Organizational Art Summit

At ‘Organisational Art Summit’ 20 leading artists, practitioners and researchers meet to explore contemporary art projects where organisations and organisational issues are central themes in the art itself.

INVITATION TO ORGANISATIONAL ART SYMPOSIUM

The ‘Organisational Art Summit’ takes place on 25-28 of November in Liseleje, Denmark. The research consortium ‘The Creative Alliance’ at Learning Lab Denmark and a group of contemporary artists have teamed up to organise this international summit for twenty leading artists, practitioners and researchers, on what tentatively is called ‘Organisational Art’. With this art form professional artists are currently creating an important new field that works together with non-artistic organisations - companies, institutions, governments, communities and NGOs - to produce art, which is characterised as conceptual, socially engaged, trans-discursive and contextual. With their art projects they aim to advance and challenge both art and organisational practices.
