The path of Albrecht Dürer  

Albrecht Dürer [1471-1528], artist, mathematician and theorist,  travelled systematically through Europe, visiting both North and South on various journeys.  We are inspired by the nomadic trajectories of him and other figures, finding each other over international borders via their common interest and ideas, creating a network of solidarity and affinity, working artistically in the places they visited and  living together with the people they met abroad. 

The 'Path of Dürer' is our artistic trajectory, as well about an inner journey, changes and movements on small scale, , about discovery, the revealing of hidden layers of reality, the poetry of everyday life, the mystery of the banality. We intend to create collaborative and participative works of art on places that needs attention and care, considering the city as a living being and with traveling as a laboratory for exchange and urban change, with minimal interventions.

Our focus will be how to mobilize people into new alliances starting from the idea “What if art would be the platform to give shape to society, working with politics as a poetic, creative and human instrument”.  Being 'artists-nomads’ we move  in a field of art, ecology, and politics, fed by utopian ideas and concepts.

Starting form this framework it is our goal is to redefine art in public places, mostly associated with sculptures in an urban setting, even though temporary and more ephemeral interventions are also a part of it. When the tradition of happenings and performances found a podium in galleries and museums during the 1960s and 1970s, this type of activity gradually disappeared from the street scene.

We want organize international exchange of ideas and practices in an European trajectory of participative and collaborative street actions, actualizing psychogeography and situationism, examening the fabric of the city, looking for dysfunction, imperfect aesthetic interventions and neglected spaces or locations. We want to work on location with local teams, together with residents, young people, senior citizens, immigrants on processes intending small but significant changes through art and creativity, inclining towards a philosophy of peaceful resistance with actions and statements that are almost contemplative, without much noise, hoping to stimulate the consciousness of others with  small gestures, working on changing the future and engaging people in the future development of their environment and to excite them about their cities.
