Konkurss jaunāko ES dalībvalstu māksliniekiem University of Paris Sorbonne Les Déboussolées, is a group of students from the university Paris IV Sorbonne, completing their master’s degree in Master CIMER. We aim at promoting young artists from Central, Eastern and Balkan Europe through an exhibition project. Deadline: 31th December, 2010.
The project “Create Europe, create your hope”. This theme will serve as a starting point for an artistic project which will be presented in the guise of a poster. We wish do present the most various and contemporary ways of expression. It may take the form of a photo or a graphic piece. There are no rights or wrongs answers. The only imperative: Creativity.
Objective We noticed the fact that, twenty years after the fall of The Berlin Wall, Western Europe still seems unaware of what happens “on the other side”. Despite the growing importance of Central, Eastern and Balkan Europeans countries, their voices are rarely heard. Presently we believe that they have an essential role to play in Europe‘s construction. This is why we have conceived this project as a gallery/forum where all views of what Europe should be can be expressed. These posters must have a new, innovative and different look on Europe.
