Traverse Video Festival Toulouse

Les Abbatoirs – Museum of Contemporary Art Toulouse

This article would like to honour another French collaboration.
The month March is annually reserved for video art in France. Besides Videoformes Festival in Clermont-Ferrand, it is Traverse Video Festival Toulouse which is celebrating the uprising Spring each year with a new festival edition. Wilfried will collaborate with the festival in Toulouse four times – 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, and later in 2019 another time, by including the directrice of Traverse Video Festival, Simone Dompeyre as a curator in the W:OW Project.

Today on 11 March, the 2008 festival starts ( until 30 March) , later on 15 March Wilfried will have a solo feature at Les Abbatoirs – Museum of Contemporary Art Toulouse/France including 6 videos
Bareback – serial DIScharge / House of Tomorrow / Rivals and Friends / Urban.early sunday morning_raw: / One Day on Mars / Inability of Being Nude – entitled:

Le moment d’Agricola de Cologne, à l’Auditorium du Musée des Abattoirs.

Wilfried visited Toulouse once in the 80ties of 20th century, he loved the “red” of the “red city”, which Toulouse is called due to the red brick stone architecture, but unfortunately he did not attend the video festival, thus also not his solo feature. Actually, Wilfried was invited to attend several festivals taking place between March and May 2008, but he decided to attend the Naoussa Film Festival in May 2008.
