Savoir-faire and savoir-être, or how to successfully transmit and diffuse new creative techniques in the collective mode. This is the basis for reflection in a joint project conducted by three European institutions which consider “thinking art in another way” a necessity: the Fundació Antoni Tapies in Barcelona, the Museum voor Schone Kunsten (MSK) in Gand, and 49 Nord 6 Est–FRAC Lorraine.
The project is called: “Manufactories of Caring Space-Time,” and its mission is to allow three multidisciplinary collectives three years to operate in and influence three territories. The main idea is to get together in order to experiment.
With th support of Creative Europe Programme of the European Union
