Dis Location is a follow-up of the Re:Location Program organized in several countries in the last 3 years, more exactly the Re:Location Academy in Luxembourg in the summer of 2004. However, Dis Location is not only a word play in connection to the Re:Location program. Each of the three artists or their work represents a lack of permanence to a place or to a culture.

		Hsia-Fei Chang (www.hsia-fei.com) is Taiwanese artist, who lives and works in Paris. In her performance in Bucharest she will try to find “freedom and humanity, especialy the position of women in today’s society”. . . . .

		Jon Mikel Euba is an established Basque artist who in Bucharest will make a presentation of his work and carry out research and record material for new video work. His video works seem to be speaking the shaky political and social situation in the Basque Country; however, ‘they do not celebrate fear and don’t encourage the public’s speculative expectations. They insist on the autonomy of their contemplative handicraft of repetition in the same measure as they construct a scenography of latent expectation.’ . . .

		Janek Simon (www.jansi.art.pl) is an up and coming young Polish artist who will exhibit his interactive installation ‘Carpet Invaders’, a redesigned version of the Space Invaders video game. He intercalates two ‘opponent’ cultures; the computer game representing the capitalist leisure industry mixed together with traditional motifs of a 19th Century Caucasian prayer rug. . .
