November 2013, 5th. After the Forum d’Avignon RAW in Essen (2013 October, 21th to 23th), the Forum d’Avignon launches its Hackathon on ‘Imagining a new cultural urban space’.
As in Essen and next year in Bilbao (2014 March, 5th), it is not research about practice, but with practice. Its results are thus not just texts and new theory, but also a proposal for a project implementation, for a new practice.
Pitch. How to find the leeway to reinvest culture in urban space when everything seems gloomy, in times of nourished individual and collective scepticism? How to involve and bring citizens and politicians together, when societal and community structures seem organized to resist change?
Statement. Long addressed in a dominant way, the relationship between cultural institutions and the "public" have been, in recent years, upheavals due mainly to changes in cultural consumption practices. The "public" today differentiates in many persons with plural identities, who take many and varied activities and make choices in the abundance of cultural offerings. The contemporary viewer claims more his own place and his right to speak in a personal relationship with cultural institutions – instead of being an anonymous part of the "public"
Methodology to the specification and development of such a show-case for cultural investment stakeholders of the CATALYSE partners in Germany and Spain and France, European stakeholders from the Forum d’Avignon Ruhr 2013 as well as domestic cultural actors in Avignon in are invited.
A collaborative approach has been chosen that combines bottom-up citizen participation (for example, managers from the Club des entrepreneurs du Vaucluse from Avignon 2013, November 20th) with curatorial exchange from France, Spain and Germany.
Agenda The Hackathon will be announced in the program as an integral part of the sixth International Meetings.
