ABOUT C3

The three initiators are Sebiha Demir, Bart Folmer and Patrick Mangnus, all three live and work in Deventer, the Netherlands.This August, they will be travelling to the cultural capital Sibiu, through the foundation Netsib, to work on several projects.The idea to attach a bigger and growing project to the existing ones, came from the enthusiasm and appreciation of each others work. Besides other projects, we have put up a long-term and intensive project in where artists of different disciplines will meet and work together in forthcoming project.

CONCEPT

The idea of the project is that within the ten days in Sibiu, a trans-national artistic multi-media co-operation project will arise. The three initiators will each search for typical characteristics of the culture of Sibiu. Working from their own disciplines, they will be inspired and use this in forthcoming projects, where they will work together and react on each others work. There will be a presentation of these works. It could happen that one artist makes a painting and an other will draw in it, and yet an other will use his light techniques to show another side. In every cultural capital about fifteen local artists will be approached to participate in these projects, contribute, respond and to invoke discussions about cultural and it’s identities. From these artists five will be selected to join the next project in a different cultural capital, every time. The project will grow and the diversity between the cities and their cultures will show.But most importantly: the connection between the cities will grow stronger.
