Expedition
Expedition is a platform for discussion between France (Les Laboratoires d’Aubervilliers), the Netherlands (Gasthuis/Amsterdam) and Austria (Brut/Vienna) for emerging artists concerned with performance practices, whether they be dance, theatre or visual art and sculpture. This group of 14 artists went through three work sessions in three different cities (2008). At each of these three stages, the artists sought ways to compare their practices, techniques and tools looking beyond the differences related to their geographic and cultural background, their disciplines, experiences or respective networks. They engaged in collaboration, debate, friendship. The book gives an account of this experience. In it, each artist presents one of his/her tools, or ways of making art, shown here so that it can be shared and used by all.
