Club' trifft 'Verein fuer Aktuelle Kunst' im Nags Head
Gast: Eamon O'Machail, Bezirksregierung Waltham Forest
Vier Künstler des Vereins für aktuelle
Kunst, die anlässlich der Ausstellung mit ELP nach
London gereist waren, trafen am Sonnntag, den 20. Mai
2007 Mitglieder des Waltham Forest Arts Club. Ziel war
es, Anknüpfungspunkte für gemeinsame Projekte
zu finden.
Hier das Protokoll der Versammlung:
There was a meeting with members of the Arts
Club, members of the German Arts Club "Verein fuer Aktuelle
Kunst" and Eamon O'Machail from Waltham Forest Council
at the Nags Head on Sunday, 20 May 2007, 6pm. The subject
matter was to meet and greet each other and to find links
and mutual opportunities.
ART TRAILS
At the meeting, it was established that both arts clubs
run annual/bi-annual art trails based on very similar
principles with a brochure and a map. It could be a possibility
to invite each other to exhibit art at each others' trails.
If any members of WF Arts Club would like to investigate
this further and talk to German artists about it, please
contact katjarosenberg@hotmail.com But you could always
contact artists of the club directly: post@aktuelle-kunst-ev.de
ANNUAL SHOWS OF ART CREATED BY/WITH YOUNG PEOPLE LEADING
UP TO THE OLYMPICS
The Borough is running yearly shows of art created by
young people, the plan is to grow this more and more year
by year and to show a good mixture of all shows about
the different subject matters that have been worked on
over the years during the Olympics in 2012.
The theme for the coming year is expected
to be "nature", yet to be confirmed. Eamon and Sue are
hoping to be able to start exchanges with young artists
from elsewhere rolling. The German artists reported that
their club has got a number of art teacher members who
would be happy to catch the ball. Eamon will inform the
German artists of the theme for next year's displays as
soon as this is confirmed. Katja to help create exhibition
spaces for any projects that the Germans would like to
propose. Are there other artists in the club who are connected
to artists in their originating country and who would
like to act as a contact for their country in the same
way? This could lead to a great cross-border network of
artists if we want it to. Please let Eamon know if this
fits your shoe. Eamon.OMachail@walthamforest.gov.uk Once
again, thanks from the Germans to all the welcoming Waltham
Forest artists who offered them a bed to sleep in for
all your hospitality! They hope to be able to return the
favour in the future. Also thanks to all Waltham Forest
artists who paid the private view for the show of the
German arts club at the City Hall a visit the next evening.
