Serial Cases_1 Acquaintance
A series of 8 Screenings

Serial Cases_1 Acquaintance is a joint project of ten curators from eight countries. The collaboration amongst these curators was started with the MSE (Middle and South-Eastern Europe) meeting organized by < rotor > in Graz during steirisc[:her:] herbst 2004. The idea was shaped by examining ways of collaboration and communication based on mutual experiences shared through art works. Since cultural exchange amongst different geographies can expose similar experiences and parallel histories, critical and significant cases may solely be traced in the course of “specific” art works. Such works evidently inhabit “communicative aspects” and therefore, have the potential to propose alternative channels to any kind of global communication medium for receiving and sharing information. This project aims to detect such works and to construct links between various geographies through exceptional discoveries.

The first stage of Serial Cases is being presented in November and December 2005 as an exchange Video Screening Program in eight different cities.

The Bulgarian Program of Serial Cases_1 Acquaintances is curated by Galia Dimitrova of InterSpace Media Art Centre that organizes the presentation of the whole project in Bulgaria.
