The symposium’s1 goal is to gather artists, curators, researchers and practitioners and reinvent the format of presenting and sharing art, knowledge and experience. One of the key features of contemporary culture is the changing role of the artist, who sometimes assumes the role of a researcher and curator, and vice versa. Where are the borders of these roles? How could a serious researcher and theorist do a performance, and how could a playful artist do serious research and theorize?

One of the key question of Symposium is “Sustainable Eco/nomies/logies: Adapting to the Future” which covers new ways of collaboration between artists & curators & researchers, looking for new formats in order to adapt to the new conditions of changing art world, institutions and audiences.

The symposium in Nida is going to be an ongoing performance with lectures, discussions, presentations, coffee/wild herbal tea drinking circles, dinner with conceptual sentiments (to everybody’s health), eco-minimal-media events, audio-lobby, imaginary mapping, smell sightseeing, etc.

The event tends to be a long dinner served with opinions and experiences.

The format would be not only the form, but also the content: INTERFORMAT aims to rethink the history of format, its change, meaning, standardization, etc.)
