N.O.W. aims to build the groundwork for a transnational competency cluster. Starting from a common expertise (managing the implementation of an artistic project and its reception by audiences), the 7 partners are engaging in an exploration within an experimental setting. They aim to develop a long-lasting prospective reflection in regards to their practices. This experimental structure is made up of 4 labs that shape the project and determine the 3 years program of activities.
• LAB 1 - Strengthening competencies
FORMULATING AND SHARING research and needs relative to the evolution of the work environment and its impact on artistic practices and their social integration / PUTTING INTO PERSPECTIVE the synergy between the different stakeholders in the artistic management field for a common vision of art as experimentation / STRENGTHENING new competency profiles surrounding artistic careers, now and in the upcoming years
• LAB 2 - A management structure based on networks
RETHINKING the artists’ careers beyond national contexts and frameworks / EXPERIMENTING with a collegial and transnational management approach that is adapted to the current setting / MANAGING the projects’ strategic development and financial models in order to ensure a better sustainability for the artists’ careers
• LAB 3 - Innovating tools of production: investigating commissions
SETTING UP a framework in which artistic commissions invite citizens to participate / SETTING UP a framework in which the backer doesn’t only participate in the beginning and end of the process but also becomes a representative or advocate promoting the process itself / SETTING UP a framework that allows for the artist’s local involvement in response to a request or need arising from civil society
• LAB 4 - Outreach and representation tools as restitution of the creative process
EMPHASIZING AND RELAYING the importance of the creative process to professionals, backers, and audiences / WORKING on new tools that enable other kinds of relaying, restitution, and promotion of the creative process / INVESTING in the field of outreach and representation by creating a space for critical thinking
