At 10 in the morning we take the carpet to the museum of Santo Domingo which is an extraordinary location situated in one of the courtyards of this ancient Dominican convent. It provides the perfect opportunity to make photographs from above through the different windows on the second floor that look out on the courtyard. So the association with aerial pictures becomes more apparent.
Many passers-by act curious, but no one is getting their shoes off to walk on the carpet, a good excuse for VA to undertake some time-lapse actions. These performances don’t get unnoticed. A carpet is becoming a performance scene.
No dinner.
- CONVERGENCE, the Distributed Alotof Festival
- in Brussels, Praha, Hranice, Saint-Nazaire, and on the road between Bilbao/San Sebastian.
Convergence is a new media festival, where artists literally walk out of the safe settings of room, studio, gallery, interconnecting with what is found outdoors.
Between 20 and 26 April 2015 the artists around ‘A laboratory on the open field’ (Alotof) are bringing together two years of experimenting with ecological and mobile arts.
‘Convergence’ is a festival happening at several locations and presumably outside, sometimes connected via apps and internet servers – performed, rendered, criticized, played, and enjoyed locally. The festival takes you on a walk to the several places, and introduces you to a full programme here and elsewhere…
