In the morning we will invite all the conference visitors to participate in one of the work tables, thinking together about ‘fair practices’ within specific aspects of the artistic practice. At every table one or more specific ‘cases’ will be presented, which the group can unravel: what are aspects of ‘fairness’ and how to reach them?
In the conversations in preparation of this conference, we introduced the concept of ‘currencies’ which define the relations and exchanges between the different actors. that can be used as building block in the discussions ‘currencies’. These: finances, communication, material and immaterial values, visibility and decision-making.
The table discussion will be led by a moderator and noted down by a reporter. At the end of the morning each table will formulate concrete insights into what ‘fairness’ consists of and how to reach it, which will be presented in the afternoon and offered for discussion.
