HTMlles Festival
From the 19th-29th of October 2006, a program of artworks and artists that participated in the 7th edition of the HTMlles festival themed Peripheries + Proximities will travel to 3 cities: Belgrade, Serbia Sofia, Bulgaria and Istanbul, Turkey with the goal of fostering new dialog and collaborations. Through a series of focused encounters, interactive workshops, artists talks, performances and short exhibitions, the traveling Canadian artists and their works will encounter numerous curators, gallerists, cultural operators, local artists and local publics in each of the 3 cities.
The touring works will be presented in parallel to programming produced by local partners and translated in English and in the respective local languages. All events are open to the public, including the interactive workshops.
The HTMlles Festival is an ongoing project of StudioXX, Montreal, Canada’s foremost women’s digital resource centre, in operation since 1995. The HTMlles Festival, started as an annual event focused on the position of women in cyberspace, has now evolved to become an international biennial project which includes all facets of new media and web art technologies. The Montreal events now stand as a globally known meeting place for women and feminists working in creative digital mediums and the addition of circulation projects has created an international network for Canadian new media artists.
Following the EXPORT2 tour, the next HTMlles biennial event will be held in October 2007, in Montreal. As a major international event, the HTMlles Festival seeks submissions from international artists and academics and collaborations with international curators, and cultural operators. visit the website for further details.
