ARTISTIC INTERVENTION // URBAN SIGNAL @ CNDB, Omnia Hall

Save or Cancel invites you to colour the public space in front of Omnia Hall, Bucharest.
Un-hidden Bucharest is an urban regeneration project imagined as a series of 3 public signals aimed at humanising the city and promoting its exploration through art in an alternative cultural route that recommends the most remarkable artistic interventions in the public space.

The three urban signals are produced in collaboration with the project partners – CNDB, Cinema Marconi, Lente, activating, through art, the public spaces they share with locals and tourists.

The tour will be available as a performance with participants, web & print.

Why?

– to enhance the sense of belonging and identity through the (re) discovery of the city with the help of art;
– in Bucharest there are cultural brownfields – areas with buildings out of use; they decrease the quality of public space and inherently of life;
– art has the ability to humanise public space, enhancing dialogue and co-participation;
– there is already an interesting series of cultural initiatives and independent artistic interventions that enhance the quality of public space in Bucharest.

How?

The open call produces a public intervention and identifies areas of interest to the participants.

Let yourself be inspired by the hidden, obscure past of this area, or envision the future, as this building and area will enter the contemporary cultural circuit as a contemporary dance venue.

The artistic intervention can be temporary or permanent, separated from the building, assembled, painted, written or performed.
