The Transitory Research Symposium is a two
day gathering of artists, theorists and cultural activists participating in the first two years of the T.R.I.B.E. –
Transitory Research/ Residency Initiative of the Balkans and Eastern Europe
network.
Addressing the topic Cartographies of
Transition, the symposium will evolve around four main topics: Defining transitory
art, Cartographies of sound, Tools for civil disobedience and Mapping spaces. These
four topics address the main aspects of transitory art in relation to the art
works produced during the first two years, while simultaneously providing a
philosophical and critical context for the understanding of transitory art.
Transitory art is art responding to times
and spaces of transition. Its production and representation are directly
reflecting discontinuities, ruptures, and uncertainties, symbolic of the present
times. It does so by defying borders, by
developing tools with which to address these problems, by deconstructing and
reconstructing mediums as well as ideas, by transforming creative processes, by
inventing contexts, by educating, and reversing, by invading spaces and inventing
languages. Cartography of Transitions will attempt to map these strategies, and provide a
framework for the understanding of transitory art.
Responding to the four main topics, the
symposium will consist of internal work sessions and the evening public
program. As a parallel to the symposium, YKON will lead an YKON Game workshop,
to which the public is invited.
