Zoran Poposki's video "Different" will be presented at the 10th International Festival of Contemporary Art ART STAYS in Slovenia, as part of the presentation of the international video art collection DVD project, in the year when the Art Stays festival is part of the European Capital of Culture Maribor 2012.
The ART STAYS International Festival of Contemporary Art, one of the most important contemporary art festivals in Europe, is celebrating its 10th anniversary and will bring together contemporary, mainly visual artists from all over the world. This is Poposki's second participation in the festival. In 2011, the 9th edition of Art Stays included Poposki's video performance and a lecture given at the Summer Academy.
This year's festival will be held under the slogan DISPLAY (screen/show!). The word display has many meanings, but all of them fit perfectly with the aim of the festival. It is a shopwindow, a space, and a dialogue opened with many artists who will come to Ptuj to display their work, carry out a performance, or be a part of the artist in residence programme to get creative in the oldest town in Slovenia.
In the year when the Art Stays festival is part of the European Capital of Culture Maribor 2012, some of the greatest names of the contemporary art scene will be hosted: Venice Biennale Golden Lion Award winner in 2005, Regina Jose Galindo from Guatemala, Indian artist Gigi Scaria, presented in the Indian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2011, established Polish artist Lech Majewski, Tonis Saadoja from Estonia, one of the most important Fluxus (celebrating its 50th anniversary) artists, Yoko Ono, Ilona Nemeth from Slovakia, Chilean artists Fernando Prats and Ivan Navarro, Hungarian artists Laszlo Laszlo Revesz and Eike Berg, German-Kenyan couple IngridMwangiRobertHutter, one of the most important Vietnamese artists Tiffany Chung, Raymundo Sesma from Mexico, Maitha Demithan from United Arab Emirates, as well as younger, emerging artists such as Marco Bernardi, Roberto Fassone, and Elena Mazzi from Italy, Kinki Texas and Christiane Draffehn from Germany, Zoie So from Hong Kong, Jose Molinafrom Spain, Kensuke Koike from Japan, Marlon De Azambuja from Brazil, Cyryl Zakrzewski from Poland, Slovenian artists such as son:DA, Dušan Kirbiš and many more.
