<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Show Your Colours is based on the cross pollination and interaction between visual artists. The initiative comes from a Belgian artist Marjan Verhaeghe. The /1 edition of the project was shown in Wieze (2011, Space for actual art Villa de Olmen, Be), the /2 edition in Lausanne (2012, Musée Espace Arlaud, Ch), the /3 edition was presented in Assen (2015, SMAHK, Nl). Each time she invited some artists to join the project. Show Your Colours has now developed to an interaction between artists from Lithuania, Switzerland, The Netherlands , South Korea - The Netherlands, Great-Britain, Germany and Belgium.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">There is an affinity between the participating artists, though they come from different countries, different socio-cultural backgrounds, vary in age and experience, work in different media.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In each edition the participants got to know each other during a first meeting. They joined the project to discuss and share in a confidential way ideas, concepts and process.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The artists meet a few times on location. The rest of the action is virtual and takes place in their own studios. Via (private) blog, mail & skype we keep contact.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Show Your Colours is the theme. The intention is that the participating artists inspire each other while discussing this sentence. In order to find new points of view in their usual way of thinking and working, to deepen their proper artistic ways, to create new work. During the last phase all artists gather on location to find the best location and presentation for each work. This way both, the individual works and the exhibition itself, will benefit.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Confrontation with the public is important. An exhibition has an extra value one can’t get in virtual galleries: the tactile, visible, measurable aspect. Therefore it’s important to find a right presentation location: the exhibition is not only about the works shown, but also about the concept behind it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">On one hand this way of working offers the participants "tools" to create interesting works, strong in form and content, with a renewing or strengthening aspect in their own oeuvre.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">On the other hand there is the intention to generate communication. Interest in the story of the other artists, their background and their way of working, is the base of a cooperation with an international value.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The project is defined by its length and caracterized by enthusiasm.</span></div>

while ago Dutch artist Wilma Vissers (whom I only knew via a mutual friend)
mailed me about an exhibition she curated. I replied and told her about the
project Show Your Colours. We talked a while about the concept and
possibilities. And from that point on there was an opportunity to launch SYC/3
in The Netherlands. Wilma contacted some artists she knows and invited them to
participate in the project. Again artists with different cultural backgrounds
and ages, working in different media. They didn't know each other.</span></span></span></div>

<div align="justify" dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">Le projet </span></div>
<div align="justify" dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">SHOW YOUR COLOURS est basé sur une collaboration internationale avec des artistes de Lituanie, de Suisse, des Pays-Bas et de Belgique. Des contactes qui proviennent de mes coopérations nationales et internationales. Ils ne se connaissaient pas.</span></div>
<div align="justify" dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<div align="justify" dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">En 2010, Les artistes sont invités à participer à un workshop virtuel. Via un blog (privé) et le mail, nous avons échangés des idées et des pensées; chaque entrée a été questionnée, repensée et stimulée. Je leur ai donné des impulsions. Grâce au partage de toutes les idées, chacun pouvait développer une idée innovante pour une nouvelle œuvre sans penser uniquement à son propre medium ou à une éventuelle faisabilité. Un des buts de ce projet est de trouver un concept, qui est en même temps reconnaissable et en même temps nouveau sur le plan technique, thématique, plastique. Au moment où chacun s’est retiré dans son atelier afin d’ élaborer son propre concept, le contact virtuel s’ est concentré sur l’échange des progressions. </span></div>
<div align="justify" dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">La confrontation avec le public est importante. La présentation réelle a une valeur spécifique qu’on ne peut pas trouver dans le virtuel: le tangible, le visible, la relation réelle. </span></div>
<div align="justify" dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">La présentation d’un tel projet demande une location spécifique qui donne aussi valeur aux intentions du groupe et aux recherches des artistes.</span></div>
<div align="justify" dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">Le but de ce projet est duel. D’ une part, il offre des ‘outils’ aux participants pour développer des créations intéressantes et en même temps innovantes / puissantes dans leur propre langage artistique. D’autre part, le projet offre la possibilité de créer des liens entre des artistes que je respecte et qui viennent de différents pays, sont d’ âges différents et pratiquent des disciplines différentes. </span></div>
<div align="justify" dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">Le temps et un enthousiasme constant ont amené le projet à être présenté dans un lieu dédié à l’art contemporain.</span></div>
<div align="justify" dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<div align="justify" dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">Novembre 2011. VILLA DE OLMEN, ESPACE POUR L’ART CONTEMPORAIN, nous invitait et nous donnait carte blanche pour présenter les œuvres dans son bâtiment classé. Tous les artistes sont venus pour apporter une attention particulière à la dernière étape du projet: la présentation. C’est à ce moment là qu’ ils se sont rencontrés pour la première fois.</span></div>
<div align="justify" dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">En 2012. VISARTE.VAUD invite le projet à Lausanne. Un deuxième volet de ce projet se déroule alors de la même façon avec des artistes suisses. Pour l’ intervention dans l’ESPACE ARLAUD, nous avons opté pour une nouvelle présentation mêlant les créations des deux groupes afin d’obtenir une identité forte et unie.</span></div>
<div align="justify" dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">Sur le blog www.showyourcolours-presentation.blogspot.com vous pouvez trouver toutes les informations concernant le but de ce projet et les photos des œuvres présentées. Vous y trouverez aussi les informations sur les artistes.</span></div>marjanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00522238828400913522noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-912409804196455859.post-51851600673606321932011-11-14T00:10:00.000-08:002020-05-12T05:59:11.443-07:00art. in pers / press SYCvirtueel / virtual, in Dutch <br />

Via (private) blog en mail werden denkbeelden en gedachten uitgewisseld. Alle input werd bevraagd en herdacht. Mijn bijdrage bestond erin om de creativiteit van de deelnemers af en toe te verleiden door impulsen op de blog te zetten en door op Socratische wijze te bevragen. De bedoeling was dat de kunstenaars dieper zouden ingaan op het eigen artistiek parcours of een nieuwe invalshoek zouden vinden in de gebruikelijke manier van denken en werken.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: 120%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-hyphenate: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; vertical-align: middle;">

Interactie met publiek is belangrijk. Een concrete tentoonstelling heeft een extra waarde die je via internet niet kan aanbieden: het tastbare, zichtbare, meetbare aspect. Het vinden van een juiste plek luistert dan ook nauw; zowel de werken als de achterliggende samenwerking moeten belicht worden. </span></div>

Anderzijds wilde ik graag communicatie tot stand brengen. Een interesse in de werkwijze en in het verhaal van kunstenaars met een andere achtergrond en werkzaam in een ander medium is de basis voor een samenwerking die internationaal ook iets te betekenen heeft. De tijd en het niet aflatende enthousiasme hebben het project gestuwd.</span></div>

Alle kunstenaars werden uitgenodigd om over te komen en samen de juiste plek voor elk werk te bepalen. De kunstenaars ontmoeten elkaar voor het eerst in realiteit tijdens de opstelling van de werken. Samen zochten we naar de juiste plek en voldoende ademruimte voor elk werk. </span></div>

Via (private) blog and mail we exchanged ideas and thoughts; each input has been questioned, rethought and teased. My input was to seduce the creativity every now and then by putting some items on the blog and by questioning the Socrates’ way. The idea behind this interaction is to get deeper into one’s own artistic work or to find another angle in one’s way of working and perception. </span></div>

An effective presentation has a surplus value you can’t get via the web: the touchable, visible, measurable aspect. It’s important to find the right place to present these new works.; for the artists <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>as well as for the public.
