Black/North SEAS
Tromsø kommune er partner i dette tverrfaglige prosjektet som utforsker kunstens rolle for byfornyelse og miljø i byer ved svartehavet i sør og nordsjøen i nord. Alle byene er i endring ettersom den tradisjonelle havnevirksomheten blir borte. Hvem bestemmer hva som skjer med havneområdene? Kan kunst påvirke?
Prosjekt: Black/North SEAS
Black/North SEAS is an arts adventure that reveals in story, song and image a vision of Europe drawn from the experiences of the communities that live on its shoreline.
16 contemporary, interdisciplinary, trans-national art works in performance, music, visual arts and digital media have been commissioned by Intercult from leading European companies and artists. In 2007 each creator took a “blind date” with a fellow artist or company in a town or city on the coast of the Black and the North Seas. After their “dates” the artists proposed a new piece of art inspired by their time together and the place they visited.
Black/North SEAS is an ongoing investigation of how artistic initiatives can lift urban re-invention and environmental issues to the forefront, through the very act of concretely confronting the contemporary city scape.
