> A FLUID CULTURAL LANDSCAPE
> In opposition to traditional art festivals, the NEW LIFE BERLIN
> artistic program is focused on participation and is therefore open
> to proposals from interested artists throughout the Festival
> period. By keeping participation open - while still curated - it is
> the intend of the curatorial team to test the critical value of the
> much discussed online community, while simultaneously serve as an
> investigative platform for a fluid cultural landscape that can no
> longer be controlled by any centralized apparatus.
>
> FESTIVAL PROGRAM
> TRANSNATIONAL COMMUNITIES deals with alternative means of
> representing "community" and "identity" to those of the modern
> nation state. Whether of social or artistic background, the
> projects presented all give rise to group participation and
> advocates real life cultural mobility on one or several levels.
> ARTISTIC SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY questions the relationship between
> cultural practitioners and corporate entities in the new
> millennium. How does contemporary cultural production relate to the
> concept of "Corporate Social Responsibility"?
> PARTICIPATION AND INTERVENTION finally explores participatory
> artistic processes and their relationship to the socio-political
> climate in which they are created. Projects focus on actual
> interaction with the local public and thereby on practical
> investigations of new potentials for civic engagement and empowerment.
