reSource-net Vorspiel-Meeting

• reSource-net Vorspiel-Meeting: August 29,  2013 - 14.00-18.00

• at c-base (Rungestraße 20, 10179 Berlin, S/U Jannowitzbrücke)

•  

• This meeting of the reSource-net community is dedicated to the proposal of building the transmediale and CTM's pre-festival programme, the "Vorspiel", by creating a process of sharing and synergy among the individuals and the spaces that are part of the reSource network, or close to it. transmediale and CTM's Vorspiel is a pre-festival programme of distributed partner events, where a variety of partner venues invites to a series of exhibition openings, performances, artist talks and special events outside the main venues of either festival. The Vorspiel will take place on the weekend prior to both festivals, from Thursday 23 – Sunday 26 January 2014, at various organisations, galleries, independent project spaces and other venues across Berlin (more information on last year’s Vorspiel programme here: http://www.transmediale.de/de/content/resource-003-p2p-vorspiel).

•  

  This year, transmediale and CTM want to invite the reSource-net community and other spaces in Berlin that are interested to jointly develop a part of the Vorspiel programme in accordance with and oriented by the two festival themes. The meeting will take place at and be hosted by c-base berlin.

With the occasion of the regular network meetings, transmediale and CTM will present both the festival themes and their background. They will introduce the concept and methodology by which the reSource-net Vorspiel programme will be shaped: the initial input will be a set of keywords and key questions related to the festival themes along which the single spaces and curators could develop a project or initiative that represent their individual (or networked) perspective on the theme. After the presentation and introduction there will be time to commonly reflect on the topics and to discuss further steps of programme development.

After this first meeting, the spaces and curators will be asked to send their first draft proposals to transmediale by September 30, 2013. In a follow up collective meeting in October at Podewil, where the transmediale offices are located, the proposals will all be shared by the spaces/initiators in 5-10 minutes presentations. This will hopefully guide to possible collaborations, interplays and synergies of projects and spaces towards the next Vorspiel. In the following months, regular updates on the development and production of these projects will be done in the context of the upcoming reSource-net meetings and they will be further promoted via the overall festival communication of transmediale. In addition to that, a feature on this reSource-net Vorspiel project will be included in the second edition of the new transmediale magazine, due out in January.

We are looking forward to seeing you on the 29th - if you want to take part in this meeting, please let us know and reply to resource@transmediale.de.
