Happy New Year!
In 2019 ET4U will invite for another exciting MEETINGS Video and Performance Festival from August 30 to September 8 at the rural Danish west coast.
During 2019 we will host a number of international artists on residences at various western Jutland sites, where the artists will create new video and performance works based on their meeting with the area. The finished works will be presented during the festival in untraditional places - here where they are created.
New works will be created in the village Fjaltring by Hanne Nielsen (DK) and Birgit Johnsen (DK), in Thorsminde by Ragnhild May (DK) and Douwe Dijkstra (NL), in Sdr. Nissum by Louise K. Wilson (UK) and Michal Kindernay (CZ) as well as in Bøvlingbjerg by Sharmila Samant (IN). In addition, Lea Petrikova (CZ) and Jan Rousek (CZ) will explore the area around Nissum Fjord with ET4U's trailer as their workplace. From here, before and during the festival, they will convey impressions from both the MEETINGS projects, the festival and the area as such. Author Malte Tellerup (DK) will also convey impressions from the Nissum Fjords area - in writing and as part of the MEETINGS program.
During the MEETINGS Festival ET4U will also present a number of video and performance works, which in various ways relate to the "site" and the "meeting" - but seen from other angles of the world than the central and western Jutland. We will get back to these works and other new surprising festival events in future newsletters, where we will also elaborate on who, what, where and how the process progresses with the new MEETINGS works.
ET4U thanks for financial support

We invite international artists for residences, and here they create new video and performance works dealing with, taking place in, and produced in the meeting with the local area. The works are new and artistic reflections on the area seen from the outside. MEETINGS creates art related to where we live, and the works are shown in untraditional places and locations around Nissum Fjord.
