The project
The primacy of change project is aimed to gather artists who are concerned by a practice of art which could create a social change.
The social change would be a change in their own life but also or indeed in their production.
creating a platform of collaboration with guest artists from abroad and from belgium, the primacy of change is proposing a meeting and discussions around this problematic of an art practice which is taking a political form.
Do you think art could lead a social change ? following some tools of reflexion given by authors, artists and theoretician we will set a round table to talk about these issues.
Content
Considering that Art has a political place in our society which is not or non recognized sometimes, we would like to open a round table form of discussions and ideas about : what is the place of art in the social change nowadays ?
Following examples of practices and theorical ideas already developed in the XX century we would like to gather artists in Belgium or abroad to exchange ideas and re-consider what could lead to a political participation of Art in our society.
Starting from the definition of what is "political" in Art and why? until which limitations and borders into the art practice ? or is there a limitation of the definition of Art itself through this definition of "political"?
Many examples of artistic practices will be discussed but the final aim of this meeting would be to open and exchange a constructive theorical base for finding an individual or collective practice or project together.
The idea is to go out from this meeting with new tools by :
encounters, exchange of working tools , discussions, self- positioning on art practices, what is the censorship into art practices, the over-identification and activism movements , artist in exile and their political place, ethic and aesthetic of the social practice, anonymous form of work.
