Waarom moeten nieuwe media kunstenaars subsidie krijgen?
Cool Media Hot Talk Show
Do.It.Yourself.-talkshow over kunst en media.
De Balie, Woensdag 17 oktober 2007
Aanvang: 20.30 uur
New Media Art Subsidies & Alternative Support Models
www.coolmediahottalk.net
Het thema van deze aflevering is ‘New Media Art Subsidies’ en sluit
daarmee aan op de rumoerige discussie over subsidies voor beeldende
kunst in Nederland. Met name het boek Second Opinion, verschenen bij
NAi Uitgevers onder redactie van de Mondriaanstichting en het Fonds
BKVB heeft de discussie flink op stoom gebracht. Maar wat betekent
deze discussie voor de nieuwe vormen van mediakunst? Zijn er nog
avantgardisten en hebben die eigenlijk wel subsidie nodig?
Discussieer mee op de website van de Cool Media Hot Talk Show:
www.coolmediahottalk.net
Sprekers zijn:
David Garcia, kunstenaar en onderzoeker, Portsmouth University /
Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht (HKU). David heeft in samenwerking
met het Virtueel Platform en de Arts Council of England het afgelopen
jaar een onderzoek uitgevoerd naar samenwerking van kunstenaars met
andere disciplines en sectoren. Het boek dat daar uit voort is
gekomen, "(Un)common Ground: Creatieve Encounters Across Sectors and
Disciplines" is verschenen bij BIS Publishers. De vraag is of deze
nieuwe vormen van samenwerking kunstenaars nieuwe mogelijkheden, of
zelfs nieuwe vrijheden bieden?

Lex ter Braak, is directeur van het Fonds voor Beeldende Kunsten,
Vormgeving en Bouwkunst (Fonds BKVB) en één van de drijvende krachten
achter het boek Second Opinion en de nu woedende discussie over
subsidies voor beeldende kunst in Nederland. Aan ter Braak is vooral
de vraag voorgelegd hoe hij vanuit de praktijk van zijn fonds tegen
dit soort samenwerkingen tussen kunstenaars en andere sectoren
aankijkt? Wat levert het op? Ontstaan er wellicht nieuwe kwaliteiten?

STATEMENT OF DAVID GARCIA:
Public Funding for the Creative Un-commons
For the last year I have been part of a network of researchers
looking at the role of art and design as both a catalyst for
collaboration across sectors and disciplines.
The project is all about coming to terms with the reality not only of
our interconnectedness but also of our interdependence. It explores
examples of groups collaborating with others outside of their usual
tribal affinities. Our metaphor of uncommon ground indicates that we
can only do this by accepting and living with our differences even
our antagonisms, hence uncommon not common ground. The project is not
about consensus building it is about the accepting even dramatizing
difference.
I see the corporate, industrial and governmental sector as unable to
do take this role alone without a vibrant cultural sector willing to
tell risky stories that take us outside of our comfort zones. Such
work can never be financed from the market place alone.
The last sentence should make it clear that in this talk I am not
taking a neutral stance. I see an urgent need for an increase in
public subsidy for the arts. I will give case study examples of where
the public and private sectors along with individual artists and
developers have worked together successfully. But I also want to make
it clear that these collaborations will entail a fight to maintain a
well resourced publicly financed cultural sector. This should be
based on revising many of the current notions of accountability and
re-introduce the notion of responsibility. More about this
distinction in the talk.
Every experience I have during the development in the (Un) common
Ground research project points to the value of maintaining (in fact
increasing) public funding for both research and the arts. However, a
shift in mentality is required in which the public sector should be
seen as more than another income stream, or an alternative venture
capitalist looking for a return on investment, or even a means of
consolidating national norms and values. The public sector should
hold to a wider conception of the public good that embraces the
implications of an interconnected world.
A balanced cultural diet in our pluralistic societies (containing
both minorities and minority tastes) should maintain a full cultural
spectrum ranging from popular culture to uncompromising and difficult
cultural experiments which are able to take risks that accountability
to share holders alone would never permit, Such a balance is part and
parcel of a healthy society.
So my argument will call for a widespread movement to protect public
subsidies for serious cultural discourse, which are currently being
whittled away across all the liberal democracies. But I will also
argue that it is important to achieve this in ways that go beyond
the ?container category? of the nation state. Our issues are simply
too big for the current epidemic of nationalist obsessions; art
should lead the way in re-metropolonisation of our societies.
At a point in which all other areas are globalising is it possible to
think of public funding for the arts in ways that transcend
conceptions of national identity and competitiveness?
In my talk I will use examples case studies and evidence from both
inside and outside of the (Un) common Ground research program, to
support these arguments. I want to make it clear however that I am
just one editor these are my views and conclusions. The question is
are they mine alone?
