ABOUT THE PROJECT
RE - USE Project
International multidisciplinary approach in art creation
Project abstract:
Young talents in visual art -
sculpture do not have sufficient support and conditions
for their creation, be it in terms of new opportunities for creation in public
space or access to material and technical facilities, due to high costs related
to sculpture creation. In reaction to this situation, the main aim of the
project RE-USE „Role of Visual - Sculpture Art
Creation in the Context of Sustainable Behaviour“ implemented by
three partners from Czechia, Italy, Slovakia, and in cooperation with Iceland is
to foster art creation of young talents in order to help them to develop
their career in full respect of their creative talent and ambitions.
The objective of the project is first to provide
support to young talents in their career helping to tackle the obstacles on
the labour market. It introduces innovative approaches and stimulates
international multidisciplinary co-creation, by connecting talents and
experts from other disciplines. Second, in the context of the call´s priorities
the project addresses the topic of sustainable behaviour of young
talents. Third, general public as the audience of visual art in open
space will be approached by the theme of the climate change consequences
in the area they live in and beyond through the topic of sustainable
clothing. Created artworks will serve as a medium with a potential to boost
a behavioural change.
Main themes the project aims to address:
- Impact of climate change on the environment (nature and cities)
- Nature and Art - transdisciplinary approach towards artistic and research practice
- Climate change and mass tourism
- Sustainable textile industry
- Importance of culture and artistic life in cities, identity of cities
- Sustainable behaviour in daily life of everyone
