Producers and artists from around Europe joined us for a series of conversations exploring the future of international artistic collaborations.
In 2011 Artichoke, producers of Lumiere Durham, collaborated with Skyway Festival in Poland and Valgusfestival in Estonia to create a shared programme of work called Lux Scientia. Three artists, Simeon Nelson (UK), Domink Lejman (Poland), and Leonardo Meigas (Estonia), worked with scientists to create installations shown at each festival. The artworks explored the relationship between art and science.
This symposium brought together these artists in conversation with Artichoke’s Director Helen Marriage to discuss how the co-production influenced the development of their work. The event examined how to further develop future European collaborations and included commentary from the European Culture Fund.
