15 May 2013

Today, Wilfried is the 1st day in Tbilisi/Georgia and tomorrow the 3 days event CologneOFF 2013 Georgia will be starting at CCA - Contemporary Art Centre. Georgia is a strange country, it is said to belong to Europe, but once part of the Sovjet Union, Georgia is sitting between all chairs, it actually does not belong to anywhere, and those who feel for Europe leave the country - Wilfried finds the situation of art rather desastrous, and for new forms of technology based-also audiovisual art, young people have to leave the country and study in the European metropoles - at the end Wilfried is happy to leave the country - he likes the culture and the history but not the mentality of people - will his ambitious audiovisual program including Gioula Papadopoulou as a curator find an audience, at all? - read the complete article on - http://retro.newmediafest.org/15-may-2013/ - three of the nine programs are available streaming online - including videos by -
