Cultural management for Independent art and cultural centers, projects and networks

Interactive art management

4 day workshop/laboratory for artists, activists, cultural managers...

with Prof. Giep Hagoort - researcher and chairman of Center for Art & Economy of the Utrecht School of the Arts, The Netherlands

29. 9. - 2. 10. 2005

Monastery Bechyne, part of the "On-time" festival

[http://www.klaster-bechyne.org/vcas]

In the 21st century, there is an enormous need worldwide for a basic knowledge of management in the cultural sector. This knowledge fills the existing gap between general management theory and cultural praxis. It helps students, teachers, artists and practical art managers in translating management theory into successful cultural organizations. Intercultural network competences will be the key to the survival of artistic workers and art managers in a cultural Global Village that will be dominated by the digital revolution and artainment in a diversified context. (excerpts from Art Management Entrepreneurial Style)

Context of the workshop

The recent development for cultural and artistic bodies in the "new" socio-economic climate, the meaning of membership in the EU and other factors are increasingly essential to be dealt with when successfully managing cultural projects. It is pertinent to be well equipped with knowledge and the appropriate tools, as well as being well connected with like-minded cultural organization.

Prof. Giep Hagoort will introduce "interactive art management" as an increasingly important and necessary method, approach and tool, and suggest ways for its successful implementation. Among the core issues that will be reflected upon are cultural leadership, teamwork, strategy development etc., as well as the differences in the implementation of models for cultural management in the West as opposed to Central and Eastern Europe. He will examine the role of cultural entrepreneurs, that hold the key to the future in culture, and the need for Intercultural Network Organizations, that are essential to meet the challenges for the cultural, non-profit sector.

Workshop goals

To enable and stimulate the exchange of experiences between people who are active in the cultural sphere from the non-governmental sector, and who work with international co-productions, and/or in interdisciplinary projects.

To explore the practical implementation of the interactive art management with focus on practical projects and issues.

To discuss and explore the different models for implementing cultural management in the "West! versus Central and Eastern Europe. To reflect on specific situation in Central and Eastern Europe (such as the changes in society as in cultural policy after the entrance into the EU). To compare functional models and experiences from the West with Central and Eastern European perspectives.

To discuss perceptible chances, future challenges and visions for the cultural, non-profit sector. In this context, we will examine the notion of an European cultural "creative landscape".

The content, course and outcome of the workshop

This workshop aims at focusing on practical experiences and visions of the participants', in creative confrontation with Prof. Giep Hagoort from Utrecht School van den Kunsten, The Netherlands, a renown specialist in this field.

The participants are encouraged to co-create the specific learning process within this interactive workshop. Therefore, participants are expected to send a description of their project, either as concept or in development and/or to articulate their specific interests, needs and „hot" topics prior to the workshop.

Some projects will be chosen as case studies and will be presented, examined, analyzed and discussed. In this way, real situations are being worked on, reflecting the specific needs of the participants. Through this framework, different experiences will be shared and compared, questions raised and possible answers developed.

Through the presentation of the participants' projects, feedback is being provided not only from a renowned specialist as well as from the other participants. This "group brainstorming" creates an unique occasion for self- reflection and re-evaluation of the participant's approaches, attitudes, weak and strong points, allowing for fresh views and the development of realistic strategies for the management of a successful project.

Prof. Giep Hagoort will lecture and animate this workshop/laboratory and will bring qualified expertise of "Interactive art management" and "cultural entrepreneurship" as a theoretical framework for cultural (art) management strategies, international collaboration and exploration of practical possibilities of "survival" and sustainable development of ("independent") cultural organizations and projects. Analysis of their driving forces, their needs and conditions under which they survive, their strategies, successes and failures will be an important part of the discussions.

Resting workshop

01.09. - 11.09. 2005

Monastery Bechyne, part of the "On-time" festival

[http://www.klaster-bechyne.org/vcas]

workshop description:

Mostly this would be an encounter of architects, sculptors, stage designers, gardeners, sociologists, meditative hermits, idlers, explorers, fishermen… about the 'problematic' fields of relaxation in the wide/real meaning of that word. Bechyne monastery, its gardens, rocky patios and close by surroundings will become the scene and the theme of the work(shop) itself. Under the lector's supervision we will explore the theme of relaxation and we will seek sufficient relaxing spaces. The work will include familiarization with the space, sketching and re/creating of such a places. Followed by testing.

sources:

- What does the place you usually relax in/on/at looks like? Why does people stop only at a few places in the garden?

- How to create/build/design relax places? How does certain place/space influence/inspire the quality of relaxation

- How do we actually relax? To rest has a different meaning for each person.

- Can we relax after all...?

workshop intentions:

- Explore the theme in different layers: resting, abreaction, play, calm, meditation and sleep.

- To find and explore places/spaces suitable for relaxation.

- Re-create places/spaces for resting: garden objects, installations or situation of lasting or temporary character for different

"resting activities"

- Test such places practically. Initiate different action/situations with the relax issue for individuals and groups or public.

