CALL for Participation

Do you have an article of clothing, which you don't use anymore, but you kept it, because it is somehow "charged"?

With memories? Emotion? Stories? Hopes? Wishes? Time?

Or it could be something from a household, which is made from textile. Like "the curtain of your grandmother's kitchen".

Would you be able to donate this piece for a project of art and connection?

Even, if you would know, it will be "destroyed" / cutted - but be involved together with others into charged clothes?

Please take a piece of paper and write on it:

• Your Name
• Your Mailing-Adress (You will get 2 booklets/cataloges, where you will find your name as one of the donors, and photos and text about the project! Tourists please give your mailing-adress of your own home, the booklets will not come before Septemter 2017)
• Your e-mail-adress for the case, you want to get an invitation for the presentation in Buenos Aires
• ONE SENTENCE discriping, why you kept this piece / how it is "charged".

Please give me an  information via e-mail or fb or whatsApp and we'll arrange the handover. My identification:

Or send/bring it to:

Eva Hradil

c/o Silvia Alanis Tango Shoes

BULNES 1053 Cp 1176 CABA ARGENTINA

M-F: 14 hs - 19 hs

I will use your piece of clothing like material -  cut it, clue it, fix it, mix it with others.

The plan is to create:

• one  large-sized sculpture or a space-installation includings parts of all donations
• several small pieces bringing together some of them

(1) Directly in Buenos Aires:

Everybody who joins the project in donate a piece - of course - is invited to the final show, presenting the developed objects.

Probably: 6th of March 2017

18 - 20:30

Center Cultural de la Cooperación

Av. Corrientes 1543, 2nd floor

(2) After some months:

Back to Vienna/Austria, I will realize a booklet, a small catalogue, 21 x 21 cm, about 32 pages.

Each participant will get 2 copy by post!

All participants will mentioned in this catalogue, by name (or by initials, it you prefer that).

If your participation would be too heavy or large for sending it by post, be courageous yourself and cut it in the middle, or as it makes sense for you.

I'm painter and I live in Austria/Vienna. I love to paint large-sized paintings. And I love to create objets d'art. And for both I use simple/familiar/unexceptional ingredients. To create something new made by stuff everybody knows.

This is not my first project for what I need the support of others. To ingegrate people on the one hand and to make myself dependent on the the participation of others on the other hand.
