MAD Faculty participates in The Methods Lab (RCA)
Our research group Social Spaces and four students of our educational program Communication and MultimediaDesign (Media, Arts and Design Faculty) will participate in a workshop called Ageing in Kensington! at the Royal College of Art. The students will be part of interdisciplinary groups of RCA students and explore new methods to explore the theme of ageing. Social Spaces will present some of its past projects in the health field. The workshop is organised by Yanki Lee (RCA) and our Media, Arts and Design Faculty is partner in the project.

Conference “Art on the Street”
We received this info via email (no website announced):
“Art on the Street”
International Conference held by the Korean Society of Art Theories
Date: Saturday, 23 October, 2010
Location: Kookmin University, Seoul, KOREA
Contact: artntheory@gmail.com
“The conference “Art on the Street” will interrogate the ways in which
the process of creation, perception, and reception of the artwork
relates to the formation of a community. We set out to investigate
specific examples of contemporary art practices in glocal contexts. We
seek to explore artistic practices that resist and/or negotiate in
terms of everyday life, localization, globalization, and social and
cultural structures. We propose art as potential means of collective
empowerment and investigate art practices that help form a community.”

For Real!
Tomorrow For Real opens in Maastricht and Hasselt. This is an art festival that deals with the interrelations between video, art and public space. For Real presents screenings by many interesting artists in public space. Besides that, the festival organises a symposium tomorrow where Social Spaces will be presenting. If you want to participate in the symposium, you first have to register via email (sanne@for-real.eu).
Viewmaster Foundation, the Maastricht Academy for Fine Arts and Design and Maastricht University / Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (Media Culture Master) organise a symposium on the dynamic relationship between virtuality and reality in public spaces and the role of video art in that. How does the public space act when it is used for alternative artistic purposes?
