Dutch Artistic Research Event #5

2010



For 2010 a new format was developed. maHKU now organises a think-tank symposium in April that articulates a theme. Following up on this, maHKUplatform will take place in the first week of September 2010 with three exhibitions (at Aorta, Academiegalerie and Expodium in Utrecht) and parallel discussions.

DARE#5: INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM: DOING DISSEMINATION
What is the most effective way nowadays to communicate a work of art? It seems that art and design currently suffer from crossed channels. The possibilities to show, reveal, publish and promote are rapidly increasing, as are the considerations that come with this development. 
Does this openness and diversity lead to greater precision, attention, and dissemination? Or is there a tendency towards fragmentation, crudeness, socialization and commercialization? What do all these developments imply for the situation of (Graduate) art education?  
The structure of the symposium differed from that of the earlier editions. There was no  a string of speakers addressing the audience from the pulpit. Instead we followed the original idea of symposium as formulated by Plato: a series of mixed table conversations in varying group compositions and in six courses that matched our guests’ tastes. Guests were Nicolas Bourriaud, Jurgen Bey, Bik Van der Pol, Geert Lovink, Wim Nijenhuis, Remko Scha. 
A review of the symposium appeared on the website of Metropolis M (in Dutch)
