Spotlight Festival: Over 20 artistic installations, October 10 - 12
Over 20 artistic installations from Romania and other European countries will be on display from October 10 to 12, during the ninth edition of the Spotlight Festival.
The theme of this edition - 'Symbiosis' - proposes a change of perspective: 'from competition to collaboration, from immediate results to living processes', the City Hall of the Capital informed on Friday. The curator will be the scenographer Adrian Damian.''
This year's route extends from Calea Victoriei to adjacent areas, to ARCUB - Hanul Gabroveni and to partner locations - Mega Mall and Promenada Mall. The program will start, each day of the festival, at 7:00 PM and end at 11:00 PM.
'Over 20 artistic installations from Romania and Europe will transform the urban space of the Capital into an interactive laboratory of light art. The edition's news: partnership with Lille Video Mapping Festival, conferences and panels with international guests, the launch of a database dedicated to Romanian artists in the field of light art and new media', PMB reported.
Spotlight, the first and largest light festival in the Capital, brings together over 300,000 participants annually.
'We want Bucharest to be a city that inspires and surprises, and through projects like Spotlight we demonstrate that our urban spaces can acquire new meanings and new stories. I invite Bucharest residents and visitors to enjoy the Capital of Light between October 10 and 12,' said the interim mayor of the capital, Stelian Bujduveanu.
Spotlight is held in partnership with Lille Video Mapping Festival, strengthening cultural exchanges between Romanian and French artists. The festival also includes, for the first time, conferences and panels with international guests, representatives of the most important festivals in Europe, which will take place at Hanul Gabroveni.
In the spring of this year, ARCUB launched a database of Romanian artists in the field of light art and new media, with the aim of promoting their creations at a national and international level.
Starting with the ninth edition, Spotlight also has a new visual identity, which will be used on all communication media.
'The communication campaign for Spotlight #9 carries the message 'When art lights up, the city surprises you'. The campaign speaks about the true potential of the city, which takes shape through the creativity of artists and through the public's encounter with the art of light. Two realities coexist and give birth to a third: THE CITY THAT SURPRISES YOU - a space where collective imagination transforms Bucharest into a living, dynamic and spectacular organism,' the press release reads.
