TO CLOSE TO RETURN
12 October @ 7pm

Divadlo Štúdio tanca,
Komenského 12, Banská Bystrica, Slovakia
Tickets: €6
www.studiotanca.sk

Choreographer Katarina Mojžišová will be premiering her latest work, a postmodern ballet "Too Close To Return) with Divadlo Štúdio tanca, a professional dance theatre under the artistic director Zuzana Hájková in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia.

Prilis blízko na návrat (Too Close To Return) is based on the music and original libretto of Karel von Kleist, a Dutch composer living in Ireland. The composition is a soundscape that took him seven years to compose. The outcome was a ballet in ten scenes about the search of the soul.

In the coception of Katarina Mojžišová while preserving the theme, the original libretto has been adapted for the needs of audio-visual-physical media involved and choreographed as a postmodern ballet.

The visual aspect consists of the set and costumes by Slovak set designer Erik Ivančik and the multimedia stage design by Austrian artists MACHFELD.

The physical, bodily aspect are the six dancers of Štúdio Tanca - Denisa Benčatová, Lenka Rajchmanová, Lucia Horváthová, Miroslava Peterská, Tibor Trulik and Michal Štefkovič. The state of transition, of being on the journey, when there is a need to decide whether to go on or to return is the recurring motive of the performance. In the course of this journey, the media concerned mutually invade, help and influence each other.

Ten scenes, six stops on a journey.
No way back.
Too Close To Return.

Open Challenge / Open Moment Artistic Research: Hell as paradise as hell
An appalling investigation

Tue 25. Oct. 2011 - 18.00 TQW / Studios
www.tqw.at

Life, death and the life hereafter. Discipline, punishment and reward. The archaic metaphors of heaven and hell continue to live as still functioning structures in ideologies and management of our societies. But in surprisingly many and important areas the supposed opposites can merge. And what is for example extolled as redemption leads in reality to damnation. On the margins of this merging, a group of artists and theoreticians invited to the Tanzquartier Wien by the collective of the Vienna dance website CORPUS (www.corpusweb.net) and the Austrian Film Archive undertake an intensive investigation of the infernal. The participants in this research project will penetrate the grey areas and illusions of the exploitation of values, more closely investigate the interpretive parameters of suffering or happiness and likewise to what extent the common political animal is possessed or blessed by satanic or angelic metres.

EIKON announced a Europe-wide competition for photography on the subject of prohibitions in the space of art. This competition was directed at all those who think the discussion of conventions is important when it comes to dealing with art or our behavior within spaces dedicated to art. An expert jury well-chosen the best works, which will be shown in a three-week exhibition at Leopold Museum in Vienna.

Art is “fragile;” “do not touch;” or “do not cross the line” surrounding an artwork. But the space for the beholders behind the line is also subject to certain rules of behavior. That our approach to art is ruled by conventions becomes clearly visible when we consider the capacity for critique attributed to art and the refusal of regulation. If the art space is public, debate is broadened, and comes to focus on attitudes about the freedom to act in cultural space. This competition understands itself as an international contribution to the debate, as a platform for the exchange on restrictive relations in the supposedly free space of art.

Opening: 27.01.2011, 5 pm
Burgenländische Landesgalerie Eisenstadt

Opening Speech: Dr. Heinz Fischer

The exhibition reflects Liszt’s great interest in art, literature and music, which he cultivated also through lively exchange with artists and intellectuals of his time.

At the eu-art-network symposium 2010, which was held at the Cselley Mühle in Oslip, numerous European artists focused specifically on the European artist Franz Liszt. A selection of their works will be exhibited at the Gallery of the Province of Burgenland. Subsequently the exhibition will go on tour through Europe.
