WELCOME TO MEDIA ART FRIESLAND!

Unfortunately the Media Art Festival and Leeuwarden Urban Night Adventure – LUNA could not take place in the fall of 2020, because of the corona virus. Fortunately, there are still a few nice projects that we can share with you.

THEME NIGHTS ON DECEMBER 1, 2 AND 3, 2020
On December 1, 2 and 3, Media Art Festival in collaboration with the RUG Campus Fryslân and Hanze University Groningen will present three interwoven online Theme Nights full of discovery, discussion and artistic inspiration.

Central to each evening is a theme that is further explored and unravelled by special guest researchers and artists. We zoom in on the appreciation of culture and economic value in the cultural sector, not-knowing in times of uncertainty, and we take a closer look at our relationship with nature.

WILL YOU BE WATCHING THE LIVESTREAM?
Due to the current Corona measures, it has been decided to only stream the evenings online without an audience on location. The evenings are streamed live and everyone is welcome to join and watch on this page.

Let’s all stick to the measures so that the virus will be contained and we can soon get back together again in real life to experience art!

TUBELIGHTS
As part of the theme program ‘Here and Now’ of Media Art Friesland, the art installation Tubelights was on display in the glass entrance of Tresoar in November. An interactive work of art by the Groningen artist and designer Lambert Kamps in which the audience could participate by sharing words. Read more here.

YOUNG MASTERS 2020
The Young Masters 2020 have been selected. Unfortunately we will not be presenting the Young Masters with an exhibition this year. The current situation makes it irresponsible to encourage people to come together during this period.

ARTIST IN SPACE
Artist Jildau Nijboer completed a working week in Obe, Leeuwarden, during which she invited an online audience to contribute images to the artwork she is developing for LUNA 2021 in the context of Artist in Space.
