Just like a physical festival, Lacuna Festivals Distance 2021 has many different galleries and they are hosted on a variety of different platforms. We have galleries of participatory projects on our Facebook page, artist profiles on our Instagram account, video works on our Youtube channel, a photostream on our Flickr page, a huge range of online events and our festival galleries hosted by ArtSteps.
On this page you can find our eleven curated galleries, each with a separate narrative linked to the overall festival theme of 'Distance.' These narratives are; Bridging the Gap; Close/Far; Communication; Enforced; From A to B; ...From What?; Opening Up; Realities; Self; Society and Time. The works within each theme not only link to the overall festival theme but also speak with other works in their gallery so that each themed gallery tells a unique story.
Each gallery can be viewed through three main platforms; ArtSteps, Flickr and YouTube. The ArtSteps galleries are embedded here and there is more on how to use these below. To see video works for a particular narrative please visit Lacuna Festivals YouTube channel by clicking on the icon underneath the embedded gallery. You can also visit the Flickr galleries for each narrative by clicking on the Flickr icon.
All of the ArtSteps galleries are embedded on this page, listed by their narratives below. Please be patient as they may take a while to load, particularly the first time you open this page up. (There is a lot of data for your computer process to make the virtual environments work smoothly. Below are some brief instructions to help you navigate these virtual spaces.) Remember you can also visit the galleries on ArtSteps directly - this may be more effective if you have a slow internet connection or an older device, You can even download an app to view these galleries on your mobile devices, then you can navigate them using the motion sensors on your device.
To visit the galleries on this page, here are some top tips to get you started. To view the gallery as a full page click the second button down on the right hand side (a square). Once you are in full page view you can click on the 'i' button for a brief tutorial on navigation around these virtual spaces. You are then free to explore the space, walking around as if you were visiting a real gallery - just click on a piece to view it larger and to get the gallery label for that piece. The label contains more information about the artist and artwork such as media, size and a brief artist statement.
Once you have viewed the gallery, you can click the heart button underneath the gallery to give us a like and/or click the speech bubble button at the bottom right hand side of the screen to leave us a comment about your experience. Please do leave feedback for the artists and/or the Lacuna Festivals team so we can keep making the festivals even better for you!
