   [R]-[R]-[F] - Festival

It is so far!
A Virtual Memorial
receives a festival of itsown!!!

The February 2003 edition
is entirely dedicated to this new online New Media event,
entitled
[R]-[R]-[F] - Festival
'Remembering-Repressing-Forgetting'.

[R]-[R]-[F] - Festival
will be an ongoing and experimental (in many ways)
online project to be presented in virtual and
physical exhibition and festival environments.

The festival will include artists/art works on two major levels:
1.
invited curators in the fields of art and New Media
who select and curate artists/artworks of their choice
according the conception and subjects of the festival
-remembering-repressing-forgetting -
2.
artists selected and curated by Agricola de Cologne
based on an open call in Internet.

The intermediate result of the first phase
(1st invitation series to curators)
can be currently listed in form
of the names of several invited/confirmed curators:

Prof. Dr. Wilton Azevedo (Sao Paulo, Brazil)
Stefano Caldana (Barcelona, Spain)
Fernando Garcia Delgado (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
Anna Hatziyiannaki (Athens, Greece)
Eugeny Umansky (Kaliningrad, Russia)
Celine Harlet (Rennes, France)
Branca Bencic (Croatia)
Fran Ilich (Mexico)
Caterina Davinio (Italy)

Some further confirmations will follow.

It is the meaning to invite and add at a later stage new curators
from different countries and their contributions
for participating in future project versions.

**Now in the second phase, submissions to be received via an open call in
Internet
will serve Agricola de Cologne as a resource for selecting and curating.

**Artists who would like to participate, are kindly invited to go to
the start page of www.a-virtual-memorial.org
where they can find the call, the terms and the submissions form.
This call is online since 3 February 2003!
Deadline 31 March 2003**

The third phase, will be the creation of a specific
dynamic artistic online environment, eg new types of memory fields
where the curators' contributions will be embedded in.
It will be a step by step development
which allows to feature the curators' contributions.

The fourth phase will represent the ongoing aspect
as it is planned to execute
major changes and add new aspects of experimenting
in each new presentation/project version.

It is planned to launch
[R]-[R]-[F] - Festival
in May 2003 online.
