Artivistic :: art.information.activism/e

===== http://artivistic.omweb.org ======


Artivistic is a transdisciplinary event on the interPlay between art,
information and activism.

The bilingual event will bring together diverse practitioners and
theorists of activist art and communication through performances, art
exhibitions, interventions, workshops and roundtables.

The event includes a *benefit* for Steve Kurtz (Critical Art Ensemble)
and
Robert Ferrell on the evening of the 22nd September, towards the CAE
Legal
Defense Fund.

The artistic and free-form conference asks three overlapping questions
in
order to consider new + different possibilities:

* Why is Activism Associated with the Street? A question here on the
notion of space and the politics that underlies it;

* Who Owns your Body_Mind? A question for analysing the authority of
scientific knowledge in relation to society;

* Who is Allowed to Communicate? A question on communications and media,
information as a right and vector of freedom.


The event is an independent and interuniversity initiative. It aims to
promote open transdisciplinary + intercultural dialogue and research on
activist art, to create and facilitate a human network of diverse
peoples,
and to inspire, proliferate, activate.

Artivistic est un événement transdisciplinaire qui s'intéresse à
l'interAction entre art, information et activisme.

L?événement bilingue propose performances, expositions d'art,
interventions, ateliers et tables-rondes, en réunissant diversEs
praticien-nEs et théoricien-nEs de l'art et de la communication engagés
d'ici et d'ailleurs.

L'événement inclue une *soirée bénéfice* pour Steve Kurtz (Critical Art
Ensemble) et Robert Ferrell le soir du 22 septembre, aux profits du CAE
Legal Defense Fund.

Le colloque artistique à forme ouverte s'articule autour de trois
problématiques reliées entre elles afin de considérer et d'encourager
des
possibilités nouvelles et différentes:

* Qu?est-ce qui unit l?activisme et la rue? Une question ici sur toute
notion d?espace et les dynamiques politiques qui la sous-tend;

* À qui appartient votre corps_esprit? Une question pour l?analyse de
l?autorité du savoir scientifique par rapport à la société;

* Qui est en droit de communiquer? Une question qui aborde les
communications et l?information en tant que droit et vecteur de liberté.


L?événement est une initiative indépendante et interuniversitaire. Elle
a
pour but de promouvoir la recherche et le dialogue transdisciplinaire et
interculturel sur l?art activiste; de créer un réseau humain de
personnes
diverses; et d?inspirer, proliférer, activer.
