IETM Autumn Plenary Meeting in Glasgow, 04-07 November 2010
From 04-11-10 till 07-11-10 - Glasgow, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Plenary meeting - Europe - posted by IETM on 28.04.10
Following on from ‘Plan C’ in Berlin, ‘(C)lan IETM’ is invited to come together in Glasgow this Autumn, to explore our many possible futures together under the working theme of ‘VOICES’. Shout out your wishes, share your opinions and cast your thoughts like autumn leaves into the void. There’s a chance we’ll hear the echo of our voices whisper answers in return.
‘I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of hunger for life that gnaws in us all’. Richard Wright
Following a volcanic IETM meeting in one of Europe’s many central cities, we will arrive in Scotland - a small country on the edge of Europe; a country with an old and complex history. A nation with ambitious dreams for its future, a people with a need to be seen, heard and understood. What do you know of this country? Its people? Its Culture?
Scotland, battered by the sea, harried by the wind and rain, Glasgow, its wild place within. Together they hold untold beauty, warmth, serenity and humor in their peoples, stones and earth. Our hub-from-home will be the CCA (The centre for Contemporary Art) - with talks and events embracing the entire city, its people and its culture.
Like many of our global neighbours, Scotland is a country of multiple voices – both indigenous and adopted. “After Berlin, IETM will never be the same”, they said... come to the IETM Glasgow Autumn Plenary Meeting to find out! Contribute your voice to the wealth of diversity and practice, exploring our theme, “VOICES”: the political and artistic voices, individual and collective, with different languages and tones, in Europe and beyond, paying attention to the environment and reflecting the economy…
As always there will be lots to talk about!
We invite you then, to gather this Autumn in Glasgow to examine the space, both physical and metaphorical that artists inhabit in order to create work of integrity; one that provokes and challenges; drives and propels our culture.
Join together in the “Dear Green Place’ with songs of discourse, words of rhyme, noise, ideas, language, music, movement and laughter.
See you in November!
