Description
The thematic workshop Between Nature and Culture
is a 10 days artistic residency for10 participants coming
from various European countries to immerse themselves
together in order to reflect on issues regarding
environment, society and landscape.
During the whole time of residence, observation
facilities(log cabins) will be set up both in the city and in
the countryside. In the beginning, scientists and artists
will help the participants to collect the sensitive and
sensory information. This work will initiate the creative
process. In the 2nd phase, each participant will be
completely immersed in experimental workshops about
movement, sound and video. These experiments and the
collected information (material and immaterial) will form
the foundation on which the creation of a short-film will
be completed in the 3rd phase.
A presentation of the work-in-progress will be
shown during a closing event. Short-movies will be
post-produced in the weeks following the event
and will be broadcasted on the web and throughout
networks dedicated to sustainable development and
contemporary art. They will also be broadcasted for the
event Mons 2015, European capital city of culture. Each
participant will receive a DVD with their short-film and
will be free to broadcast it wherever they want.
To whom is it addressed?
The thematic workshop is addressing every curious
person willing to participate to an art residence around
Nature and Culture.
