 Holidays at Studio XX

Studio XX team wish you Happy Holidays!

ART’S BIRTHDAY AT STUDIO XX [January 17th 2005]
At Art’s Birthday, Studio XX goes out!

Since the proclamation of artist Robert Filliou in 1963, January 17th happens to be Art’s Birthday. Art was thus born 1,000,000 years ago and artists and artist groups everywhere around the globe celebrate this important anniversary by organizing international events and network art happenings, and by eating cake and offering gifts to Art. Every year, Art’s Birthday becomes an occasion for exchange between artists and art events. The Eternal Network grows this way by exploring the telecommunications arts.

So mark your calendar on January 17th 2006, starting 5pm, as Studio XX will embark you in a fresh and poetic itinerary, including an outdoor guerilla screening with artist Pascale Malaterre, in collaboration with various artists and Montreal artist centres who will celebrate with us that which has entered our lives so many years ago…

Look out for the details in our next newsletter!

++CALL FOR WORKS [Deadline: January 15th 2006]

For Art’s Birthday, Studio XX invites its members to contribute to the celebrations through a special “mail art” project… The Studio is asking members to create birthday “e-cards” addressed to Art! The e-cards will be made accessible or projected at the actual birthday party – culmination of the Studio’s carnival-like expedition the evening of Tuesday January 17th (gallery to be confirmed).

Via this “mail @rt” intervention, the Studio wants to underline the Eternal Network as an exchange-event oriented towards telecommunication arts as well as a playful network happening with subversive underpinnings. Studio XX thus invites members to freely re-interpret traditional e-cards! From the simple jpeg to the minimalist animation, we will accept your submissions until January 15th 2006 (so nothing too complicated!) at the following email address.

Art is very looking forward to get your birthday wishes: art@studioxx.org
