Share Festival programme is now on-line.
As customary, the heart of the festival revolves around the Share Prize, this year presenting six digital art works exploring the theme Open Your City.
On the opening night, the curtains will also be raised on two special film exhibitions, which will be screened throughout the festival. The photos of the opening.
Against the magnificent backdrop of the Regional Museum of Natural Science, Mirjam Struppek will be presenting Dancing Hands, a selection of short films in which hands silently speak to us, becoming the dancing symbols of actively creating, liberating and helping hands. Artists and designers tell us stories surrounding the image of this powerful tool and its meaning for life. The festival will also be screening a selection of videos from the Japan Media Art Festival.
The Share Prize exhibition and the two film screenings will be open to the public at the Regional Museum of Natural Science from 30th October to 11th November, 10 am–7 pm, in Via Giolitti 36.
Besides the screening video “Dancing Hands” will be visibile at RAT, Via San Massimo 7B, Turin.
On Friday 2nd November to celebrate the centenary of the birth of John Cage (1912–1992), Jasmina Tesanovic presented the film of Belgrade pianist Nada Kolundzija’s celebrated performance, while giving her own freely inspired Cage performance with the participation of the Share Festival audience.
