The temporary duo of a Czech and a Hungarian artist will realize a performance written especially for the +3dB Festival. András Blazsek: audio, Martin Blažíček: video.

The automatic sound of the tape recorders will be amplified by electronic tools and computer, and the digitalized images, from 16 and 35 mm film, will be screened beside. All of the visual and audial informations are converted from analog to digital, and this change, this “noise” gives the base for both of the artists.

Panel discussion with the initiation of the last year students of ELTE Art History Institute, including the aim of generating a communicational platform between young artists and art historians with the active participation of the audience. The topic of the discussion are the theoretical questions implied by the Festival, as interpretational possibilities and limits of the artistic practices on the borderline between music and fine art. We invite the audience for a collective disputation.

The meeting is part 4 of the This Is Paper! event series

Organiser: Studio of Young Artists Association (FKSE), klorofill independent publishing house

—

This Is Paper! is addressed to everyone who love paper “just because” – be it small or large, coloured, patterned, shaped, folded, hole punched or perforated, be it drawing paper, writing paper, aquarelle paper, tracing paper, photocopied or faxed paper; notebooks – notes and sketches; books – even with a colour-changing cover; pencils – graphite and colour; pens – ink and ballpoint, paints and Japanese or Chinese ink.

How do we use paper today? The event series – through its exhibitions and professional art meetings – offers insight into the working method of Hungarian and international artists as well as the questions that hold current interest for them. It tells the story of paper – its history, how it is manufactured, the types of paper and special printing technologies that exist – and introduces participants to graphics techniques and drawing tools. It presents various types of publications – booklets, newspapers, magazines and books – mostly concentrating on the works of independent publishers.
