NETZWERK / RADIUS OF ART
The project 'art-based research / research-based art’
The project 'art-based research / research-based art’ explores the possibilities of art as an instrument of research onto cultural issues. The participating partners hope thereby to gain experience with a 'research-based art' strategy which focuses on art in the public sphere and art for social transformation.
A residency programme has been established to allow ten young artists to explore topics of relevance in six different locations in Europe and the Middle East – such as cultural heritage, queer issues, the position of women in different societies and questions of identity, coexistence and democracy.
In this context the aim of the project is to establish a sustainable partnership between art academies and art institutions in the Euro-Med region and to support cooperation among artists, cultural operators and institutions within Europe. The project addresses the need for an exchange of artistic research performed by young artists as a group, while reflecting social realities within the Euro-Med region and the globalized world.
The project’s target is to achieve long-term cooperation between the participants in the fields of 'art-based research', 'art for social transformation' and 'art in the public sphere'.
A forum for exchange, reflection and evaluation by all participants is provided with two symposia, the first in Beirut (September 2010), the second in Belfast (April 2011).
The project is expected to give rise to various results, in particular a broad grasp of the experience and insights gained with artists and in partnership with the academies. One outcome is expected to be a road map for the implementation of artistic research into a post-graduate programme for young artists which supports the mobility of artistic interaction. The programme is intended to meet the demand for further education in the artistic field, as well as actively to investigate the impact of artistic research on cultural conceptions.
In addition, different European perspectives on art in the public sphere will serve as examples for an international comparison of art in the public sphere. This study will be performed by the project’s partners and issued as a publication.
The project will also comprise an exhibition series in Lisbon and an international conference on the “radius of art” in Berlin, which will address the creative politicization of the public sphere and the role of arts and culture in social transformation.

Art-based research / research-based art
The concept “art-based research” as a main content of the program concentrates on the exploration of art as a research technique on cultural issues. The involved partners want to gain experiences with the approach "art-based research" with a focus on art in public sphere and art for social transformation.
During the program young artists will address topics relevant in both regions such as cultural heritage, queer issues, the position of women in different societies and questions of identity, coexistence and democracy.
In this context the project aims for the establishment of a sustainable partnership of art academies and art institutions in the euro-med region and the establishment of a European cooperation between artists, cultural operators and institutions. It addresses the need for the exchange of artistic research by young artists as a group which reflects social realities within the euro-med region and the globalized world. A long term cooperation of the participants in the field of 'art for social transformation', 'art in public sphere’ and ‘culture and development' is aimed for.
Cultural production is in focus of ten “research-residencies” which will be reflected by the presentations of artistic works at two symposia in Beirut and Belfast as well as in public presentations, exhibitions and a documentation.
Another goal of the program is to develop a road-map for the implementation of artistic research into a post-graduate program for artists, supporting mobility. The program shall meet the demand for further education in the artistic field and actively investigate the impact of artistic research for cultural conceptions.

Artist Residencies
Susanne Bosch (Belfast), Residency-Location Ramallah
Filipa César (Lisbon), Residency-Location Ramallah
Pola Sieverding (Berlin), Residency-Location Ramallah
Catherine Cattaruzza (Beirut), Residency-Location Lisbon
Cynthia Zaven (Beirut), Residency-Location Lisbon
Hatem Iman (Beirut), Residency-Location Belfast
Lukas Einsele (Darmstadt), Residency-Location Beirut
Caspar Hall (London), Residency-Location Istanbul
Lasse Lau (Brussels), Residency-Location Beirut
Jawad Al Mahli (Shufat/East-Jerusalem), Residency-Location Lisbon
They want to work “on the problematics of identity, national identity, belonging, frontiers, art as politics, that Lisbon imposed itself. (…)”. Hatem Iman from Beirut plans to realize a project in Belfast: „My interest is in researching the production of landscape in printed media (…) to backdrops of political posters. (…) Belfast shares a lot with postwar Beirut.“
Filipa César from Lisbon plans to realize a workshop at the International Academy of Art in Ramallah: “The idea is to stimulate a platform of discussion associated with direct action: the creation of the moving image as a vehicle to address daily concerns (…) based on doing-together mentality and no/lowbudget concept.“
Pola Sieverding, Berlin, has outlined her project for Ramallah with an interest “ to review terms, visibilities and perspectives of feminist and queer research within my own social radius by offering my respective counterpart a field in the sense of an expansion that can be filled with structure.“
Susanne Bosch from Belfast states for her project in Ramallah: „I am currently examining concepts of sustainable ways of living and working in the Western World. Background of this research and artistic enquiry is the economical recession that kicked in worldwide simultaneously with an awareness of a massive climate change and upcoming resource topics like the lack of water, oil, etc(…), what can we learn from Palestine?”
With his project Lukas Einsele from Germany will document the trajectory of the cluster bomb M85: from a spot where they exploded (or not) back to their origins.
Einsele’s research will start in the South of Lebanon where several villages were bombed.
A workshop in Beirut shall be realized by Lasse Lau, from Brussels/Copenhagen : He describes his aproach: “Is there certain logic to queer geography?" The aim of his participatory workshop is to collectively produce empirical knowledge and to think through models that can change, recover, appropriate or even occupy public spaces for queer and social purposes.

They will examine together their european perspective and discuss how this will be presented and evaluated for their future activities.
The artists will reflect on their residency projects and fieldwork activities with a special emphasis on how they interacted with and considered public space and the local context under the topic research-based art.
Publication on ‘radius of art’ / ‘Art in Public Sphere’
Autumn 2011, Preparation by Muthesius Art Academy, Kiel
The publication will be conceived by the Muthesius Academy and assemble the results of the research and the comparison of art in public sphere of all EU-partners stressing the European perspective they gained through the project. It will be accomplished after the evaluation of the artistic projects and depict them as well as the partners´ common research in the field.
Exhibitions in Lisbon
Curator: Jürgen Bock, Maumaus
The exhibitions organised by Maumaus at its exhibition venue Lumiar Cité on the outskirts of Lisbon (Alta de Lisboa) will present works developed by the artists during their residencies. The Maumaus exhibition venue is located in a former slum area, which is currently being developed as one of Portugal largest new modern housing areas, where social housing and free market apartments are mixed. The context of this neighbourhood will provide coherent surroundings for works dealing with public space and the potentials of artistic interaction with local contexts.
Conference “radius of art” in Berlin
8th / 9th February 2012, Preparation by Heinrich-Boell-Foundation Schleswig-Holstein and HBF Berlin
The conference will present results of the project to the public and bind the gained insights on art in public sphere together with the concepts of art for social transformation thus pushing forward another dimension of art that is to be examined by this project. Organised by the Heinrich Boell Foundation the conference shall be opened for a wide circle of institutions working in the field. It shall expose the activities around the action field “culture and development” and discuss the impact of this relatively new approach as a contribution to the Unesco Convention on Cultural
Diversity.
