Dear friends.
ZeroStation is pleased to introduce and invite you to be part of our special event whose title is PRESENTATION IN MARATHON. In this “marathon”, which will start on 6:00 pm, Friday, 9 August 2013, 7 artists, curators, and organizers from Korea, New Zealand, Turkey, Hongkong, France and Vietnam will continuously present their work as well as their social and cultural concern which are reflected in them
The main target of this event is to open the chance to see each other and to be seen among artists as well as to create sort of working network in region and beyond. However, this event, as being made open for public, also has another important target that is to open for audience a chance to go deeper than the surface of art product/mythology to encounter with the realities of being an independent artist/organizer in Vietnam or in wherever
In this event, ZeroStation will be an adaptor that connects everyday life and art, art and art, audience and artist, local and global in hoping to open a multi-dialogue, which is essence of all contemporary art practice
The artists participate in this PRESENTATION IN MARATHON are
