Another New Media art project & initiative by Agricola de Cologne creator and director of The Network - http://www.nmartproject.net/ - focussed on media art in Cologne and from Cologne in a global context.
selfportrait - a show for Bethlehem
After presenting his global networking project
[R][R][F]2005—>XP - http://rrf2005.newmediafest.org/
in 2005 in Bethlehem/Palestine as an interactive media exhibition,
Agricola de Cologne, media artist and director of
[NewMediaArtProjectNetwork]:||cologne - http://www.nmartproject.net/
is invited to curate in 2006 another exhibition in
Bethlehem at Al Kahf Gallery/Bethlehem International Center
to be inaugurated in July 2006, 6 – 30 July
this time focussed on the classical theme of “selfportrait”,
but executed in New Media.
Through its relevance in three world religions,
Bethlehem was during more than 2000 years a symbol for peace also beyond,
but since some time Bethlehem and the entire Holy Land on the Westbank
is vanishing behind a huge wall as the result of a conflict in Middle East
which is threatening world peace since many years.
Just by being presented in Bethlehem -
://selfportrait - a show for Bethlehem -
it does not bring only the message of solidarity, but also the idea of a free and independent culture without borders, in this way the show becomes an action for supporting the effords for peace in Middle East.
Each artist involved becomes a messenger of peace!
