ABOUT
VERSION
Produced by the Public Media Institute, a non profit 501 3c corporation, Version
is an annual springtime convergence that brings together over 500 artists, musicians,
and educators from around the world to present some of the most challenging ideas
and progressive art projects of our day. The eighteen day festival showcases
emerging trends in art, technology and music and has earned critical accolades
here in Chicago and abroad.
The hybrid art festival / art fair brings together individuals, groups and
networks that utilize visual and conceptual art strategies, innovative social
practices, public art projects, and new music to push the counter cultures
forwards.
Version festival presents a diverse program of activities featuring
an exposition/art fair called the NFO EXPO, multiple art exhibitions,
urban events, film screenings, interactive technologies, performances,
street art, presentations, talks, workshops, and art rendezvous and action.
Alternative spaces open for staging actions. Public spaces and corporate
places become terrains of intervention.
Much of Version>07 Insurrection Internationale was programmed via an open
online submissions platform.Other projects and programs were selected and curated
by the Version>07 Organisers
