F.A.C.E. 2005 festival of alternative creative exchange Belgrade and Novi Sad, 10-28 August 2005 Call for artists F.A.C.E. is a meeting platform that allows 80 young European artists to look for a common language in order to go beyond the barrier of prejudices through several artistic disciplines during an international festival. The goal is to intervene in urban areas where networks of production and culture need to be rebuilt. The aim is to give our imagination the necessary means to rewrite the city as a ground for exchanges and contrasts. The festival functions as a workshop. The objective is to create new staging devices, to explore new relationships with the public, to develop means and methodologies enabling us to rethink our changing territories. F.A.C.E. is part of the Caravan project, initiated by the French association OKUP. • Caravan No1 took place in Sarajevo in April 2002. • Caravan No2 was held in Strasbourg in April 2003. These first exchanges started an exceptional cultural workshop between Bosnian, Serbian, French, Belgian and German artists. • F.A.C.E./Caravan No3 will take place in the Federal Republic of Serbia and Montenegro, and will travel from Belgrade to Novi Sad in August 2005. • Caravan No4 will be held in France one year later, moving from Strasbourg to Montreuil. The event will last for 16 days. The artists, coming from France, Holland, Serbia&Montenegru, Bosnia&Herzegovina, Bulgaria and Romania, will meet and work in the Serbian cities of Belgrade and Novi Sad. The central theme of the festival is “the city”. The participants are invited to work together in order to create site-specific works combining various artistic means (street performance, video art, installations, interactive exhibitions, etc) The festival fully occupies different places that will be rearranged in order to fit the artists’ intentions and to create a welcoming space for the public. In the framework of the festival a debate on the theme of “Mobility in art” will be organized. The festival in Novi Sad will be followed by presentations in Romania, Bulgaria, France and Holland.
