Seminar on the Brahmaputra and and online forum

Participants: Shuddhabrata Sengupta, Monica Narula, Kaushik Bhaumik, Sanjay Bangar, Sharmila Samant, Siu King Chung, Nancy Adajania, Tushar Joag, Howard Chan, Nishant Shah, Pooja Sood, Sonal Jain, Mriganka Madhukaillya, Prayas Abhinav, Stephen Wright, Renée Ridgway

‘Unspeakably More depends on what things are called than on what they are. (...) Let us not forget that in the long run it is enough to create new names and plausibilities in order to create new "things".’

ArtEast and Cascoland, 'the real Kirgizian artists'

"If you just look at the things from a different perspective, everything starts to change. Stereotypes disappear." This statement was made by Bermet Borubaeva, who is studying with the School of Contemporary Arts in Bishkek, Kirgizia. Twelve Kirgizian students and six artists from the Dutch Cascoland presented their 'interventions in the public space' during Boom-Boom, the fourth International Contemporary Art Exhibition in Bishkek, in August 2009.

GARE MALI, an example of a changing art practice

Fidèle à sa promotion des jeunes artistes maliens, le Centre Soleil d’Afrique, en partenariat avec des artistes hollandais, vient d’organiser en deux étapes un atelier de création qui a regroupé une trentaine d’artistes venant d’horizon diverse. Al Hady Goita, secrétaire général du ministère de la culture, a présidé le vendredi 9 janvier 2009, le vernissage de l’exposition des œuvres réalisées pendant cet atelier.

Thinking further on what we discussed in Cairo

(I have posted the same in the forum last week) I am writing this to clearly record why I consider Artscollaboratory (hereafter AC) is important to me. I must first say that I see the AC as a forum, where different/differing dialogues can interact making it a space for critical ideas and debates initiated and led by artists-led-initiatives from Asia, Africa, and South America. In that sense AC as a forum acknowledges that what we have to say about art and art practice as artists (not as curators, or art theorists, or art historians) is important.

Re-imagining the future: Arts Collaboratory meeting Cairo, 28th & 29th March 2009

On 28th and 29th of March 2009, the meeting "Re-imagining the Future" was organized in Cairo. A group of 12 stakeholders gathered and discussed the knowledge sharing themes

  • re-writing art history
  • cultural managment

Furthermore, the identity of Arts Collaboratory as a network/forum/fund was discussed.

In this blog we invite everyone to share their impressions and/or reflections on the meeting or to comment to what is written in this blog.
