"The purpose of ARTCONCEPT is to develop a festival of the syncretic arts. Action, performance, installation, multimedia - considered "boundary" fields in relation to traditional art - demand more serious attention and study. We hope to present, as far as possible, the most tendentious currents in the modern cultural process.

The festival's aim is to gather under one roof diverse creative artists - painters, poets, musicians, writers, film-directors, multi-media creators, art-critics. By collaborating on a single stage, artists of various disciplines will be motivated to look at the process of creating art on a broader scale, to push themselves beyond their narrow field of specialization. In this way, we hope to get a new art ambience, a language of art more coherent and distinct than we have previously used. From this effort, perhaps, can emerge a core group of artists with common vision and goals.
In plan is to publish a second and final catalogue of the festival, to sum up it's achievements." ARTCONCEPT, 2005

Showing at the "Patterns in Nature" digital gallery as part of"Art + Math = X", special Year in Art and Mathematics, Jan-Dec 2005.
Colorado University · USA · Conference held 2 June through 5 June 2005.

The 2005 CU Year of Art and Math project aims to deepen the understanding of the relationship between art and mathematics. Mathematics can indeed be defined as the general science of pattern and structure. Since art also involves patterns and structures, art and math relate in many natural ways, which is the basis for this exploration. This project is the brainchild of CU-Boulder Professor of Mathematics Carla Farsi, who enlisted help from other campus departments to develop programs and assist with funding. CU-Boulder collaborators and contributors include the Department of Mathematics, the UMC Art Gallery, the Dept. of Art and Art History, the Department of Theatre and Dance, the Center for Arts and Humanities, the Office of the Provost, the College of Arts and Sciences Dean's Excellence Fund, the College of Music, the College of Engineering, and the CU Art Museum. Area collaborators include the Boulder Public Library, Studio Aiello, the Colorado Women's Art Caucus, the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, NCAR (the National Center for Atmospheric research) and CORE New Art Space. This project was awarded an $18,000 Colorado Council on the Arts grant for its focus on increasing community participation.

The Special Year focuses on the exploration of the relationship between art and mathematics with an accent on the visual arts. The creation of new learning, research, and teaching experiences and expressions in both art and mathematics are some of its main goals.

For the Special Year we are planning a variety of visual art exhibits on art/math themes, an international conference, classes, series of movies and lectures, concerts, and plays., During our 2005 CU Special Year Summer Festival, new traveling visual arts exhibits, dance, and music concerts, will be created and presented.

We are the first in the world to designate a "Special Year on Art and Mathematics. " This makes our program unique with its exciting first-class interdisciplinary activities and quality partnerships at the local, national, and international level.
