Plankton::Bar 30/11 2007

During two months B::C offers a residence to artists whose artistic oeuvre is based on 'nomadic' ideas and dynamics and on their cultural and sociological impact.The theme automatically produces a series of related references such as 'migration', 'origin' and 'movement' which are closely related to the concept of a nomadic way of living.The line of flight between 'nomadic-migration-origin-movement' was explored on different levels during the three months residency. Starting from a personal level, via a local and national perspective to a worldwide scale, this idea served as a research topic and at the same time as an inspiration for artistic translations.The artists used, during the period, several tools to map a possible territory of thoughts in common. A blog, walks, images, mapping exercises and dialogues document the process in which ideas are exchanged between the artists and theoretic Bettina Wind.During the Plankton::Bar the different tools and their (temporary) results are shown and the artists want to try out and question the impact.'

'To take a step in the right direction.Which direction is that?And that direction is which?' (Petter Alexander Goldstine)

'Kissing time with necessary narratives shaping incoherent spaces; creating cohesive structures to walk within. Fullstop.' (Dario Vacirca)

'I walk to remember where I come from. I walk not to forget. I walk to trace a path to follow.' (Claudia Conduto)

'Rather than trying to define 'nomadic structures', we expose our way of living on these moving grounds and invite the audience to share this walkabout with us.' (Christina Clar)
