ART CENTRES - CITY MARGINS: ART AT THE PERIPHERY OF EUROPEAN METROPOLISES

October 09, 2011 to November 28, 2011

Together with international curators, project partners and artists, PLATFORM3 is exploring the conditions of art production and curatorial practice at the outer edges of Europe's cities. Art spaces from France, Switzerland and Slovenia participating in this project share a strong interest in specific types of artistic and curatorial practice, taking into consideration the geographic as well as the social context they are dealing with. An international panel will discuss strategies for artistic and cultural production and presentation within Art centres located on City margins. A performance by Jennifer Lacey aims at creating an aesthetic experience within the framework of a series of individual “beauty” treatments open to everybody. Finally, an exhibition by Peter Downsbrough projects the spectator into the surrounding areas of PLATFORM3, where the artist took a series of new photographs.
