Europe (to the power of) n
Date du début: 1 mai 2012,

Europe (to the power of) n is a project jointly developed and carried out by 4 European cultural operators and many associates.Europe is a frayed construction, whose contours have changed again and again over the course of the centuries – a projection surface for controversial values and moral concepts, for promises just as much as for failures. Nonetheless, it embodies the utopia of a community that not only allows for heterogeneity, but understands it as a quality.This heterogeneity is mirrored by the participating curators of whom 7 are based in programme countries ( Belgium, Turkey, UK, Poland, Serbia, Norway, Spain) and 2 based in third countries (Belarus, Taiwan). The main activities and outcomes of Europe (to the power of) n are as follows:1. In the first stage, the curators are invited to propose scenarios on how one could potentially think about Europe, its identity and diversity. The scenarios are taken as point of departure for the creation of various kinds of artworks in the various cities.2. A mobile architectural display is developed, featuring all the scenarios by means of films, photography and texts. The unit travels to the participating cities to set the various approaches in relation to each other.3. Drawn on the scenarios each curator chooses one or several artists and instigates the production/presentation of artworks, performances and/or debates in the respective cities responding to the given parameters of the site, its political economic, social and cultural implications. 4. A picture driven atlas will document the projects featuring photographic contributions that reflect on issues of representation.5. As Europe increasingly defines itself in relation to China, a special issue of an art magazine dealing with the relationship between China and Europe, is published by Art World Shanghai. Its content will be developed during a meeting between European, Taiwanese and Chinese cultural workers in Macau.
