				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3487" title="IMG_5772" src="http://artline-southbaltic.eu/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/IMG_5772-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />The international art project Art Line, with five Baltic Sea countries and 14 institutions as partners, has presented itself in Brussels. Tuesday the 18th of March visitors and artists gathered in the Belgian art institution iMAL’s premises. The Art Line project was presented through lectures and screenings. Several works of art created during the project were also presented.</p>
<p>&#8220;Art makes people and regions grow&#8221; was the heading for the invitation to the Art Lines presentation. The project has apparently been able to attract many fans, as evidenced by the fact that during this afternoon and evening was spoken German, Polish, Swedish, and due to the local presence also French and Flemish along with the predominant project language English.</p>
<p>The project leader Torun Ekstrand presented the project, which in retrospect have been very successful. Art Line is partly financed by the EU and started partly because there was a need for a cultural infrastructure between the countries around the Baltic Sea. After three years networks and numerous personal contacts have been established. Art Line project is soon officially ended, but it will live on the web &#8211; and of course also in the networks that have been established.</p>
<p>Art Line chose iMAL as setting for this presentation partly because it is conveniently located in the center of Brussels, partly because this is an institution that integrates outreach, exhibitions, performances, with a medialab where artists can experiment and interact with the help of modern technology.</p>
<p>Art created with modern technology was also a major theme during the event. Among other participants were able to try Piotr Wyrzykowskis award-winning works &#8220;Water memory&#8221; that combines art, poetry, history, music with a modern presentation technology on tablets. This was done outdoors. Inside the premises there were giant presentations of web pages, for instance the comprehensive catalogue on the web that contains essays and presentations of Art Lines in projects and exhibitions. There was also a small exhibition that featured Ronneby-based Swedish Waterjet lab&#8217;s activities. It combines art and modern water jet technology and the business has been a part of Art Line.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3454" title="12970651333_d34cd9a9bf_o" src="http://artline-southbaltic.eu/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/12970651333_d34cd9a9bf_o-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Art Line – A Baltic Co-Operation</strong></h2>
<p><strong> A catalogue with two lives &#8211; printed and Online</strong></p>
<address>2014. English. Size: cm. 264 pages. Design of the printed and the online versions of the catalogue Mateusz Pęk and Klaudia Wrzask. ISBN 978-91-978807-4-6 <a href="http://www.artlinecatalogue.eu" target="_blank">www.artlinecatalogue.eu</a></address>
<address> </address>
<p><strong>The essays in the catalogue</strong> reflect upon the wide range of art projects executed within the multi-year project Art Line(2011-2014) where fourteen Baltic institutions worked collaboratatively to investigate and challenge the concepts of public space, particularily the relationship between the digital and the physical realms. The catalogue responds to the mixed media content of the project and hence exists in two formats, in print and in an extended digital version with more essays and artworks included. In the online catalogue the visitor has access to Art Online, videos, sound works, lectures, documentaries and to an online gallery exhibition about the storytelling project “Telling the Baltic.” An artistic rendering of all projects, “A Message From Another Shore” by Nicola Bergström Hansen concludes the project in the form of a playful examination of the visual traces of creativity and collaboration.</p>
<p><strong>Art in our public spaces,</strong> both in the digital and within the “real” venues, has been one of the overarching topics as well as experiments in art and digital technologies within the international collaboration Art Line. The project itself derived from the need for a stronger cultural infrastructure in the Baltic region. Art Line was a long-term interdisciplinary cooperation anchored in 14 art institutions and academies and as a result had created a collaborative platform between Poland, Sweden, Germany, Lithuania and Russia.</p>
