EVENT CLOSES
Keeping it real takes place informally and across approximately five hours on Sunday 21st March 2004 in Reykjavik's Living Art Museum. It will fit around and to a degree complement the collaborative project 'Manyfacture', taking place in the building and which involves the Museum and the Critical Studies course at Malmö Art Academy, Sweden.
The event is intended for practitioners with an interest in cultural process and production - not restricted to cultural institutions. It is structured to permit a broadly representative participation - including across public, private and not-for-profit sectors.
The focus is PRACTICAL and NOT theoretical. It is hoped that dialogue as well as practice development will centre on real cases contributed by participants themselves.
The occasion will afford networking opportunities for interested parties.
The colloquium is devised and animated by aladin/alkhemi U.K. with the collaboration of Rebecca Ragnarsdottir/Living Art Museum, Marita Muukkonen/NIFCA, Manyfacture/Malmo Art Academy and the Nordic Council. The event will be jointly chaired by aladin and the individuals named above and hosted by Living Art Museum
