Round Table 2
Artistic presence in local areas:
Art tested by reality

Artists move into the middle of local areas. They occupy off-beat spaces and unexpected places, and they wish to be integrated into local life and to have a lasting relationship with local communities.
What develops out of this proximity to local communities and the frictions and dialogues that the artistic teams experience with other local players? Does this movement contribute to the redefinition of art and the artist in society? What are the resulting influences on cultural policies?

Workshop 5
Economy and organisation of projects

The systems for production of artistic works put in place in these initiatives all have one factor in common: great economic uncertainty. What forms of operation and of organisation are invented to bring these projects to life? What financial, regulatory and legislative answers may be provided to assist these projects?

 

Workshop 6
Finding a place in the local area

When artists' collectives or cultural ventures become involved in a local setting and a local history, they often contribute to transformation of the local environment. What are their specific features with respect to architectural and urban classification of spaces? What responses do they provide to the property issues? How do they contribute to regional development and to local development?

 

Workshop 7
The role of the audience and public

Systems for public performance, dissemination and creation call into question the idea of spectator and the status of the artistic works. How is the public taken into account through these experiments? What are the new ways and means of involvement, appropriation and participation of local communities?

 

Workshop 8
Artistic and cultural cooperation,
exchange and dissemination

Opening to the world, artistic cooperation schemes and exchanges are very strong features of all these projects. Apart from the circulation and dissemination of artistic works, what other significant aspects of economic, political and identity issues are developed by international artistic exchanges? What challenges are faced by the artists and their hosts? What are the local impacts of these exchanges and coopération schemes?
