In Vilnius, Lithuania from 28 September to 6 October 2009 is presentation of international conceptual project "Talking doors" with curator Lithuanian artist Julijonas Urbonas. The project is part of the international program for Vilnius – European culture capital for 2009.
In the project's part "The Sounding door" after selection participate 17 artists from 10 countries. Italian project "Dindele Dondele" made by Paolo Vivian /performance/ and Luciano Olzer /sound editing/ with curator Dora Doncheva-Bulart is participating in the prestigious event. The audience is listening the italian sound installation from 28 September to 6 October in Central Lithuanian Academy of Music .
The sound art installation The Sounding Door explores the potential of the door’s sonic aesthetics. The special electronic equipment installed in the front door of the building of Lithuanian Academy of Music enables artistic projects from all of the world to sonify the act of opening or closing the door and the ritual of stepping over the threshold. The participating authors will shape the door’s sonic character, create the building’s “voice”, and make their contribution to the city’s soundscape or just compose music for the door. The latter will become both the instrument and the stage, while the composers and the “users” of the door alike will act as performers. The selected compositions are playing by opening/closing the door augmented with specially integrated electronics..Participants are in the Talking Doors catalogue.

“Dindele dondele” project by Paolo Vivian
Curator : Dora Doncheva-Bulart; Participators: Paolo Vivian / musical adaptation,performance/, Luciano Olzer /sound editing, montage/
Technique: sound installation by church bells, ringing in Church “Saint George”, Serso di Pergine , Italy, 2009
"Dindele Dondele” project by Paolo Vivian is a result of his performance, realized during the patronal feast of St.George church in Serso di Pergine in Italy /2009/. Vivian enters into the role of bells ringer and goes back to the time, when the bells sound was part of the daily life of people, the assurance of religious freedom and joy. The project seeks changes in socio-religious attitudes and attempts to provoke reflection on taboo in it. The song of the bells of Vivian is a message for evolution of present religious behavior. The sound of the bells as a symbol of faith and it creates a mean for human contemporary communication. The project tries to delete culture borders and differences. The bell’s sound alikes a door to the new human, the human being of 21 century who can be open to difference and same time it is a door for insider space where lies our alter-ego, our voice for freedom. The sound installation /editing by Luciano Olzer/ transmits the Italian melody to different places in the world. It is a messenger of positive energy. It is a message to be free and to express faith and joy. Dora Doncheva –Bulart, curator

Italų menininkas provokuos lietuvių žiūrovus
Sostinės galerijoje „Actus magnus“ italų menininkas Paolo Vivian sekmadienio vakarą (liepos 12 d. 18.30 val.) pristatys projektą „Ding dong. Koncertas įsimylėjėliams“, kuriuo provokuos susirinkusius žiūrovus atvirai išreikšti savo jausmus.
Paolo Vivian – vienas iš Bulgarijos galerijos „Bulart“, dalyvaujančios tarptautinėje meno mugėje „ArtVilnius‘09“, autorių. Perfomansą „Ding dong. Koncertas įsimylėjėliams“ menininkas pristatyts ir mugės metu, tačiau sekmadienį žiūrovams jis pateiks specialiai galerijai „Actus magnus“ adaptuotą projektą. Lankytojus jau einant į galeriją vedančiu tuneliu pasitiks ant sienų eksponuojamos meninės fotografijos iš įvykusių perfomansų ir itališkų varpų garsai – įrašas iš menininko gimtojo miesto bažnyčios, kurioje varpais skambino pats Paolo Vivian.
Taip pat bus eksponuojami jau įvykusių perfomansų įrašai ir objektai. Projekto pagrindinis akcentas – gyvas menininko perfomansas, kurį pats autorius linkęs vadinti žaidimu – jis specialiais varpeliais skambins žinomą vaikų dainelę, o norintys lankytojai bus pakviesti pabučiuoti vienas kitą. Projekto kuratorė Dora Doncheva – Bulart atkreipia dėmesį, jog projekto pavadinime esantis žodis „įsimylėjėliai“ turi platesnę reikšmę nei vyro-moters meilė. „Tai meilė plačiąja prasme, tad pabučiuoti galima ir savo vaiką, brolį, tėvus ar keturkojį augintinį“, - sako ji.
Aiškindamas projekto idėją Paolo Vivian pasakoja, jog jis buvo sukrėstas, kiek daug žmonių prisidengia išoriniu religingumu, lankosi bažnyčioje, tačiau iš tiesų nesilaiko deklaruojamų tiesų mylėti savo artimą. Jis į viską bando pažvelgti su ironija, tad siūlo savotišką žaidimą – varpais skambina vaikišką dainelę, provokuoja džiugesį ir atvirą jausmų reiškimą.
Žiūrovai į perfomansą kviečiami apsirengti baltai ir atsinešti varpelių ar skambaliukų. Paklaustas, kaip elgsis, jei santūrieji lietuviai nebus linkę bučiuoti vienas kito, menininkas šypsosi ir tvirtina, kad prievarta niekas verčiamas nebus, o projekto kuratorė sako, jog žiūrovams net „aktyviai“ nesudalyvavus projekte, bus įdomu išgirsti ir išbandyti specialius varpelius, kuriais gros menininkas.

