Billboard Art Competition Art Moves 2023

查看今年的主题！我们需要从什么角度来看待现实的光明面，而不仅仅是黑暗面？

不收取入场费。比赛是公开的，所有对广告牌艺术感兴趣的艺术家都被邀请参加。作品应在2023年7月23日欧洲中部时间0:00前通过电子邮件提交至地址：artmoves（at）tlen.pl

2023年9月在波兰托伦举行的艺术运动节期间，6件最有趣的作品将在城市空间的广告牌上展出。最有趣作品的作者将获得4000兹罗提（约900.74欧元，984.06美元）的主要奖项。

艺术家们被邀请准备一件艺术品来回应今年的比赛主题：我们需要从什么角度来改变我们的视角，才能看到现实的光明面，而不仅仅是黑暗面？

这一竞赛口号可以被视为当今世界正在发生的所有进程的隐喻。近年来，我们个人和全人类都经历了大量困难和令人沮丧的情况和事件。疫情、战争和日益明显的气候危机对我们许多人产生了负面影响。但这些糟糕的事件只是我们生活的现实的一个方面。另一个光明的一面确实存在——这要归功于我们的共同和个人努力、关系、日常工作以及对我们最重要事情的关心。尽管如此，当我们每天上网或使用其他类型的大众传播时，当我们试图了解世界上正在发生的事情时，我们会被负面新闻轰炸，引发强烈的情绪，而这些情绪是极难抵御的。现实的消极一面与积极一面不平衡，影响了我们的生命能量，如果发挥更积极作用？

Artists are invited to prepare an artwork in response to this year’s competition theme: What shift in our perspective do we need to see the bright side of reality, not just the dark one?

This competition slogan can be treated as a metaphor of all the processes taking place in the world today. In recent years, both we individuals, and the whole of humanity, have experienced a plethora of difficult and depressing situations and events. The pandemic, wars (including the war in Ukraine) and an increasingly noticeable climate crisis have had a negative influence on many of us. But these bad events are just one side of the reality we live in. This other bright side does exist – thanks to our joint and individual efforts, relationships, everyday work and care about the most important things for us. Nevertheless, when we surf the Internet every day or use other types of mass communication, when we try to find out what is happening in the world, we are bombarded with negative news that induces strong emotions, which are extremely difficult to defend against. This negative side of reality, unbalanced by the positive one, deprives us of life energy, triggers irrational fears, and steals our willingness to life and act. What shift in our perspective do we need to see the bright side of reality which could be an antidote to the dark side, give us power and hope to build a better present and future? Where should we look for this bright side? Or maybe positive events happen every day, at our fingertips, but we just do not notice them? Why is it like that? What actions, feelings and ways of thinking can help us achieve this? How can we function and act better and more positively in our own life, the surrounding environment and the wide world?
