Inter-format Symposium 2015: On time and inter-formativity

Inter-format symposium will bring together around 40 artists, art historians, curators, researchers, philosophers and practitioners for 3 days and nights, to interchange their insights on time and inter-formativity, and to share the material, experience and proposals for artistic and academic audiences.

The 5th edition of the Inter-format symposium has two goals:
• To reflect upon the symposium as an experiential and discursive space beyond our usual understanding what is a lecture (seminar, presentation, discussion, etc.) and performance (stand-up, participatory event, jam session, etc.).
• To consider the role of time as a medium for sharing experiences and knowledge, including it’s out/on-goingness and limitations.

Questions and keywords

How do Nida and other remote places change the perception and flow of time? Value of condensed and extended time; Tools to measure or lose time; Disciplines of time and timing; Re-iterations and reflections; Durational practices; Chrono-hopes and fears; What happens when presentation time is swapped with coffee breaks? Scheduling overlaps and interventions; Down-time, End-time: Chronopolitics; Practice-based and theory-based understandings of time; Performance instead of lecture and theory-building by performing; Squeezing your 2 years research into 2 or 20 min and avoiding powerpoint presentations

Call for proposals

We favour proposals in between the standard formats of lecture, workshop or performance, for example, performative lecture or workshop, an intervention or sharing of experience, briefing, walk, (un)guided tour, exercise. But it may also be a method, tool or device which assists our programme.
We welcome general scheduling proposals for the 5th Inter-format symposium. Imagine that you are contributing to setting up the programme including all 40 participants within the 3 days. Time is the limited resource we will share. Tell about your preference for the amount of time required. We wish to give space to all participants to contribute. We need to make time for self-organised food preparation, cooking in groups as well as eating.

Please send proposals (max. 4 A4 pages, including abstract up to 300 words, short bios, images and portfolio links if relevant) to vytautasnidacolony.lt as attachment with a subject line „Proposal for inter-format symposium 2015“.

Support

There is a limited amount of travel grants available (up to 200 EUR reimbursement), and we welcome you to co-fund your participation. Food for collective meals (breakfasts and dinners) will be provided for self-organised catering. Accommodation in Nida Art Colony in 2-3 beds rooms also provided.

Curated by dr. Vytautas Michelkevičius (LT) and Andrew Gryf Paterson (SCO/FIN)
