CULTURE @ WORK
Start date: May 2, 2013,

The Culture@Work Project aims to develop a platform for the circulation of artistic work and for the collaborative training of professionals in the cultural sector. It aims to deepen transnational perspectives by (1) fostering a Europe-wide exchange between professionals in the cultural sector (e. g. artists, curators, cultural managers, programmers), (2) training programmes in the arts, hence promoting an intellectual and artistic exchange, and (3) creating a platform that will promote practice-based strategies and interdisciplinarity in academia and artistic research. The project brings together four stakeholders in the field: The School of Human Sciences at the Catholic University of Portugal (PT) and its collaborative M.A. and PhD Programme in Culture Studies; the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art (ES), the University of Copenhagen (DK) and the Centre Nationale de Littérature du Luxembourg. All partners have been individually engaged in long-term collaborative projects in the training of artists and professionals in the sector and have pursued cooperation projects in the past. The originality of the platform stems from the deliberate intent to foster a sustainable collaborative network, bringing together Northern and Southern European practices and traditions in the collaboration between academia, the art world, and distinct artistic discourses. The main goal is to produce a strategic programme for the mobility of artists and training of professionals in the cultural sector. In order to do this, the project will organize a set of different activities in different locations: three artistic residencies, two workshops and two Summer Schools, all based on the collaborative research and practice model. As outputs the project will produce:- A sustainable web-based platform - 3 artworks- 10 research papers- 2 printed volumes- 6 dissemination videos.A lasting output will be the impact of the concept on artistic practices and research in future projects.
