Fiction worshop with Sarah Van Arsdale
June 1st – June 14th
June 16th – June 30th
This workshop is designed to help you free the reigns and allow your
subconscious to go to work, so that you can dive more deeply into character and story. Each class will have time for writing exercises, for discussion of various points of writing such as setting, dialogue, and description, and for critiquing one another’s work. Together we’ll create an atmosphere of friendly criticism, with the intention of encouraging the writers to say that which is most important to them. We’ll take the work seriously, but we’ll do it with great good humor.

Beginners and more experienced writers are welcome; you can use the workshop either to generate ideas or to work on something already in progress.

Creating environment with Elisabeth Woods
July 1st – July 15th
This workshop program will opens debate and stimulates a far-reaching interpretation of our environment.

This fortnight will bring together, in a spirit of cooperation and respect, people who would like to work in nature or in-situ and would like to expand upon their practice or just beginning to develop their concepts.

Sunt de origine Tg-Muresean nascut in 1952 si inca de copil m-a interesat in mod deosebit desenul. In clasa a V-a m-am hotarat sa devin artist plastic si incepand din clasa urmatoare m-am inscris la Liceul de Arte Plastice, apoi am continuat la „Andreescu” pictura Cluj, unde mi-am luat diploma in 1975. Paralel cu activitatea artistica am lucrat in invatamant ca profesor de desen si istoria artei. Din anul 1991 m-am stabilit in Budapesta, unde pana in prezent imi continui dubla activitate de artist plastic si pedagog. M-am gandit mult asupra intrebarilor esentiale cum ar fi de ce pictez, ce inseamna pentru mine pictura si am ajuns in ultima instanta la urmatoarele concluzii destul de grave si anume: Pictez din egoism si din frica de moarte. Pictura este sansa mea la existenta. Cred in pictura si in nemurire.

ABOUT THE INSTITUTION

Center sodobnih umetnosti Celje (Center for Contemporary Art Celje) is
a not-for-profit organisation founded in 2004 with the main mission to
initiate, develop and promote contemporary visual arts in the local,
regional and international context, as well as to re-articulate and
re-contextualize the heritage of local conceptual and post-conceptual
practices that make the foundations of the Center’s activity.

Situated only one hour from the capital city of Ljubljana, and being
one of the most representative institutions for the production and
display of contemporary visual arts in the Stajerska region of
Slovenia, the Center represents a creative hub devoted to arts,
culture and theory, as experienced in the specific conditions of
current social, political, and economic situation. Under the auspices
of the City Council of Celje and its Cultural Department, the Center
has been actively engaged in the project-based cultural programming in
cooperation with the partners across the region and beyond.

Center for Contemporary Art Celje is a complex of three exhibition
venues in the downtown area of Celje: Galerija sodobne umetnosti
(Gallery of Contemporary Art, since 1993), Likovni salon (Likovni
Salon Gallery, since 1963), and Galerija Racka (Racka Gallery, since
2006). One of the Center’s main activities is its Artist-in-Residence
programme (up to two months) initiated in 2005.

ABOUT THE OPEN CALL

Center for Contemporary Art Celje announces the International Open
Call for exhibition project proposals to be held in the Likovni Salon
Gallery in Spring 2009. The applications will be reviewed by a

Center for Contemporary Art Celje, and Marko Stamenkovic, independent
curator) and the results will be announced by 9 March 2009.

The Open Call is addressing contemporary visual artists, and

a solo-show proposal. The Call is not limited by any specific topic,
and is open to all media (painting, sculpture, installations,
photography, digital animation, sound-based art, video, interactive
and interdisciplinary projects). The priority in the selection
process will be given to the recent production that challenges a
social environment, engages and interact with various audiences and/or
communities. The Center for Contemporary Art Celje will provide the
travel and accommodation costs for the winning applicant, printed and
electronic invitations for the exhibition’s opening, and will publish
an exhibition catalogue.
