ART PROCESS - SET UP FIVE YEARS AGO BY THE IRISH ARTIST JOHN-PAUL DELANEY

Open Invitation for Contemporary Visual Artists.

PRESS RELEASE

Art Process
Trapani 2007

www.artprocess.com

Art Process is an online art project that involves hundreds of artists from many countries. Set up in 2004, Art Process permits artists to create their own virtual gallery to publicise their works and
ideas, but above all strives to create a dialogue between those artists in the dynamic exchange ofopinion on the site. In a few years the site has become a reference point for artists on the internet.
Collaboration with artist Antonio Sammartano gave way to the realization of an international meeting at Trapani, Sicily in July 2007 of Art Process on the website, and about 100 reponded positively expressing an interest in attending. The project aroused the interest of the city council of Trapani, and the Curia Vescovile of Trapani (which in recent years has demonstrated a notable sensitivity in promoting contemporary art). The diocese has made available two unused and deconsecrated churches in the centre of Trapani as exhibition locations, while the city council has given the use of additional spaces also in the historic centre. The international artistic presence, along with local artists, and the people of Trapani will combine to create a dynamic cultural event of visual art and language - a meeting place for art, and artists, in the public domain. The diverse approach of each artist allows this project to exceed the confines of the usual "fossilized" art exhibition, and become a creative studio of painting, installation, sculpture, photography, and video that reflect a changing society, the confrontation of nature and urban life, and explore links with tradition. The idea to de-contextualize the artspace into multiple spaces in the city allows greater access for the public to the artworks. Visitors to the show will be sure to admire the city, it’s
location, and in time may come to consider Trapani as a new venue on the international artworld
circuit.

Hello List, Partners, Fellow Artists, Group, ETC.--

First let me say NOW that everything seems to be more real and  
realized than ever before.  Now I feel as if we are a group that's  
really doing something.  Not that we were never a group and never  
doing anything before, yet NOW seems to be a point were the outward  
actions are starting to manifest.  Congrats to everyone for what  
we've done.  Of course an extra special fine CONGRATS to JP and  
Antonio for making this happening, along with the political  
connections, public organization society thing and the overall visual  
anticipation visualization.  Am I making sense?  OK?  It's Saturday  
night and I've had some vino. By the way... I'm waiting near  
patiently to drink with you all!  In SICILY!

Getting to business... regarding the recent emails... I think that an  
abstract image of all our work (small or large) in the shape of not  
only Italy but maybe SICILY is a great idea because it will be a work  
of art in itself.  I don't think it matters if you will be able to  
see individual works yet more importantly there will be an overall  
feeling and sensation created by us for us, while all getting the  
same original exposure.  Our true individual works will be seen in  
the show.  To have an original image made by all the artists  
(theoretically) is an endeavor all its on that a brave graphics  
person will have to undertake.  And by the way, I think another show  
of our ARTPROCESS pictures along with the artwork is another great  
idea for an art show in the possible near future.  Any takers?

Yes, and did I mention that I'm looking forward to eating some food  
and drinking some wine and talking art with all of you.  Yes. OK.  I  
know I already mentioned it, but I just wanted to reemphasize the  
point...


See ya soon--
