Parkinprogress

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS for PARKINPROGRESS in Pannonhalma (Hungary) by Moving House Foundation Budapest About Parkinprogress: Parkinprogress is a nomadic mobility programme supported by the European Commission and gathering together emerging artists and professionals from the creative and cultural world, who work on the different steps of creation, production, diffusion of a project in which transdisciplinary experience is developed. Parkinprogress moves around 6 different places in 6 different countries. At each step, the artists and professionals explore a park or an urban green area to create a strolling promenade nourished by different artistic propositions to share with the public. This creation nourishes itself from new proposals established on the encounter with artists and professionals from the hosting country. Parkinprogress is the first step of a far-reaching project, which is meant to link the main European countries’ big cities, to make emerge a vast community of artists and cultural actors able to work together on transdiciplinary projects at a European scale. In Hungary in August 2012 the Benedictine Archabbey of Pannonhalma will host the second step on Parkinprogress, with 20 international and Hungarian artists, who are given the opportunity to explore, reflect upon and reinterpret the beautiful arboretum of the monastery, within the framework of the ARCUS TEMPORUM ART FESTIVAL of PANNONHALMA.
