A Phelwidek Photo egy három éve működő fotópályázat és kiállítássorozat. A Phelwidek kifejezés a magyar Felvidék szó játékos elferdítése, amely Szlovákia magyarok és szlovákok által vegyesen lakott területeit jelenti. Az elmúlt években a kiállítások tematikája is erre a területre koncentrált. 2012-ben a szervezők úgy döntöttek, hogy kitágítják a pályázat határait valamint a pályázók körét, és a kissebbségi lét megélésének, a különböző kulturák együttélésének kérdéseit járják körül.
A szervezők nyitottak voltak mindenféle műfajú fotográfiára, illetve videó projektre. Különböző emberek, csoportok, nemzetek, vallások, kultúrák, szubkultúrák együttélését vagy egymás mellett élését bemutató képeket vártak, függetlenül attól, hogy az békés vagy konfliktusokkal terhelt.
A Phelwidek Photo honlapján online feltöltéssel lehetett pályázni. 52 országból látogatták meg a honlapot, és szinte mindegyik földrészről érkeztek pályázatok: 146 pályázó 1563 képpel pályázott.
Kathmandu Contemporary Arts Centre at The Patan Museum
In 2010 Kathmandu Contemporary Arts Centre, KCAC, established Nepal’s first International Contemporary Arts Centre to host exhibitions, workshops, symposia. It hosts a series of local and International Artists esidencies based at the Patan Museum.
The Patan Museum displays the traditional sacred art of Nepal in an illustrious architectural setting. Its home is an old residential court of Patan Darbar, one of the royal palaces of the former Malla kings of the Kathmandu Valley. Its gilded door and window face one of the most beautiful squares in the world. The residential palace compound of Keshav Narayan Chowk which houses the museum dates from 1734, displacing a Buddhist monastery that is still remembered in an annual public rite on the palace doorstep. But both monastery and palace rest on far older foundations that may go back to the Licchavi Period (ca. 3rd to 9th century).

Z performancí Strážca mostu Jamese Johnson-PerkinseFoto: James Johnson-Perkins Štúrovo je malé pohraničné mesto na juhozápade Slovenska. Oproti nemu stojí historické maďarské mestečko Ostrihom. Prepája ich most Márie Valérie, ktorý bol postavený v roku 1895. Tento most bol zničený počas druhej svetovej vojny, opäovne bol postavený až v roku 2001. Premostenie si symbolicky pripomína aj umelecký rezidenčný program Strážca mostu, ktorý sa tu už niekoľko rokov koná. „Rezidenciu založil človek, ktorý tu v minulosti žil a takýmto spôsobom chcel nájsť dôvod, aby sa sem mohol vracať. Potom, čo bol dlho zničený most znovu zrekonštruovaný ho napadlo, že by bolo fajn, keby umelci, vedci, filozofi a hudobníci metaforicky strážili tento most tak, že by tu robili umenie, literatúru alebo hudbu. Projekt vznikol pred desiatimi rokmi. Ja som v poradí už osemnástým strážcom mostu,“ vysvetľuje Angličan James Johnson-Perkins, jeden z umelcov participujúcich na rezidencii. Z performaní Strážca mostu Jamese Johnson-PerkinseFoto: James Johnson-Perkins A akým projektom sa tu prezentuje? „Vymýšľam masky, kresby a kostýmy superhrdinov na základe prianí ľudi. Spoločne ich potom vytvárame. Oni si ich oblečú a ja ich fotím a točím na rôznych miestach v rôznych situáciách v Štúrove aj Ostrihome, teda na opačných stranách mostu.“ Výstava Jamesových prác prebehne v 12. marca 2011 v Štúrove.

The Štúrovo Super Hero Society. A solo exhibition of new work by British artist James Johnson-Perkins created during his 6-month residency with the Bridge Guard Residency Program in Štúrovo, Slovakia. During his residency Johnson-Perkins created a fictitious group of amateur Eastern European freedom fighters. Every character has a super hero persona and mask. They each have special powers and individual characteristics, some of which are derived from Hungarian and Slovakian unique cultural identities.
In his work the artist often explores childhood nostalgia using diverse social groups, through role-play and games. In this exhibition he will be presenting a series of vinyl drawings, a collection of masks and a short film. The film follows of a selection of local volunteer heroes acting out various super-characters in prominent locations. The film soundtrack is a newly commissioned violin piece created by local musician Palkó Trencsíkpalkó. This was recorded with Hungarian and Slovakian cartoon overdubs by Attila Lukács Jr. Palkós band Jóvilágvan will be performing at the exhibition at 7pm.

Works by five artists: Elen Bonner, Yang Zhifei, Tom Marshman, Harry Meadows and James Johnson Perkins.

Tom Marshman’s work includes performance, photography, installation and film. These examples of his video work address mundane situations in a humorous, playful and eccentric way.
Harry Meadows is a London based artist who uses digital animation and printing processes allied with symbolic imagery in his striking film work.
James Johnson Perkins’ work casts a nostalgic gaze at adolescent pop culture, including Lego models, retro computer games and TV programmes.
Yang Zhifei from Fujian China shows Day Dreams. Yang Zhifei is a Chinese and Netherlands based artist who is interested in researching the relationship between the real world and the world of dreams; this theme persists throughout all her works. Yang Zhifei is one of three Chinese artists selected for the box by artist/curator Chen Wei.
