Artivistic: TURN*ON

Reviewed by Gabriel Menotti on Furtherfield.

This year's edition of Artivistic (Montreal 15-17 October), brings the 
fields of art, politics and academia together under the theme of TURN*ON 
- according to its curatorial statement, 'a fragile bridge extending, 
over a valley of which the depth you cannot see, to a life centered on 
pleasure, consciousness, togetherness, understanding, and joy'.

Artivistic is an international transdisciplinary three-day gathering on 
the interPlay between art, information and activism. Artivistic emerges 
out of the proposition that not only artists talk about art, academics 
about theory, and activists about activism. Founded in 2004, the event 
aims to promote transdisciplinary and intercultural dialogue on activist 
art beyond critique, to create and facilitate a network of diverse 
peoples, and to inspire, proliferate, activate.

Gabriel Menotti (Brazil, 1983) is an independent curator and producer 
engaged with emerging media circuits. He has been involved with pirate 
movie screenings, remix film festivals, videogame championships, porn 
screenplay workshops, installations with super8 film projectors and 
generative art exhibitions. Currently, he is a PhD candidate at 
Goldsmiths (University London).
