CO City /Colorful City/ interactive art project
For
the developing countries like Georgia is now, the Europe is a an exemplary
, we are trying to organize our life and transform our cities on European
module, unfortunately in some cases blind imitation doesn’t works
or works in a bad ways. Moreover we get this examples in a distorted way
true the TV and other medias. We have to consider our national and mentally
specific, and of course soviet past. Many people doesn’t like it
and do all the best to throe it away, but it’ our past and we cant
just rub it off. Especially this past attend many interesting and beautiful
objects , like in architecture and many other spheres. Geographical aspect
also has it influence on our country developing.
Urban life has its own rules, and all the citizens follows these regulations,
so it has too be different classis, urban slums & fashion districts
.Doesn’t matter is it NY, London or Tbilisi, any town has it specifics,
poor and reach life , that ‘s why they are interesting to us. More
than huff of the city population choose their own life way, and only in
some cases there are some external reasons.
Global changes, world politic all involve new trends and needs as in whole
country as in individuals lives.
The most visible this changes are in the cities, especially if you live
in one of them.
Human are mutually contradictory itself , so it’s understandable
why we have a such different objects in same places. Like last time on
the threshold off the municipal elections, all houses are painting in
amazing colors, old houses of 18-19 centuries and soviet block districts
are full blossoming like field flowers. It look like kids colored magazine.
But instead of kids are our “ Big Men”. But is it really bad
? Who can solve it? Another “Big Men”? or maybe people, but
how do we know what people like? Ask them,
That’s why we decided to print a “painting magazine of your
city”. With images of your own city, you can colored them as you
wish. It will be also virtual version, like simple computer game: black
white map of your city , you can choose some famous buildings and color
them, or build your own on some empty spaces uses the given architectural
parts and objects. This way any citizen can feel himself as a piece of
urban reality. / still if it’s only virtual reality /
MULTIPLICITIES – PROJECT PRESENTATION
Introduction
to who we are
We are transitpassengers, an organisation that works with culture as a
weapon and a provocateur for discussion or quiet contemplation about the
world we share.
Transitpassengers has its background in three European countries, France,
Sweden and Switzerland and has recently travelled to meet contemporary
artists in their countries, Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Iran, Georgia
and Turkey.
Transitpassengers plans together with artists from Lahore, Bishkek, Tashkent, Teheran, Tbilisi and Istanbul to, with images, sounds and feelings examine our common urban life. Together we want to invite a wide public to enter into the urban lives of people from these six countries and their cities. We will enter these cities through the work of contemporary artists from these cities as well as works from transitpassengers.
The ideas behind the project:
Urban living and representation
How do we orient ourselves in this world? Through words, sounds and images
we explain, and try to communicate the world we live in and in this process
we also create reality. Words and images have the power to unite but also
to divide. Information technology and forces within the process of globalisation
also have this power. We can see both globally and locally how identities
are more than often created on projected differences. We use words and
images to create these differences. However, imperialism and globalisation
have meant that our existence and experience will never again be dependent
on just one society, one culture or Nation; actually it has never been
so throughout history. Every place is knotted together in a net that encompasses
all other places. Every human and every culture is a crossover of the
world’s traffic -maybe then we need to understand our cultural identity
through other metaphors. What words would you like to use to describe
the urban experience? Nostalgia, rich, poor, boredom, excitement, love,
hate, communication, conflict, home, homelessness, isolation, hectic,
confusion, loneliness, space, connexions, encounters, crossings, meeting
points, streets, parks…what do these words really mean? Do they
mean different things in different contexts? Maybe they do not.
Together with artists from Lahore, Bishkek, Tashkent, Tehran, Tbilisi and Istanbul we have tried to wander through the urban jungle and translate these words through places and people.
