BOTH WAYS is a contemporary art exhibition that contributes, within the Science in the City Festival, to the edition of the EuroScience Open Forum (ESOF2020) in Trieste.
It is a physically polycentric exhibition, held in five European locations with headquarters in Trieste, as well as a replicated and extended online exhibition, virtually available worldwide to anyone who enters it with their avatar.
BOTH WAYS is the outcome of a European co-production project that Trieste Contemporanea initiated in March 2019 (see here) in partnership with the Central European Initiative (CEI) and the Trieste International Foundation for Progress and Freedom of Sciences (FIT), which was proposed to a group of art and science institutions in Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Romania and Serbia, with the aim of bringing into dialogue the positions and specific ways of producing knowledge of art and science.
Therefore, BOTH WAYS final exhibition in Trieste is a co-production of University of Rijeka–Center for Innovative Media (CIM) at the Academy of Applied Arts (APURI) and Department of Mathematics (Croatia); Trieste Contemporanea (Italy); Scientifica, Cluj-Napoca (Romania); Center for the Promotion of Science (CPN), Belgrade (Serbia); Ludwig Museum–Museum of Contemporary Art and Hungarian Museum of Science, Technology and Transport, Budapest (Hungary).
BOTH WAYS opens on 29 August at 7 pm at Magazzino 27 in the Porto Vecchio of Trieste bringing 27 artists to Trieste, also as “representatives” of the series of BOTH WAYS exhibitions and activities which will take place jointly in temporary “satellite locations” of the Trieste Scientific Festival in Croatia (Outlandish Rijeka, A Walk in Memories, Academy of Applied Arts - University of Rijeka, Rijeka, 28 August - 6 September), in Romania (Departures from the Sphere, Franciscan Church, Cluj, 17 September - 1 October and Camera K'ARTE, Tîrgu-Mureș, 20 August - 12 September; on the virtual site at www.scientifica.ro, 29 August - 1 October) and in Serbia (AI Lab, Kulturni centar Magacin, Belgrade, 1 - 14 September).
