Vesna Bukovec, SCCA-Ljubljana's webmaster is taking part at the art project entitled DVD Project. Opening screening will take place on Thursday, July 19th, 2012 at 10 p.m. at Art Stays main stage, Slovenski trg, Ptuj.

The ART STAYS International Festival of Contemporary Art, one of the most important contemporary art festivals in Europe, is celebrating its 10th anniversary and will bring together contemporary, mainly visual artists from all over the world.

This year's festival will be held under the slogan DISPLAY (screen/show!). The word display has many meanings, but all of them fit perfectly with the aim of the festival. It is a shopwindow, a space, and a dialogue that we opened with many artists who will come to Ptuj to display their work, carry out a performance, or be a part of our artist in residence programme to get creative in the oldest town in Slovenia.

DVD Project

DVD Project is an international video art project organized by the Stichting Idee-fixe foundation (IDFX).
