Festival dates: 19 October – 13 November 2011
Main programme: 19 October – 23 October 2011
Location: Vernon Projekt, The piazetta of the New Stage of the National Theatre, BIO OKO + open-air installations and site-specific projects
The sixth year of the TINA B. festival will take place in Prague from 19 October to 13 November 2011. Like last year, in 2011 the festival will again present art that employs new artistic methods and uses innovative art techniques. Each year we present work by between 50 and 100 artists from all over the world.
However at each festival we also concentrate on artists from selected countries, who are invited to curate their own sections. At TINA B. 2011 we would like to focus on countries from the Visegrad Group and countries of the Mediterranean (Turkey, Greece, Spain, and southern Italy). We feel that geographic areas can offer examples of altogether distinct ways of looking at new lifestyles.
The following curators have been approached to participate in TINA B. 2011: Oliver Orest Tschirky (Germany), Ola Grzonkowska (Poland), Morgane Tschiember (France), Kerry Spring (UK), Claudia Zanfi (Italy), Verena Stenke (Germany), Andrea Pagnes (Italy), Aleš Vašíček (Czech Republic). Ms Serena Baccaglini (Italy) will also be engaged in the TINA B. festival as supervisor of the Italian projects.
As always, TINA B. will present the latest art trends in the new media, light art, video art, performance, and more.
THE THEMES OF TINA B. 2011
Each year TINA B. introduces a new theme that runs through the entire festival. In 2010 that theme was expressed in the words ‘Solutions and Evolution’. We are concentrating on new expectations for the future. We realise that art is a part of public life for many people and thus has the capacity to change many things. Art has an enormous social dimension to it that we want to support.
In 2011 we will pick up on this home. Our vision is directed towards new ways of thinking, especially towards reflecting on our co-existence with nature. In many parts of our planet nature is in turmoil. Our disregard for nature is now turning against us. Natural disasters are on the evening newscast almost every day. What can we do to address this situation in the 21st century? Can we begin to acknowledge the fact that nature is not our property? How can we think more ecologically? Is it possible to go back to our roots and relearn what we’ve forgotten?
In 2011 TINA B.’s motto is ART – ECO – BIO. We’re letting the artists create new, creative, ‘green’ works, which will reflect possible social behaviour in the space we inhabit.

Statement:
The next step also often happens: an insight. "Goddamn it! I always let myself get pushed around. I always apologize for being in the way. I never push back. I only just always wonder at it." And next, an idea came for the piece!
More words occurred to me. Little by little, as Life pushed me around some more, the brutality of the piece evolved. Rocky relationships found their way into it, and my dramatic police arrest and incarceration on bogus charges (eventually dismissed). For three months, the words came on their own into my mind in the order you see them. I videoed my rehearsals for a live, naked performance, but then video became its medium. I always let my artwork tell me how to make it."
--Barbara Rosenthal. Catalogue statement, Tina-B: The Prague Contemporary Art Festival, 2010, at which this video premiered. Photo of the artist by Pam Kray.
