We have two new residents staying at Nida Art Colony in July: Joen Aatchim and Cecile Tourneur.
For Thomas Mann Festival (Topic: Burst of conscience) NAC resident Christiane Hütter with Goethe-Institut Litauen grant designed a playful research experiment. Two teams explore possibilities of art and politics (and their combination) to build bridges between worlds. How political can/should/must contemporary art be? And how much fun can it be to create a momentary monument?
A game for 30 persons, passers-by and city furniture. Duration 1-1,5h
The game starts in the Main Square (Municipality) of Nida, 15.7. (Wednesday), 16.00h

This year marks the fifth iteration for the international symposium and aims to reflect its own course, with the focus on artistic and academic notions of time and inter-formativity itself. The participatory nature of the symposium - between a conference and an art festival - brings together 40 professionals (artists, curators, scientists, researchers, time-managers) for three days and nights to an intensive sharing and working environment. After being tired of too short coffee breaks and too long presentations, we will attempt to re-order extended and condensed time slots, and experiment with formats of presenting and sharing art and knowledge.
The symposium this year is co-curated by dr. Vytautas Michelkevičius (LT) and Andrew Gryf Paterson (SCO/FIN).
Welcome to the Symposium on (5) Inter-format Symposium from Nida Art Colony in project space Malonioji 6 (Vilnius) on Saturday (5th of September) from 5pm to 9pm
Every hour from 5 pm to 9 pm (5 times) toasts are proposed to each symposium, and to artists´ and curatorial physical and emotional health!
Welcome to experience a symposium in its full course: sitting around symposium table, chatting with curators dr. Vytautas Michelkevičius (LT) and Andrew Gryf Paterson (SCO/FI/FR), browsing through performative archive of 5th Symposium and meeting with participants and their works (such as like Tomas Grunskis audiovisual performance or Jodi Rose radio piece, full list of participants which might appear in non-chronological order is below). It is also possible to use this open time to do nothing.