<p><strong>Art Line worked on different arenas</strong> and locations to meet new audiences through workshops, exhibitions, public space projects, interactive art works, online projects, contests, storytelling activities, conferences and workshops about art and science, art and technology, art and digital media and about art in public space. Artists showed works in gallery/museum settings &amp; in re-located settings at other types of museums and in technology parks. Works were presented outside of the gallery and museum context in the public spaces of our cities: in housing areas; in parks, outside shopping centers and in more unconventional settings: on the sea; by the seafront, as art works on our website and on smart phones or tablets; Art Online and the Mobile Art Applications and in crossmedia-projects combining digital and real space: as artists’ experiments in technology laboratories on the ferries moving between Sweden and Poland, and in arenas beyond How often does a ferry turn into an art gallery, and how often does an art gallery cast off and leave its’ comfort zones to travel beyond its walls?</p>
<p><strong>The European Commission appointed Art Line a Flagship project</strong>, and it is now part of the Action Plan for the Baltic Sea Strategy. Art Line is seen as a high quality project with a focus on contemporary art and digital media technologies. The initial project period was 2011-2014, but the network will be developed geographically and conceptually during this year.</p>
<p><strong>The catalogue contains</strong> texts by art critics, curators, artists and researchers: Michaela Crimmin, Julia Draganovic, Michał Bieniek, Kuba Szreder, Julita Wójcik, Jacob Lillemose, Ryszard W. Kluszczyński, Agnieszka Wołodźko, Bettina Pelz, Torun Ekstrand, Catharina Gabrielsson, Oscar Guermouche, Agnieszka Kulazinska, Gernot Wolfram, Martin Schibli, Ryszard W.

<p dir="ltr"><strong>T</strong>he cross-border art project Art Line is presented in a catalogue, an impressive 260 pages book. It was officially presented at the Art Line final conference, February 4 in Gdansk, Poland. But a printed catalogue is not enough, there is another one on the net!</p>
<p dir="ltr">The catalogue that describes the project is extensively illustrated and contains several essays on the subjects that have been addressed in the different subprojects and events of Art Line. The contents page reveals what this might be: Art in public space, Art in digital and physical space, Digital art platform, Telling the Baltic, collaborative storytelling project and The culture tourist. There is also an concluding text by Larry Okey Ugwu of the Baltic Cultural Center in Gdansk who stresses the fact that culture now is a priority area in the EU strategy for the Baltic Sea Region.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Art Line is a cooperation between five South Baltic countries and 14 partners. It is partly EU financed and includes art galleries, museums, academy and a shipping company.  It started in 2011 and during its existence, a number of exhibitions, workshops, lectures and other cultural exchanges of different kinds have taken place in Poland, Sweden, Lithuania, Germany and Russia (Kaliningrad).</p>
<p dir="ltr">But the printed catalogue is not all. There is also a digital version of it, with even more material, links to video, online artworks, documentaries, lectures etc. This will be possible to enjoy at least until 2020.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Many different people can benefit from this catalogue: those who wants to get new insights about the contemporary art scene in this part of the world, scholars who are interested in what is going on in the field where art and technology aswell as art and science meet, city planners who need feed for new thoughts on the use of public space, museum people in need of inspiration to take new daring steps in their work… Yes, anybody who wants to know more about contemporary culture in the countries around the Baltic Sea can find the two catalogues very useful.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Of course, Art Line will live on after March 31. The website, including the web version of the catalogue will live on for five years, at least. The new connections and the friendships that are a result of all the good work will last even longer.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Do you want the printed version of the Catalogue? Order it from Blekinge museum, Borgmästaregatan 21, 37135 Karlskrona, Sweden. There is a postage fee.</p>
<p>The online catalogue can be found at: <strong id="docs-internal-guid-de697898-9805-117f-e383-49809998ef95"><a href="http://www.artlinecatalogue.eu">www.artlinecatalogue.eu</a></strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Starting in March 2014, Blekinge museum opens an exhibition summarizing one of the many ventures of the project Art Line, namely Telling the Baltic ( TTB ). TTB began back in 2011 when Art Line was brand new and has been a very exciting way to interact. People who rarely have had a voice in the art scene is here inspiring a group of artists. These have then created a joint exhibition which has been touring in the five countries included in the project Art Line.</strong></p>
