• Live Conversation: Archipelago of Artistic Practices

[EN] Spaces for artistic work are crucial for artists and precious for ecosystems of cultural life. Their availability, affordability and quality differ heavily and are ever more under pressure in neoliberal contexts. With Eavatea, Jubilee initiated such an infrastructure for development and collaboration, even if its basis is online. How can different kinds of environments for artistic work be shared, maintained, used sustainably, collectively and generatively?

Live Conversations are part of Eavatea’s co-initator nadine’s curated activities in dialogue and in collaboration with artists and or partners. The conversations focus on a specific topic or artistic practices affiliated with nadine. This fourth Live Conversation is organised in the context of Jubilee’s Archipelago of Artistic Practices, a Research Summit organised by Jubilee and M HKA. The programme and exhibition are built around Eavatea, a digital infrastructure for mapping research-based and transdisciplinary practices. During this live conversation Eavatea’s partners reflect on ways in which an extended community of actors can create an economic model for Eavatea, using their own versions of the tool.

Out of Sight is a venue for contemporary art, aiming to find a potential hidden within what is often perceived as different, marginal or even unwanted. It makes room for the ephemeral and the ambiguous. Out of Sight is a space where the poetic and the political meet. The program is build around international cooperations among artists, curators, researchers and the public at large. It strives for a critical and flexible approach, with the objective to support a development and experimentation in arts that is outside the logic of consumption and markets.
In the company of Dušica Dražić (artist and independent curator), we will visit the exhibition currently on view, followed by an informal discussion (max. 25 ppl) on sustainable models of support for these artistic initiatives, and how we can maintain them collectively off- and online.
