LEISURE, DISCIPLINE and PUNISHMENT
Start date: Oct 1, 2012,

(working title) Leisure, Discipline and PunishmentHEADLINESFour organizers of international biennials in four European countriestogether select eight artists produce eight new works of art with moving images place art with moving images in the public spacechoose unconventional, energetic urban locations for the purposeby doing so, give this art a social impulseshow the eight works of art as part of their events. The coordinator and co-organisers all hold a biennial as a major event in which the moving image art plays an important role. They interpret the concept of ‘moving image’ in the broadest sense: video art, artworks incorporating film, installations with movement, light art in motion, etc. They believe this sort of art lends itself extremely well to public spaces and helps to establish direct contact with the public at large.CURATORSHIPFour curators make up an artistic committee with Jacob Fabricius, curator of Contour 2013, as the coordinator. His associates are: Lorenzo Fusi (curator Liverpool Biennial), Edi Muka (curator Göteborg Biennial) and Anne Barlow (curator Bucharest Biennial). The curators will work together to develop the concept and, on the basis of that, choose 8 artists. Each artist will be asked to make a new work. Each organisation will coach and produce two of them.CONCEPTInstead of using energy to bring people to the exhibition, the works of art will be taken to the people, put down in the midst of people, namely in places where they live, work, relax, reflect, etc. Art will become part of the city’s energy. Exploiting locations that are totally different from the regular exhibition spaces (museums, art centres, galleries) will certainly require additional creativity and engagement on the part of the artists.