<p>TTB is a unique collaboration between museums, art institutions , academies, nearly 30 artists and hundreds of storytellers . There were several phases in this work: 1) collection, interviews 2) Workshop in Blekinge and Nida Art Colony in Lithuania 3) A touring exhibition . Participating institutions included the Blekinge Institute of Technology , Kunsthalle Rostock , Vilnius Academy of Art , Centre for Contemporary Art , Gdansk ; NCCA Kaliningrad. Stories were submitted by journalists, scholars and artists. With the exhibition at Blekinge museum 2014 the circle is closed. For it was here that the first exhibition opened in the summer of 2012.</p>
<p>It was a fantastic show with a variety of expressions. No one involved will forget the performance by the Polish artist Anna Steller held in the museum&#8217;s Baroque Garden – “unrelenting beauty of disaster” . It&#8217;s a performance about one of the worst maritime disasters ever. The German refugee ship Wilhelm Gustloff was torpedoed in 1945 and 9000 people died in about an hour.</p>
<p>It is also worth mentioning that the TTB when it appeared in the Russian region of Kaliningrad, the exhibition was cleverly integrated with the regular permanent exhibition on The Museum of the World &#8216;s Oceans in Kaliningrad. It was very successful , although one or other visitors to the museum may have been surprised to find contemporary art among the &#8220;ordinary&#8221; objects . Simultaneously, this meeting between museum objects and contemporary art is a reminder that the line between &#8220;truth&#8221; and fiction is not in any way obvious .</p>
<p>The exhibition wandered around to all five countries involved in the project Art Line. In the summer of 2013 it was divided into two equal parts that could be experienced on Stena Line ferries Vision and Spirit , which operates the Karlskrona- Gdynia line – a true “art line”.</p>
<p>The idea of the stories was that they would serve as sources of inspiration. But pretty soon it turned out that they could live their own life. They will appear in an on-line exhibition which will open in March. So if you want to read stories, watch movies , listen to interviews , soon it will be possible! Look at Art Line&#8217;s website ( where we , among other things, that a link to this virtual exhibition):</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr"><strong>The question is not so often outspoken, but it is there just the same: Why is Blekinge museum lead partner in an international art project ? There are many answers &#8211; the simplest is perhaps that it is actually included in Blekinge Museum&#8217;s responsibility to protect and present even contemporary art and also to maintain a Baltic profile. Already there Art Line beats two birds with one stone.</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Art Line began in 2011. It feels like yesterday, but now that we are facing closure and summing it all up, we realize that so much has been accomplished. We have created a natural and highly appreciated cooperation between people and institutions on both sides of the Baltic Sea, a new infrastructure that was not there before. In addition, cooperation locally in each region , such as between institutions in Blekinge, has gotten better. The project includes no less than 14 partners, art museums, academia and a shipping company. Talk about broad variety!</p>
<p dir="ltr">In retrospect it was most certainly a wise decision when Blekinge museum dared to undertake the role as lead partner in this partly EU-funded project. The county museum could, without sacrificing its local soul, play a role in a larger region &#8211; in this case, parts of Sweden, Poland, Lithuania, Russia and Germany. The return of the input efforts was good. This was also observed by the European Commission which in 2013 appointed Art Line a flagship project within the EU.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Right now we are running the finishing stretch of Art Line. On March 31 this year the project comes to an end and in early February there was an eventful Final Conference in Gdansk. Documentation was offered in the form of a comprehensive catalogue, video and vivid artwork created within Art Lines frameworks. The catalog contains 260 pages with flashbacks of everything that happened in the past three years and is supplemented with an online catalog of films, lectures and more texts.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Although the Art Line project ends, Blekinge museum continues to have contacts with the other countries, not in the least Poland. In connection with the closing conference, the museum manager Marcus Sandekjer signed a document on cooperation between Blekinge museum and the National Museum in Gdansk. And there is a strong will in Blekinge to continue in the next programming period of the EU.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3398" title="konferens001" src="http://artline-southbaltic.eu/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/konferens001-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" />Gdansk, Poland. The Art Line Final Conference February, 4, 2014, was attended by more than 80 invited guests, representatives of the five countries and 14 culture institutions participating in the project. There were also people coming from other countries around the Baltic, as this was a great opportunity for networking and discussing future cooperation.</p>
