[spectre] 16th VB + Solange Farkas at MAM-BA

["AssociaÁ“o Cultural Videobrasil"]

SOLANGE FARKAS TAKES OVER THE DIRECTION OF MAM-BA;
MEETING TO ELABORATE ON THE SUBJECT OF 16th VB

Solange Farkas, president of Associação Cultural Videobrasil and 
curator of the Videobrasil International Electronic Art Festival, is 
the new director of Museu de Arte Moderna da Bahia (MAM-BA).
The 16th Videobrasil Festival will be held at SESC Avenida Paulista 
October 1 through 25. Focusing on the relationship between cinema and 
contemporary art, the Festival will be preceded by a series of 
meetings to discuss its curatorial theme. The production of the 
Festival and of the SESC Videobrasil Meetings, and the 
creation/implementation of a new set of rules for MAM-BA will keep 
Farkas in transit between São Paulo and the capital of the state of 
Bahia in 2007. "This constant traveling is ultimately beneficial to 
both activities, bringing both circuits closer together and 
accelerating exchange," she said. Farkas' first project for MAM-BA-a 
historical institution located in the complex of colonial buildings 
'Solar do Unhão,' rediscovered and restored by architect Lina Bo 
Bardi in the 1960s-aims to devise strategies for facilitating 
interaction between artists, curators, museologists, educators, 
technicians, sociologists, musicians, historians, environmentalists, 
and researchers in other related fields, with the objective of 
turning the museum into a convergence center for contemporary 
artistic thinking and practices. Plans for encouraging video 
production include a residency program for visiting artists.
