ART AND ARCHITECTURE FESTIVAL
m20d is an art and architecture biennale that focuses on snow and landscape as its basic elements. Its intention is to design or stage landscape with simple interventions, making it accessible to adiverse audience. Proposed as a large-scale laboratory, m20d seeks to utilise the winter landscape as a testing field with snow as its plasticine resource for all expressions of art and architecture.All of this occurs in the cultural void of a ski resort town. Art and culture could not be further removed from Flachau, and where there is nothing, anything is possible.
m20d16 – MELT (Jan 28 – 30,2016) We are calling for Installation, Video, Land Art, Performance and Sound Art to interpret the 2016 theme, MELT.
Signified by the transience of snow, MELT can be viewed as synthesis or amalgamation, bringing forth new forms vis-à-vis a process of alchemy. Flachau, as a former mining town with two blast furnaces, and the broader view of Austria as a tourism and steel-producing nation bring additional local context to encourage interpretation. Contributions should seriously and critically address MELT, however, optimistic and humorous submissions are equally welcome. Performative interpretations are especially encouraged.m20d16spans over three days in late January 2016 during which a multitude of disciplines are to become entangled within the landscape as well as each other.
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Project proposals from all artistic areas are welcome, however, preference will be given to submissions that demonstrate a genuine understanding and relationship to the m20d16 theme, MELT.
