Light Art 1st glow
In cooperation with Light Art Biennial in Austria, Ptuj, Slovenia, will host light objects by artists such as Manfred Kielnhofer, Christoph Luckeneder, Mounty R. P. Zentara and Alexandre Murucci. We have also invited Korean artist Jeongmoon Choi to exhibit her light drawings. Installations by Art Stays' artists (Dušan Fišer) will join and complement the visiting works of art. The Light Art Project is a conceptual by Jernej Forbici, an upgrade of Art Stays projects from 2005, when the festival carried the name Light Please. The aim is to awaken life in the sleepy, oldest Slovenian town. Each night, Ptuj will shine under the glow of the light installations and take a peek into a brighter future. The 9th International Festival of Contemporary Art – ART STAYS 2011, the ninth yearly edition of the Art Stays International Festival of Contemporary Art will be taking place this summer, the third time in the context of Art Ptuj Summer Festivals. This year's festival is entitled CONNECT, as it will connect over 100 artists in Ptuj, Slovenia. 80 of them will be presented for the first time in Slovenia, almost 60 are younger than 35 years, 20 are Slovenian, 6 of them newcomers. 16 curators will present 54 events between 22nd July and 5th September.
