MAIN OBJECTIVES
The Finnish cultural association
AREFS taide ja kulttuuri ry
is during the pre-project preparing the international art project RURAL
CROSSROADS, co-operation with art organizations at site specific, rural rock
environs in different European countries like Spain, Turkey, Finland,
Latvia, Sweden, Ireland, Netherlands and others.
The final aim of RURAL CROSSROADS is to create a permanent platform to
investigate and exchange, collaborate and produce international
multidisciplinary dialogue in new forms of art production on exceptional
rural rock locations.
The final project RURAL CROSSROADS will add specific values to the
different locations and will initiate an inviting environment for innovative
and sustainable development based on the existing qualities of these
locations.
The partners have to be existing and equipped residencies, small and
personal, located in ecological sensitive environments, with original
solutions for art production and a close relationship with the local
society.
The artist co-operation in the final RURAL CROSSROADS program has to be based
on practical working with the same intention under similar conditions with
different specifics.
The local society will be active involved in the final RURAL CROSSROADS program
through special activities and presentations by the visiting artists. The
intensive contacts are important sources for cross-border experiences.
The cultural diversity and the specific areas of the different locations are
the sources for the collaboration of the artists. Their art and activities
will contribute to widen local views and give new perspective to the rural
circumstances in relation to the European identity.
The project can be found on the website of Rhiz.eu.
