Möte09 (meeting09) takes place during Spring 2009 in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Umeå and Malmö. It is a choreographic project and an interdisciplinary and international meeting place that aims to investigate the roles we are given – or choose – when we produce, use and meet art. 35 artists and theorists are invited to collaborate with the objective to share one or several artistic proposals with an audience, on questions regarding Formats of meetings with an audience/user:
How can we search for formats of presentation of art that invites to meetings of inclusion and reciprocal exchange? How is art used as a meeting place? Is there an "aesthetics of meeting"?
To this process we invite the audience/you to take part, meet, discuss and question, share the participants proposals, open process, blogs, discussions and parties. On the web-site you'll find info on the project and the participants, sign up to the newsletter, and contribute by helping us to build an Open Archive.
Very welcome to möte09!
