What is Publicritic?
With the 3rd Publicritic Call for Posters and GIFs, Exhibition and Events we continue our mission in encouraging artists around the world to form a visual critique on various problems in society year by year. Dragging attention to different social crises, several visual critiques can be explored all around the bus and tram stops in the city of Nagyvárad – during our one-month urban exhibition, each year. Selected entries are also published on Publicritic’s online platforms and catalogue.
Why ART & MONEY?
In 2023, with the 3rd edition of Pubicritic, we considered it was time to explore the topic of ART & MONEY, reflecting on the world of art markets and recent changes. Nowadays, artificial image generation is everywhere, but can we accept it as an invisible prosthesis – a digital extension of our mind, our eyes, our hands – and can we create with its help? How do recent developments impact society and the role and livelihood of artists?
Exploring the ART & MONEY catalogue
Published in paperback, the catalogue comes with a printed fore edge to emphasize Publicritic’s atmosphere. Out of the received visual critiques (from a total of 48 countries), our international jury team shortlisted the best 30 posters and 20 GIFs. Browsing our publication, you can learn more about the relationship between art and economy from different perspectives, followed by the selected artworks.
Using AR technology
Using AR technology and scanning the static images marked with the Artivive icon, 20 selected GIFs can be explored in their animated form with the help of the Artivive app (downloadable from Google Play / App Store). Browse them freely & have a great Publicritic experience.
