START UP is an inspiring and informative
program for and about starting artists, organized by Stroom Den Haag in
collaboration with the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague.
The
afternoon program focusses on current developments of artistic practice
and the significance of the Academy and Stroom for young artists in The
Hague. It is an interactive session, meant to share information in
dialogue. In the evening the program
continues with presentations by several (inter)national curators and
critics. In between these sessions (18:00-19:30 hrs), we offer a
simple meal at a nearby location.
Presentations and exchange of ideas
16:00 - 18:00 hrs
The
afternoon session is specifically meant for artists and autonomous
designers that recently graduated from the Academy and focusses on the
first years of the artistic practice. Presentations by local artists
Gabriel Holysz, Floris Kaayk and Pia Louwerens are alternated with
Q&A sessions in dialogue with the audience about developments,
opportunities and demands of the artistic practice these days and the
significance of Stroom, the Academy and possibly other organisations for
starting creative professionals.
The afternoon offers the audience the
possibility to share knowledge, experience and insight. And to meet the
people behind the organisations. For Stroom and the Academy it is
important to map the wishes and needs of starting artists in order to shape future policy.
Public talks Invest Conference
20:00 - 22:00 hrs
In the evening the public part of the Stroom Invest
Conference 2015 takes place. Ten international curators will talk about their
experiences and will share their ideas and viewpoints with the audience.
Moderator is Eelco van der Lingen, director Nest. This is a great
opportunity to meet&greet these professionals personally and to strengthen the international network.
The Invest Conference is connected with the PRO Invest subsidy, an
important grant for young, recently graduated artists helping them in
the further development of their career and stimulating their active
participation in the art scene of The Hague. For more information, click here.
