Fragment from IAK/IBK text:
The digital world envelops us and is used by artists as a resource, as well as a medium. Too often, however, frames of reference are missing, for curators as wellas the audience. When it comes to describing the practical matters surrounding the presentation ofmany of these works, information and knowledge are scarce. How can organisations find new approaches –pragmatic and philosophic – in their goals of supporting, preserving and making available art practices? These questions ultimately lead to an insight: maybe the most interesting potential of curating and presentingnew media is how this might inherently alter the current habits of practice itself. Artists, exhibitionmakers, programmers and critics share their views and experiences during a symposium, also leaving room for debate with the audience

14u tot 18u
In Kunstencentrum Nadine, in het kader van het argosfestival
Nieuwe media doen steeds vaker hun intrede in de werking en het programma van musea en culturele instellingen. Er ontstaan nieuwe vormen van culturele productie en processen, gebaseerd op samenwerking en informatiedeling. Hoe kunnen curatoren en culturele instellingen, traditioneel gefocust op vertoonbare kunstobjecten, daarmee omgaan, als mediator tussen kunstenaars en publiek? Al te vaak ontbreken immers referentiekaders, zowel voor curators als publiek. Wanneer het aankomt op de praktische kwesties rond het presenteren van veel van deze werken, is informatie en kennis schaars. Hoe kunnen organisaties nieuwe invullingen geven – pragmatisch en filosofisch – aan hun taak van ondersteunen, bewaren en publiek maken van kunstpraktijken? Deze vragen leiden uiteindelijk tot een inzicht: misschien is het meest interessante potentieel van het curateren en presenteren van nieuwe media wel hoe het de huidige praktijk zelf inherent kan veranderen.
Met: Jacob Lillemose (Artnode, DK), Iris Dressler (Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart, D), Sarah Cook (University of Sunderland, UK), Laurence Rassel (Constant, B), De Geuzen (NL, B) en Kobe Mathijs (Agentschap, B).
