CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
*outside in *emerging expressions, interventions and participation in public space *june 14th-15th @ r=F6da sten, g=F6teborg, sweden
In recent years, emerging technologies and policies have transformed
notions of public space. Mobile phones, surveillance systems and
electronic barriers affect how we spend our time, where we go and how we
express ourselves. What are the new perceptions of our cities and public
spaces? What are aesthetic, cultural and social implications? What is the
impact on creative practices, technology development and civic
stakeholders? What are the emerging tactics and processes for public
engagement? What are the opportunities for expression, intervention and
participation? 'outside in' is a forum for involving new voices, media
and practices in a discourse about the use of public space.
Over 2 days, 'outside in' will promote reflection, participation and action in public space. Featured will be major international voices in public art and graffiti, design and architecture, activism and urban planning, social sciences and politics. Combining presentations, panel discussions, and participatory workshops, symposium activities are intended to engage people from a wide variety of disciplines in sharing and creating together.
Accepted submissions will be published in symposium proceedings and all
attendees will contribute to a public exhibition during the symposium. We
invite participation from designers, artists, musicians, sociologists,
activists, theoreticians, policy-makers, community workers, educators =8A
and everyone concerned with access, design, and use of public space
today!

WORKSHOP DETAILS: We now invite submissions for Outside In workshops!
The symposium format is a unique blend of presentation and participation
styles in order to involve a wide spectrum of voices and expertise in
creative exchange - in the morning of each day will be prominent invited
speakers with keynote presentations and open panel discussions. In the
afternoons, presenters and participants alike will join in workshop
formats, which combine less formal presentations with hands-on activity
to engage and involve a wide spectrum of disciplines, creative voices,
and practitioners in discussing and creating together. Each workshop will
be guided by 2-3 people and will be 4-6 hours long, spread over both
afternoons of the
two-day symposium.
Please note that the only category for submission to Outside In is in
the
workshops! A printed publication from the symposium will feature
outstanding workshop submissions and all workshop outcomes. In addition,
all workshop outcomes will be exhibited at Valand, the Fine Arts Academy
in G=F6teborg, and in other selected galleries and outdoor venues around
the city. Registration for morning presentations and afternoon workshops
will be separate (admission to workshops will only be for accepted
submissions).
