White
Canvas: video art project that will be held within the halls of the
former
military garrison of  Oradea;
at present, the building is to be rearranged to shelter the collections
of the TariiCrisurilorMuseum. The venue was
chosen due to its neutrality as a basis for the curatorial concept: the
support,
the fundament and the context where the artistic act sets and develops
itself.
In its attempt to move from the pictural
canvas to the profecting screen, the concept of White Canvas aims at
applying a new frame: the idea of
film-painting.
-      The sequential and temporal dimension of the film image
will be borrowed from the static feature of the painting ( and vice
versa).
-        The support issue brings along the problem of
intensifying the virtual artistic content that will populate the screen
as a
consequence to the assumed artistic decision; this will endow the
artistic act
with an apparently unlimited freedom but will lso appeal to both
abstract and
sensorial reasoning. 
         -Video art as art manifesto explores the real mostly in a
critical way,
with its own means; it has  as basic
static support the place of the artist as related to the artistic
object. 
-    Thus, the support issue brings into discussion the
issue of the context of the artist’s perspective, a fact that leads
to the
introspective aspect of questioning the creative act. The virtual
space, the
white space of innocence, perfection, honesty, purity, neutrality,
light and
exactness will be contaminated by the personal aesthetic experiences
expressed
through his perspective.
The reason for discussing the concept of White Canvas is to propose
video images
that will open a whole new interrogative horizon for the viewer and
where he
stands in relation with the video art and the world to which this art
is
related.
