PARTNERS
apollonia, european
art exchanges (France)
apollonia is an association governed under the terms of
local law, founded in 1998, following on from work that
began in 1994 under the auspices of the Council of Europe as
part of the European Artistic Exchanges Programme. Apollonia
functions as a genuine cooperative platform between European
countries (and in particular the CEEC, the Balkans and
Southern Caucasus) by bringing together artists, exhibition
curators, art critics, galleries, museums and cultural
institutions and operators.
The principal activities of the association are:
- Organisation of the network
- Organisation of European-wide events of various kinds:
- travelling exhibitions (2003-04, 34 exhibitions, 380
artists);
- European University (2003-04: 2 Universities, 67
speakers);
- Forum of Thessaloniki (2003-04: 2 Forums, 180
speakers);
- artists’ and art critics’ residences (2003-04: 10
residences);
- conferences (2003-04: 6 conferences, 27
speakers)...
- Widespread distribution of information (Publications,
Internet, Art Review…) relative to contemporary creation in
the countries at the periphery of Europe.
Objectives
apollonia encourages cultural diversity and plurality of
expression of contemporary artists throughout Europe.
The association (which employs 5 permanent staff members)
has as its objective:
- the integration of artists and cultural operators from more
far-flung areas into the Western European network
- encouraging artistic mobility through the organisation of
major events in which they can participate
- to increase the awareness of the public by publishing
several editions (catalogues, conference acts), and
organising meeting with the artists in the framework of
thematic conferences and while in residence.
Role in ARTVENTURE, visual art network
The overall coordination will be the responsibility of
apollonia. A Management Committee composed by
representatives of the partners will meet every six months
in order to evaluate the current situation: calendar,
activities and administrative aspects.
By its expertise in Central and Eastern Europe and the
Southern Caucasus area, apollonia will activelly participate
in the ARTVENTURE network building. Having broached a set of
themes through several projects (as mobility, criticism,
innovative practices in art), apollonia will lead some of
ARTVENTURE projects.
