TRANSART


TRANSART was an annual international ARTLABORATORY with festival like public access for trans-disciplinary arts and artistic communication, which took place every summer in the Cultural Centre "Lamparna", Labin, Istria, Croatia.

Three festivals (1999, 2000, 2005) and 6 art labs (2001-2006) were staged. Every art lab was dedicated to a specific theme and topic, involving and connecting art groups, cultural workers and artists from all over Europe, with a focus on discursive trans-disciplinary working methods, communication and cooperation.

TRANSART was a platform for experimental art and communication, a workspace for community arts as well as a forum for investigation and development of new forms of art and communication. One of the leading ideas was to promote the vital connection of life/living and work, which also included an intensive communication with the Region of Istria, its structures, architecture, cultural heritage, social life and history.
