We shared urban feelings in 2006. In 2007 we challenged conflicts. This year the project has an open hearted dedication, being sent “...with love” to everybody.

Following the works done last years by artists from Romania, Moldova, USA, the Netherlands, UK, Spain, Germany, Palestine, Israel, Croatia and Turkey, in 2008 we expect the unconventional gallery on the walls of the Motoare Terrace to be completed – as in a cultural puzzle – with 20 more projects to be done by our Romanian and foreign guests.

“Puzzle Project, with love” 2008  is the 3rd edition. Once again, the annual theme is generous for both artists and visitors. In line with the previous ones, it is about diversity, universality and knowledge-acquired tolerance.

The workshop, the public open events and the Puzzle Project team’s kind invitation are good reasons for you to visit the Motoare Terrace, on top of the National Theatre in Bucharest between 15 and 22 June 2008.

20 young artists will be invited. For a week, each of them will paint in front of your eyes on a 1.6 per 3 m area on the outer wall.

As far as visitors are concerned, we’ll develop activities to stimulate their creativity and let them enjoy themselves while attending different workshops. Curious about what happened last two years? Please visit :   Puzzle Project 2006 and Puzzle Project 2007

 

 

Objectives:

The project is a statement of experiments and artistic expression from different parts of the world. Each year’s theme determines the artists to create links between the imaginary and the real world while under a common source of inspiration.
Being a succesion of editions, the event provides for an annual happening where artists from different cultures meet and build together a puzzle whose mirror-image is given by the diversity of the visitors on the terrace. Artists’ presence add up to the already cosmopolitan atmosphere of the place.

Another aims are to bring together creativity from different areas, to prove during a week art’s power of making people cross boundaries and to show the world what globalization should be about.

Each of the people involved in the project will dedicate their work, their time during this special week, their exeperince to the visitors on the terrace “... with love”.
