Speakers Abstracts

Niels Righolt
Head of Development at the Danish Centre for Arts and Interculture. Niels is acting Chairman of the Board at Transnational Arts Production (TrAP), Oslo and member of the Steering Group for the Platform for Intercultural Europe, Brussels
Cultural variety is one of the most important goals for the cultural political environment nationally as well as in an international perspective. Simply in order to reach, reflect and interact with an even more complex and diverse audience. Today it seems necessary for the cultural institutions to reflect on their opportunities in a more nuanced and receptive way, allowing a broader perspective to influence it's way of conduct - the Modus Vivendi of the institution. Both in terms of repertoire and exhibitions as in terms of recruitment, communication and collaboration there is a profound need to renew the structures and find new ways to reach out into society. To some extend one can rely on the capacity of contemporary artists, but quite often even they find themselves struggling as Quijote's against structural windmills unable to recognize the need of structural change within the arts. It's all about ensuring the institutions as democratic actors based on criterias that integrate usual parameters such as quality and professionalism with hybrid forms, openness, audience perception and innovation into the framework by which we determine what events and exhibitions to mount. In my speech I'll circle on these issues and reflect them as parts of the institutional challenge of creating adequate and open encounters between the public and a variety of artistic expression.

Emma Smith
Artist Fellow at The Showroom gallery, London, UK. As part of a one year commission, including practice and research, she developed PLAYBACK: an interactive game exploring tacit knowledge held within the locality of the gallery, and Public Relations.
Focusing on work developed over the last year as Artist Fellow at The Showroom gallery in London, I will use this presentation to explore the nature and ethics of personal and institutional relationships in social and participatory art practice. Examining the dynamic and positioning of the roles of the artist, the institution and the public, the presentation will explore the terminologies, agendas, and power relations at play, and the importance of the terms of engagement. There is a multiplicity of terminologies relating to my practice: collaborative, social, participatory, pedagogic, socially engaged, dialogic, interventionist, community based, performative, live art, to name a few. The issue with these is that each is laden with a very particular connotation, yet they have been applied to very different forms of practice and are not universal. My interest in working with The Showroom was in their unique decision, as a publicly funded UK gallery, not to have an education (or learning) department but rather to embed an ethos of participation and collaboration across the institution.

Kerstin Bergendal
A Copenhagen-based visual artist, curator and writer working with a focus on new fields of research for art and new ways employing artistic knowledge in contemporary society.
My work deals with a primary focus on existing - or possible - public and semipublic 'commons'. I enter of me chosen locations, implementing a specific combination of interventionist strategies, long duration engagement and principles of play, to establish a temporary forum for active involvement from locals and/or other professionals, related to the chosen site. The dialogues in this forum qualify my own reading of the site and understanding of what kind of the interaction it frames. Concluding the sequence of dialogues, I present models / prototypes for a new - or renewed - role for the site. My proposals are intended as a "translation" of a complex temporary local process, into utopic but fully viable proposals for local change. The physical changes I propose for the site, would provide basic conditions for a multiple and changeable local public exchange as they are intended to host other temporary structures, to change with time and through lived experience.
My contribution to the seminar will encircle some of the artistic tools and methods that have be-come available for me, when taking the use of unlimited time, a focus on temporality and no pre-set final form as point of departure for artworks in public raum.

Katie Bruce
Katie Bruce has been working as the Social Inclusion Coordinator at the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA), Glasgow, since 2002. Primarily responsible for the outreach work in the gallery programme, she has worked with a number of participants and artists in a range of projects.
This presentation will begin by highlighting the work that took place in GoMA’s Contemporary Art and Human Rights programmes from 2002 -2009. These programmes provided a structure for the development of the outreach work at GoMA and allowed for reflection and learning from each project delivered. It was also the platform where the GoMA team (Manager, Curators, Learning and Access and Front of House) worked most collaboratively and this influenced the scale of what was achieved. The presentation will also explore some of the recent work the gallery has undertaken. Since 2010 GoMA is no longer working with big biennial social justice programmes, but is exploring ways of embedding the practice into its core public programme.
