Looking to collaborate with Art/In Forum? Considering hosting or programming an event with us.
Art/In events feature people, places, and projects at the intersection of multiple perspectives.
You bring the insight, audience, topic, or question. We help you invite in artistic perspectives, or highlight the artistic intelligence, if it’s embedded already.
The following are key programming formats; you may also propose a different idea altogether.
Fill Your Cup
Fill Your Cup is an informal salon-style gathering of participants seeking to connect, replenish the spirit, and renew their appetite for inter/transdisciplinary work. The gathering may have a suggested theme, and is hosted, but discussions may drift in accordance with who is in the room.
With permission, quotes are featured in membership communications and social media.
‘Fill your cup’ is a metaphor for replenishing your inner resources, as well as a literal invitation to bring a cup of your favourite beverage to sip as we gather and linger over an interesting topic or question.
In Vitro & In Vivo
In Vitro & In Vivo features a specific speaker, and invites more focused engagement with the object of study. Together, we behold and discuss a specific artist, practice, or even a concept like ‘innovation.’ The inquiry touches on theory and practice.
These bright and brief, real-time investigations are written up for The Field.
‘In vitro’ is Latin for ‘within glass,’ referring to something that is being studied in a controlled environment, e.g. test tubes or laboratory dishes. By contrast, ‘in vivo’ means ‘within the living’ and refers to studies within the living organism, under ‘real life’ conditions, more or less.
In Situ
In Situ features several speakers from different geographies speaking to the problem space as they see it, from their position in the world. The multiple vantage points illuminate real complexity. We practice the discomfort of multiplicity, not flattening the world into one global view.
We publish excerpts from speakers in an editorial for The Field.
‘In situ’ art refers to work created specifically for a particular location, taking into account the site’s unique characteristics. In situ art (literally, in-the-place art) is understood to relate to a specific site. The localized context or placement is integral to the work.
