We’re happy to announce the first TRIBE SeaStation.

In accordance with TRIBE’s mission to foster long lasting connections and a collaborative methodology, artists, curators and researchers will meet at ARTos Foundation in Nicosia. The meeting will include presentations of all participants, as well as work sessions with curators, project development, critiques and discussions and informal program. The aim of this meeting is to provide a sense of collaboration on the project as well as to develop project and research concepts and provide information and insight into the background of all those involved.

The public part of the program consists of project presentations addressing the question What is transitory art? The concept of transitory art forms a backbone for all participating organisations, with the common overall ideas being:
– transitory art as a convergence of new media and contemporary art,
– transitory art as art emerging in countries in transition,
– transitory art as art reflecting the hyper-mobility of artists and cultural workers and their consequential production modes.

The panel presentations and discussions will each present a specific aspect of artistic practice reflecting these three main phenomenas from the viewpoint of concrete practices and projects to be realised during the residencies.
By introducing the term ‘transitory art’ we aim at rethinking the model of thought on contemporary and intermedia art, by shifting to horizontal progress, non-hierarchy, theory through practice, politics through poetics, education through experience, transition as medium etc.

PARTICIPATING SPEAKERS AND ARTISTS:
Markus Jenschaunig (AT) / Hrvoje Hirsl (HR) / Petko Dourmana (BG) / Sabin Bors (RO) / Azahara Cerezo (ES) / Isin Onol (TR/AT) / Carmen Salas (ES/UK)/ Szilvy Nagy (HU) / Anne Laforet (FR) / Regine Debatty (UK) / Matthias Kispert (UK) / Jan Vormann (DE) / Luka Zagoričnik (SI) / Babis Venetopoulos (GR) / Chrystalleni Loizidou (CY) / Andrey Boleslavsky (CZ) / Martin Bricelj Baraga (SI) / Achilleas Kentonis (CY) / Ekmel Ertan (TR)

About TRIBE:

T.R.I.B.E – Transitory Research / Residency Initiative of Balkans and East Europe

T.R.I.B.E. is a platform established to connect media-labs and
artist-in-residency spaces in East Europe and the Balkans. All
organizations involved are making the first steps to build AIR
programs for production and research for experimental, digital and research art.
The network encourages exchange between these places as
well as production and touring of international transitory artworks.

All believe in building the infrastructure for artistic research,
production and representation with the purpose to revitalize the either closed or just unfamiliar artistic scenes of the so called East.
With the planned strategy of targeted actions TRIBE aims to fulfill the following mission:

1. to connect organisations in East Europe and the Balkans,
2. to establish new AIR programs in the region and to improve existing ones,
3. to conduct research on transitory art and produce new transitory artworks.

T.R.I.B.E. was built in partnership with CIANT (Prague), ARTos
Foundation (Nicosia), BIS – Body Arts Association (Istanbul), Treći Beograd (Beograd).
T.R.I.B.E. is supported by EACEA Culture (2007-2013).
