TIRANA, July 17 – Contemporary art and musical performance from Albanian and international arts will be featured for two days at the Porto Palermo 19th century castle in Vlora. Collectors and art lovers will also have the opportunity to purchase works of art that are part of Uncharted exhibition during the 2014 edition of the Art Kontakt Festival scheduled for August 8 to 9.
Uncharted is an unknown factor. It is a puzzle in which we attempt to use rational schemes and scientific rigor to offer a logical explanation of place.
The artists and selected works in this edition of the Art Kontakt Festival represent a pattern of artistic and spiritual practices that, in reflecting notions of geographic boundaries, become the focal points of this imaginary map.
“As in the Arboretum by David Byrne we try to create a mental map of an imaginary territory. In this place photographs, videos, drawings, installations and poetic conceptual performances, constitute the landscape of the artist’s mind. The ways in which these works come together, collide and intertwine diagrammatically outline the many facets of this festival,” organizers say.
