Deux visions à priori opposées — pour ne pas dire inconciliables — de ce que représente un sanctuaire. C’est ce que nous proposent Éric Dupuis et Sol Lang avec leur essai photographique intitulé « Sanctuaires ».

Vernissage le mercredi 19 mai, à 17 h.

Opposed at the outset — almost irreconcilably — here are two visions of what a sanctuary represents. That is what Éric Dupuis and Sol Lang are proposing with their photographic essay entitled “Sanctuaries”.

Opening on Wednesday, May 19th, at 5 p.m.

( http://invasionart.blogspot.com/ This is the link where you will find everything that is happened on the 03.30.2009 at 1:00 a.m. in 21 towns of Italy)

This project has been created to ensure artists from around the world to cooperate, for the first time in history, to the realization of a great performance. The will of the artists of collaboration and communicating with the city, of incorporating all the forms of Art in a single performance, and the desire to wipe out the monotony of the urban life have developed the idea of the city as a living art in all its forms and the citizens not as just a simple audience.The invasion of Our Lady ART, on the March 30 2009, has seen 21 cities of Italy to dive into a thrilling adventure, having fun and celebrating the pure culture. Now Our Lady ART restarts and raises its game, making it more complicated. All the forms of art will encroach in a synchronized way between themselves and the cities, cities that are increasing day by day, and are not only Italian: the artists will work together as a real team.
Anyone who wish to enjoy the project have to follow the rules in order to avoid problems of legal nature: he should not produce works on condominium structures, unless he has had a written permission by the condominium itself.
The matter is that we must not endanger passers with our works… in short, we must not be attacked by the law … we must “walk on the razor’s edge” … anyone who will not comply with these rules will take charge of his work, and he will not be considered an artist of the project “Invasion of Our Lady ART: reloaded.”
Our mission is to invade the city to defend it from the decadence and we do it because of the lack of free spaces where share our art.
This installation exists to share the Art with everybody, because the culture is for everyone and not for the few. This invasion will be with all the arts: painting, music, sculpture, theatre, dance and poetry. The arts will be united in all its forms to create a great work, and the city will participate in the performance with an active rule, not only as a user.

After you have enjoyed the group, you can find below the contact-coordinator of your town, who will explain what is the topic of the performance and how to proceed.
The art does not soil, doesn’t hurt, doesn’t replace, doesn’t pollute, doesn’t offend: the art is a gift, loved or contested. Art is life.
Despite the usual places of exposure rather archaic and canonical … the world goes on … than we change the conception of an art exhibition.

Organization:
In every city you must create a collective with a coordinator, who will be in charge of it, about the feasibility of the installation and about the identifying of the urban areas to invade…
There will be necessaire to have a member responsible for the public relations with the press, and will care to publicize the event with photos and video on the Media.

The invasion of our lady ART: reloaded will happen in March.
The project may attend all the art forms…we have to know that our creations can be destroyed or stolen…is the performance itself that is the work, with its installation around the globe (date and time to be determined ).
Some days before the performance, from every city, we shall leave a press release to the press and the other medias, with whom decide how to realese the news. The statement will clarify the reasons, the artists and those who worked on the project, show the streets of our installations, and than, the cities will become big galleries of contemporary art.
It is important to structure the group with 2 or 3 coordinators, for the press, and the video cameras.
Each city will create iits own video, and the national coordinator will create the video that contains videos of the whole performances.

P.A. Who participates in the invasion of Our Lady Art is not a fool but an artist, we do not throw balls from the stairs, we non-colored fountains, we do not blur property of others, we do not damage anything, not stain, do not put in danger, we create and give to everyone, even those who do not have time to visit a gallery, access to art in everyday life. They will experience art while doing the shopping, while going to work, while bringing kids to school … we are helping the city to live better through coloring and embellishing it, making it less monotonous and more enjoyable … art is life, life is art.