Campane italiane suonano alla fiera ARTVILNIUS / x /
Vilnius, la capitale europea della cultura per 2009, nel luglio ospita il più grande evento artistico nel regione del Baltico - La prima Fiera Internazionale per l'arte contemporanea ARTVILNIUS. Le più importanti gallerie private degli Stati Baltici, insieme con le principali gallerie d'arte provenienti da Germania, Ungheria, Bulgaria, Russia, Portogallo, Svizzera, Danimarca, Islanda, Polonia, Austria, Grecia, Romania, India, Armenia, Francia, Finlandia, Svezia e altri presentato di oltre 450 artisti internazionali.
Il suono delle campane fa parte del "Dindele dondele campanò" progetto dell'artista italiano Paolo Vivian. Il progetto e presentato nello spazio della Galleria Bulart / Varna, Bulgaria / nel LITEXPO dove si svolge il forum. Paolo Vivian / 1962 /, è noto con la sua ricerca artistica nel campo della memoria collettiva. A Vilnius presenta una ricerca in chiave contemporanea sull'atteggiamento religioso dei nostri giorni. Attraverso l'installazione interattiva, fotografia e video, l'artista gioca con i tradizionali concetti e simboli religiosi. "Dindele dondele campanò" è il risultato della performance realizzata durante la festa patronale di San Giorgio a Serso / Italia /. In questa perfomance Vivian entra nel ruolo di spettatore - suonatore e va indietro nel tempo, quando il suono delle campane era nella vita quotidiana delle gente, l'espressione della libera comunicazione religiosa e la gioia. Il gioco di Vivian segue la tradizione, ma anche lui mette un segno sul carattere formale dei nostri giorni. Il suono delle campane oggi non comunicano la gioia religiosa, ma si tratta di una attività di routine della chiesa, non disponibile per tutti. Il progetto cerca i cambiamenti nella mentalità socio-religiosa e cerca di provocare la riflessione sui tabù in essa. La canzone delle campane di Vivian ha un preoccupante messaggio per l'uomo dei nostri giorni che vive nei limiti di socium e sociale dottrina. La canzone di campane è anche un messaggio di riforma per l'evoluzione del comportamento religioso,allarme di ri-evoluzione. Un messaggio per seguire le tradizioni, ma rimanendo liberi ... L'artista mette questi simboli religiosi dentro oggetti cubici cromati , i quali diventano nuovi segni per trasformare la memoria collettiva . Le piccole campane sono parte integrante dell'installazione, che consente al pubblico di partecipare al gioco e costruire un tempio, in cui l'espressione di gioia e di sentimento religioso non deve essere sacrilegio.
Provocante, nostalgico e pieno di speranza, il progetto di Paolo Vivian di trasportare i pezzi della memoria collettiva dai tempi antichi ai nostri giorni. L'artista mescola le culture le ed elemina le frontiere. Vilnius in Lituania e Serso in Italia sono collegate con la memoria collettiva di fede e di gioia. E le campane continuano a cantare senza preoccuparsi delle limitazioni che ci siamo imposti, noi persone dei nostri giorni. Perché, come l'ironico artista afferma nel testo del progetto: "Dindele dondele campanò, Torta si e crauti no... " Piccola filastrocca che anch'essa voleva rompere con il consueto pasto, i crauti, per la più buona e dolce torta …”
Paolo Vivian / 1962, Serso di Pergine, Italia / lavora nel campo del oggetto, scultura, installazione e video. Ha partecipato a numerose mostre, festival internazionale, progetti curatoriali e simposi internazionali in Italia, Bulgaria, Francia, Olanda, Lussemburgo, Finlandia e Germania.

the gallery project. i want to be bigger. video installation.matthias biermann

" The videoinstallation “ I want to be bigger” is a play with sizes, relations and meanings.First we have the box, which the artist named THE GALLERY. The box is open, but still a room for itself. If you see the open box in a usual art exhibition space, the box appears like a miniature of the surrounding area; a white cube in a white cube. It is a very small meaningless room and object. The visitor focuses the room, the object, to make a difference to the surrounding area. Of course focusing something small, means to make the same thing bigger. Looking on the inside of THE GALLERY, we see a little white doll without head. Inside the small box the doll appears big, but in relation to the surrounding outside of the box, the doll appears small. Behind, on the videoscreen, in the gallery box, we see a speaking head, perhaps the missing head of the doll in front of the screen. In relation to the doll and the gallery box , the head on the screen is really big, so that the body of the doll nearly disappears in the speaking head. But In relation to a real human head, the head on the screen is small and also the whole installation is small. So ,while change from an interior view to an exterior view we can perhaps understand, that the head repeats only one sentence: “I want to be bigger”. " Matthias Biermann

Matthias Biermann was born 1965 in Berlin ,Germany. He has gratuated in german language and literature studies, Saarbrucken, Manheim, Berlin /1986-1989/ and art studies in HDK Berlin /1990-1996/. Lives and works in Berlin.

SAMPLES OF REALITY, collages by Kaloyan Iliev -Kokimoto

"Rebelling against the deceivable present of the past in one manipulative reality and its connection with the present day political and economical global worldwide changes, I build “samples of reality” which are in a process of hardening while the future is coming closer.
Besides, any thought – shape could be demolished and changed before it has got harder, in 3D as in concrete reality. Man can and should change the world, and this is possible only if he shows activity….Once “fixed and settled” the event cannot be changed. It is dependent explicitly on us when and how this could happen! ". Kaloyan Iliev – Kokimoto.

Kaloyan Iliev -Kokimoto was born in 1979, Varna,Bulgaria. Graduated MA in Graphics at the Faculty of Fine Arts in St. Cyril and St. Methodius University of Veliko Turnovo, Bulgaria /2007/ and Specialization from the Graphic Art Department at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz, Poland /2008/.