- Gather know-how and knowledges of the space/place which will be presented during the architectural symposium that will concern the complex resolution of the monastery and become a base for the future work...

technologies, techniques, expression media:

These are not specified yet. The workshop is open to any approach towards the theme.

From the complex environmental solutions/edits, new objects, seats, benches, sound or lighting installations can be produced... towards actions and performances.

Usable materials include wood (woodenshop), metal (smithshop), sound studio, computer and lighting studio (external technician) plus the natural environment...

Workshop budget dispose of financial support on materials that can be supplied during the workshop. Or if you will inform us about your project... We will supply the material needed in advance.

for who/participants:

architects, artists, stege designers, gardeners, sociologists, psychologists, meditative hermits, idlers, explorers, fishermen... and whoever has a deep interest in the given theme.

preparation:

To participate does not require any special preparation. Participants are advise to come with already thought-over projects. Be concepts that are able to grow...

The workshop is not meant to be a place where one "only" realizes a project. It should be a place where, through consultations, discussions and active and open speaking, we should experiment on this place and come to conclusions...

A letter with a brief description of your project will help us to prepare the materials and adjust the program.

transmediale.06 Award Competition

transmediale - festival for art and digital culture berlin, invites

submissions for its Award Competition 2006. The competition

highlights outstanding contemporary artistic positions in digital

media art. The international jury will award one main prize of EUR

4.000, and two second prizes of EUR 2.000 each.

The transmediale award is a major international award for art

reflecting on the aesthetical and cultural impact of new

technologies. Previous award winners have included renowned artists

like Shilpa Gupta (IN), Zhou Hongxiang (CN), Istvan Kantor (CA),

Thomas Koener (DE), Netochka Nezvanova (US), schoenerwissen (DE),

Adrian Ward (UK), Herwig Weiser (AT), 242.pilots (NO/PL/US), and

others.

As a festival for art and digital culture, transmediale presents

advanced artistic positions reflecting on the socio-cultural impact

of new technologies. It seeks out artistic practices that not only

respond to scientific or technical developments, but that try to

shape the way in which we think about and experience these

technologies. transmediale understands media technologies as cultural

techniques which need to be embraced in order to comprehend,

critique, and shape our contemporary society.

Digital media are increasingly used by artists of all disciplines to

express their ideas and to explore new aesthetic territories and the

relation between art and technology. What is important for

transmediale, though, is that the artistic practices do not only make

use of technologies, but that they imply a reflection about the

aesthetic, cultural and social dimensions of such technological

developments. transmediale and its competition promote an

understanding of media art as a sounding board and catalyst for a

critical and creative expansion of the potential of human agency

through new technologies.

We invite the submission of works and projects that respond to this

challenge. We are interested in works that expand our understanding

of digital image and sound aesthetics, of narrative, of interactivity

and, in particular, the cultural significance of software and

computer programming as cultural techniques. However, we are also

curious to see the submission of works outside of these areas, works

that expand our notions of artistic practice, and works which can

make a strong argument for the crucial role that new technologies

play in our perception and projection of a contemporary global

culture.

Together with the jury, we explicitly welcome submissions from

artists who live and work outside of Western Europe and North America.

transmediale is hosted by Berliner Kulturveranstaltungs-GmbH in

cooperation with Akademie der Künste.

Funded by the German Fedral Cultural Foundation.

The transmediale Award Competition is sponsored by AVM Computersysteme.

club transmediale

club transmediale (CTM) - festival for experimental music and related

visual arts - takes place in conjunction with the transmediale. CTM

is an independent platform for new forms of electronic and

experimental music and for the various artistic activity drawing

influences from and refering to sound- and club culture. It presents

outstanding productions in digital, electronic and experimental

music, audio-visual performance and installation.

CTM reflects on the role of contemporary music culture as a changing

agent for present society and - due to the massive dissemination of

music - as one of the key elements to shape the transformation

processes that characterise today's mediasphere. With a focus on the

exploration of performative concepts, informal networks and the

interaction between different media formats - especially of image and

sound - CTM emphasises the situative potential of live music and

performance. Thus it encourages the crossover of institutional,

academic and subcultural contexts.

club transmediale invites the submission of works and projects in the

fields of digital, electronic and experimental music, audio-visual

performance, sound art, installation, video-performance/VJ-ing, music

video and of design concepts aimed to shape social situations and

communication processes related to music culture.

The "Rencontres internationales" offer more than a simple presentation of the works. They introduce a true intercultural forum gathering various guests from all over the world - artists and directors recognized on the international scene along with young artists and directors who still cannot enjoy a substantial distribution, directors from organizations and emerging structures - testifying of the vivacity of creation and its diffusion, but also of the situation of their activity in their countries that sometimes are in transition or experiencing deep changes. The "Rencontres internationales" reflect the glance of creators who directly take part in their cultures, and work out this precious and necessary time when points of view meet and are exchanged.

Feel free to spread this piece of information to creative organizations or artists and directors you are in contact with.
