Open Engagement: Art After Aesthetic Distance
will take place October 11, 12, and 13 in Regina, SK. Hosted by the
University of Regina

With keynote artist: Harrell Fletcher

More Information on Open Engagement visit:
www.jendelosreyes.com/openengag ement

About:
Artists continue to challenge our traditional ideas of what art is and
does. A recent emphasis on art as service, social space, activism, as
interactions and art as relationships may signal a paradigm shift.
These practices raise many questions: what is the social role of the
artist? What should art do? Who is art for? Writers such as Nicolas
Bourriaud, Suzanne Lacy, Carol Becker, Grant H. Kester, Miwon Kwon and
Claire Bishop are among those thinkers who have described and
investigated the trend toward art works that open spaces, invite in
the everyday and offer to create new and temporary communities and
structures. Art after aesthetic distance implies that we are now in an
age of aesthetic nearness in which art and life are considered less as
inhabiting different spaces, and more as roommates.

Open Engagement: Art After Aesthetic Distance is a three-day
conference focused on relational art practices. We will strive to find
new models of communicating the work, theory and writing that surround
relational art. This conference is situated in the space between
theory and practice, where participants will also engage in artworks.
Among the self-reflexive topics to be explored include: How can art
openly engage with public space? With art audiences? With everyday
life? How can we openly engage with one another? Working together can
be difficult, trying and fraught with conflict. Working with a group
can be simultaneously the most challenging and rewarding experience
one can have in life. Making sincere connections to each other can be
just as hard, but those relationships are the foundation of our
personal lives and social networks.

The goal of Open Engagement is to bring together like-minded
individuals to confer on subjects of common interest and forge lasting
connections. This is an intense, immersive, around the clock
experience. It is a conference, mini-residence and workshop.
Participants can partake in experiences that connect them with each
other, artists, art institutions and the local arts community. All
aspects of this event contribute to the discussions and explorations
of the themes of the conference. Out-of-town participants will be
billeted with a member of the local arts community. Hosts will take
participants to and from the conference and participants will make
meals together, share meals together, and are encouraged to thank
their hosts by leaving a created trace.

This is relational aesthetics, post-Bourriaud: striving for art that
desires for something real to happen, not just the imitation of
something real; something that is everyday, rather than just implies
the everyday; communities that are sustainable, as opposed to the
temporary and momentary. What happens when two people really connect?
What happens when art really connects? What could we do in our daily
lives to form connections and build communities? What can we do in our
practices? What could we do in the environments that we inhabit, and
work in, in addition to the spaces we exhibit in? Can artists in their
daily lives show possible ways of living? Can art be the alternative?
Can art be the answer? In a time when it is easy for people to feel
disconnected, what can art do?

You are invited to contribute to Open Engagement by submitting your
project and paper ideas that find a place for the integration of
relational art practices as part of this conference. Each day of this
three-day conference, hosted by the University of Regina, will explore
in-depth issues raised within relational art practices and
post-relational practices. Your proposal can include interventions,
ways of living, and imagined spaces. You are encouraged to think of
ways to connect peers and colleagues at this conference as well as to
connect and engage a greater community.

Submission:
Part 1: Propose a project, paper, discussion or intervention that
touches on one or more of the three themes listed below. You could
also think about re-interpreting the notion of conference, or
intervene in to its traditional structure.

Part 2: A short bio (100 words or less).

Part 3: Fill out the brief questionnaire and application form. We want
to help you make interesting connections at this conference, and this
will help us facilitate that!

Each day of the conference will focus on different areas of
investigation. Listed below are the three streams, related questions
and sentiments that your proposals should address:

A.You are all that I see: Art and everyday experience

B.It takes two: Collaborations, collectives, other team relationships

C.I’ll Call you: Long term relationships, communities, and connectivity.
