Arkiv – Platform Nord 2018

PLATFORM NORD 2018

Platform Nord Forbindelser

I 14.-15.november 2018 ble Platform Nord arrangert, men denne gangen i seminar-form. Platform Nord Forbindelser ble en faglig møteplass for nordiske kunstakademier og utdanningsinstitusjoner, og deres unge kunstnere. Temaet for seminaret var kunstnerisk mobilitet.
SEMINAR 2018

Platform Nord Forbindelser // Connections 2018

Platform Nord invites to a Nordic seminar at the University of Agder 14.-15.November 2018

 

We ask: How can we promote artistic mobility? Does higher education have a responsibility to support young artists in establishing themselves?

 

Through two inspirational and intense Platform Nord festivals we have got to know some up and coming Nordic young artists. Our participants come from different Nordic countries, and are characterized bydiverse artistic expressions, but share common ground in being educated at the academies and universities in the Nordic region.

 

The young artists of today are expected to follow up graduation by becoming innovative entrepreneurs financing and justifying their existence through creative grant applications and business skills. They must be ready to navigate the system, building profitable network associations both home and abroad.

 

And then, they are supposed to create art.

 

Platform Nord starts the conversation by inviting Nordic art academies and universities to “dugnad”: identifying how we can work together to help our young artists build Nordic networks, international connections and cross artistic relations.

Welcome to Platform Nord Connections

 

The seminar delves into the possibilities and limitations of artistic mobility experienced by our young Nordic artists.

 

We hereby invite representatives of the art academies and art educators in the Nordic region to take part in the conversation on how we can contribute to graduated artists’ venture into professional careers. Through enlightening lectures, an evening symposium and an artistic workshop Platform Nord prepares the ground for new ideas and alternative routes of future collaborations. The program is developed in collaboration with “Art in Context,” the research and artistic development platform of the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Agder.

Platform Nord Connections is open for participants from all artistic expressions. Registration fee of NOK 500. Young artist participants free of charge.

Special allowance made for first ten academic guests that register for co-participation with a student / young artist: one night each of accommodations covered by Platform Nord. PN covers one night in single room for academics, as well as accommodation for the young artists shared with the other young artists.

CASES

Take part in CASE SYMPOSIUM 14 November, 7pm – 10pm

curated by André Tribbensee

Call for contributions

Platform Nord Case Symposium will be a zone for free thinking. Together we will create an exiting space for mutual inspiration, discussion, personal expression and the exchange of ideas. There will be time to talk in a relaxed setting. For this we will provide food and we will take you to an extraordinary environment apart from university.

The symposium will consist of our guests own contributions. Within this space we will not divide participants into experts and audience but rather look at each other as a sharing community where everybody is welcome to join the discussions, students, activists and professors alike. We want to welcome all of you to suggest an own short presentation, speech or a performance, based on your experience, practice, questions or critiques towards the topic of MOBILITY.

However you are free to choose the content and medium of your presentation, it should not extend a time-frame of 3-7 minutes, as we wish to include as many of you as possible. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for registration.

We wish your contribution to origin in your very personal interests, questions and reflections (rather than representing and positioning your organisation or status). Tell us about what we probably wont expect, or what yourself would like to learn more about.

Your contribution could for instance content:

  • an astonishing example from your own practice
  • a critical reflection or burning question to share
  • a provocation
  • a mobility project that turned out to be a disaster
  • a brilliant example for the blessings of mobility

Symposium / please sign in: We encourage you to join us with a short contribution (3-7 min.) Please submit your presentation title and a short description to André Tribbensee: post@platformnord.com

Curator statement:
Mobility may be seen and experienced as the ultimate blessing of our time, an unquestioned strategy for success and a mantra for unlimited opportunities, expanding potentials, jet invisible markets and economic growth. Even Platform Nords existence might be a manifestation of this believe.
Digitalisation, globalisation, increasing accessibility and continuous social networking does have their effects not just on our work but on our very personal life and mental state. Where might be the threshold when the increase of information and movement instead of benefitting us turns into restlessness, postpone knowledge and alienation with a loss of quality and presence in life, and what again would that mean for our work with art and education?

WORKSHOP

Helen Eriksen

Helen Eriksen is an English visual artist and educator, based in Oslo where she is a member of Tenthaus Artist Collective. Helen perceives art as an activity, rather than a product. This understanding of art and artist has given the possibility to take on a shifting artist identity that encompasses many different roles within professional art production – from maker to curator to administrator. Her artistic role in public space has resulted in an art practice that often includes other participants in the artistic process.
