Aim

The aim of the International Experimental Competition in Visual Arts is best formulated by the following words of Jan Tarasin: “Art constantly repeats attempts” and “good artwork always stimulates.” The artworld is a dangerous expedition of imagination towards the immeasurable, unstable, and pulsating world of which we are part. Taming the imagination with the unbalanced, changing rhythm of dramatic conflicts and monotonous repetitions is done through openness to the relativism of perceiving space, time, boundaries, scale, and significance of micro-history. This also allows for attempts to convert the language of the conventional symbols into a suggestive expression of the autonomous forms and signs, to replace the static descriptions (…) with the experience of a dynamic spectacle. Relativism and risk – provoking the imagination – demand new, precise decisions, solutions, and arrangements.
