FAR – festival of art as research
Information
WHEN?
07. – 14. 05. 2012
WHERE?
Bahnhof e.V. ● Am Bahnhof 2 ● 28870 Ottersberg ● Germany
The Festival will take place in an extraordinary setting.
The old train-station building of Ottersberg, Northern Germany, is a place where young artists live and work together. It’s a place of experimentation and research. It offers the possibility to work in a number of different spaces (the former warehouse, in a circus tent, outside). The non-profit project is completely self-governed. Community and art are the central topics. We invite you to experience this inspiring and unique place.
WHO?
The festival of art as research calls all artists who are interested in researching about the phenomenon “translation” in an interdisciplinary exchange.
Food and Accommodation
We will provide free food and accommodation throughout the week.

We ask you to start your artistic investigation of the phenomenon TRANSLATION before the festival. You are free in the choice of medium. We invite you to incorporate ideas and practices, which you’re already working on.

performance… video… painting…music…dance….theatre…clown…photo…or combinations…
Your project should be described in a rough outline paper and sent with your application.
Images, videos, recordings that give an impression of your artwork are welcome.
We are eager to receive your applications and looking forward to an exciting and inspiring research with you!
We also invite artists to participate in the festival as a part of the off-programme.
If you are not taking part in the intensive research-programme we offer the possibility to show artworks approaching the topic TRANSLATION during the festival.