<p>The Final Conference was opened by the director of the hosting Laznia CCA, Jadwiga Charzyńska, who warmly welcomed all the guests. After this, Anna Czekanowicz director of the Director of Office for Culture in Gdansk praised the Art Line project, saying “this is not the end, since the experiences you have gained will enable you to face new challenges”. She also foresaw future involvement from the City of Gdansk.</p>
<p>The author and Director of Culture at the Marshall of Pomeranian Region Office Władysław Zawistowski represented the Pomeranian district. He drew parallels between the Art Line project and the art projects initiated after the cold war and expressed great joy that such a cross border cooperation has been possible. He expressed hopes for continued contact and cooperation and inspiration. “My wish is that Art Line is a line that connects us”, he said.</p>
<p>Anna Ceynowa from the Polish Ministry of Culture expressed her joy to be able to be present at the Final Conference and stressed the fact that Art Line is not just any project, but a Flagship in the EU. She also reminded the audience that her ministry, along with the authorities in German district Schleswig-Holstein last year succeeded in their efforts to make culture a priority area in the Baltic Sea Strategy.</p>
<p>Communication and information manager Vassilen Iotzov respresented the South Baltic Cross-Border Co-operation Programme. He underlined the value of all the experience gathered during the Art Line years and the good cooperation. Art Line, he said, can serve as a model for other projects. It has made a long lasting impression on the Joint Technical Secretariat. He regarded Art Line as a treasure chest for ideas for future cooperation. He mentioned the from their perspective very interesting part where Art Line arranged exhibitions and projects on board the Stena Line ferries and hence reached many people. He thanked the project manager Torun Ekstrand for her work and especially mentioned the catalogue which was presented this very day.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3399" title="Torun på konferensen" src="http://artline-southbaltic.eu/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Torun-på-konferensen-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Torun Ekstrand started her presentation of the Art Line project by showing a short video, made by the artist Nicola Bergström Hansen. “I want you to tell everybody about dreams for the future”, said Torun Ekstrand. She also had an example of such dreams: a ship, touring the Baltic Sea, which is an art center, interdisciplinary laboratory and an artist’s residence at the same time. She also said that the Art Line project is far from over: “there will be workshops tomorrow and different types of activities during the following weeks.” Torun Ekstrand concluded with the hope that everybody could feel that they through this project belongs not only to one, but to several countries. Her thank you to all participants in the project was followed by the longest and warmest round of applauds during the whole conference.</p>
<p>Now the Art Line catalogue was presented by the designers and artists Klaudia Wrzask and Mateusz Pek. The online version drew a lot of attention. Klaudia Wrzask commented that the project is graphically presented and that several hundreds of artists and other participants are there, and that more will be added soon since there are many more lecturers, theorists and people in this large project. Klaudia Wresk also told how impressed she was after having made the acquaintance of Art Line and its cooperation for example with science. She also spoke warmly about the fact that Art Line has been very open and friendly to “ordinary people”, and strongly hoped that the idea will live on.</p>
<p>The program continued with a presentation of the artwork Baltic Agora, where you as a website visitor becomes a builder of an Online Baltic Agora. The artwork is made from a topographic map of the Baltic Sea in reverse, where the deepest bottom of the sea is the highest peak. Documentaries from Art Line-projects were shown. The participants were invited for a walk and a bus tour to the Art Line partner institutions Gdansk City Gallery in several locations and to the new Laznia CCA in Nowy Port to see the exhibitions, among them artworks produced during Art Line. There was a performance at St Johns church with the artists Barbara Konopka and Weronika Kami who performed Pentarosa. Later in the evening the audiovisual event “Baraka” was performed. This is a combination of the film “Baraka” by R. Fricke and a mind blowing musical performance by Pawel Nowicki, vibraphone, percussion, synth; Jacek Buhl, drums: Wojciech Jachna, trumpet, electronic devices and Marcin Dymiter, electronic devices.</p>
