Between 24 September and 3 October 2010 PLACCC will take you on a tour de force of the city: get ready to be whisked off by international and Hungarian artists on adventures in time and space.

The Danish artists of hello!earth invite you to embark one by one on a playful study of the city and unusual encounters with other travellers. Their audience-sensitive performance, Tomorrow everything will be different challenges the myth of reality and takes you on a do-it-yourself performance walk zigzaging across a diverse district of Budapest. Re-discover your little corner of the world and in the meantime do not hesitate to question how reality is created and what exactly reality is…

Polish artists take you on a surprising escapade: the Fundacja Laury Palmer brings Venice’s famed Giardini Biennale to Buda’s Sashegy. Giardini Biennale Sashegy is a game of imagination which transforms allotments in the midst of a residential district into gardens filled with national pavilions. The Sashegy allotments are, like the Giardini in Venice, a bit archaic, a somewhat romantic and wild area with its own rules. Visitors getting lost in the bushes will be able to map the little huts representing Central Asia, Mexico, Russia, a now non-existent Czechoslovakia, the United Arab Emirates and many more.

The Czech Handa Gote collective proposes an intriguing travel through time in the company of Mr. Roman from the sixties to the eighties of Czechoslovakia. Super 8 films, authentic archives of Mr. Roman’s life, pre-digital electrophonic instruments, a special „off-limits“ location and a twist of nostalgia… This is what awaits all who are eager to re-live a bit of the past with the artists of Handa Gote.
Discover an escape from the monotonity of everyday life with Szövetség’39 Artists‘ Base who will set the stage for cross-disciplinary artistic interventions on the platform of a truck to set art literally in motion around the city. Unusual encounters in the most extraordinary places – Escape Route will show you an exit into the realms of imagination and playfulness.

After last year’s debut PLACCC‘s Usedesign Project is back to shed new light on the city with surprising interventions. Small changes can make a big difference: Újirány Group re-claims the city to spark community life in public space with its Urban Salon and to treat our aching backs to a bit of Urban P.E. in the 8th district’s Palotanegyed.

D1618 Studio offers us the experience of active silence amidst the constant and ever-increasing buzz of the city – look out for the Silence-o-mat at the busiest hubs. The quirky artists of 1000% will target one of the main intersections of Budapest in order to transform it into a thought-provoking visual experience for drivers and passers-by alike.

The fourth edition of PLACCC takes contemporary arts out into the city, to the most surprising places, in order to prove that art is not a matter of privilege, but part of our everydays. The collaborating artists aim to help us re-discover the city and show that even the most mundane and ordinary situation may have something new to offer.
