We believe
that art in nature implies respecting nature, not using or abusing
it for the sake of art. We think that this respect implies a specific
creation for each site. We feel that this approach might be one
way to involve a very large part of the population that has not
so far been interested in the "object oriented" traditional
presentation of art in museums, galleries, and public spaces. |
Art
in nature is one of the areas of art where the famous "new public"
can at last be accessible. |
Many
artists and communities in the world have been creating and progressing
along these lines in the past few decades. Their efforts (our efforts),
have brought an increasing consciousness of this approach to art
making to the population at large. As an organisation, we already
represent a significant number of artists and communities in the
five continents.
So far, prior to the establishment of Artists in Nature International
Network, our encounters have been based on personal affinities,
friendships, and individual networks which have allowed only a limited
number of artists to encounter a limited number of organisers of
events and vice versa. We believe that there is a need to open and
broaden these networks into a large platform of encounter. We expect
this platform to not only help all those who are already active
in this field to know each other, but also to encourage and reassure
those communities who are interested to create new events.
|
To achieve
this, we needed both an organisation and an efficient communication
tool. We have been meeting since December 1998 to refine our ideas,
and created a non-profit association in April 1999, and consequently
confirmed our structure and goals at the end of June 2000. The tool
we chose in May 2001 as our principal form of communication is a
web site which links to the web pages of members, artists and organising
communities. |
A dense
flow of international opportunities and information is regularly
passed to members only. Internal forums set by the members allow
thematic discussions between them. |
We are
open to visual arts, performance, music, writing, video, others...
as long as they are site specific. |
| Being
non-profit oriented, all our activity is based on benevolent
active members. It allows a very low membership fee :
30 euros for artists and 60 euros for event organisers and groups
of artists. |
