CORNERS - turning Europe inside out
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

CORNERS is an intercultural artists' platform, designed and driven by a partnership of cultural institutions at the edges of Europe. We create opportunities to produce multidisciplinary artistic//cultural collaborative projects. Around 60 professional artists and researchers will co-produce through CORNERS, engaging more than 30 organizations/institutions as partners and shareholders. Different backgrounds, different disciplines. CORNERS artists are both emerging and established, chosen based on artistic excellence, ability to design protocols for engaging people and capacity to communicate interculturally.Artists meet during a CORNERS Xpedition. Prepared and guided by local hosts, 25-30 invited artists and staff encounter squares, markets, train/bus stations, citizens. From these experiences, artistic constellations, involving 2 or more artists from different corners of Europe, are commissioned. Each is coordinated by 2 or more Partners, who care for the project. Artists collect stories from one corner of Europe, re-tell them on another. They generate fresh artistic values. CORNERS co-creations are then presented using Partners' cities as their stages: Stockholm (SE), Ljubljana (SI), Gdansk (PO), Zagreb & Rijeka (HR), Belgrade & Uzice (SR), Donostia/San Sebastian (Basque Country/ES), Belfast & Derry (Northern Ireland), Northumberland & Middlesbrough (England), Prizren (Kosovo). Cooperation is a basic unit of CORNERS. We build a partnership to hold, based on shared responsibility. CORNERS engages in local stories but its organisation is transnational - with partners spread around the continent.To involve such diverse audiences in local contexts, the AUDIENCE LINKS thread is constructed. It gathers fragmented experience into a shared approach. It gathers tools to measure public needs, tactics on how to meet them, and formats for interaction. Our DIGITAL ENGAGEMENT thread can magnify the intimacy of the local actions into broad online accessibility.
