The LCCA Summer School What Do Contemporary Images Tell? is taking place in a newly established artists’ residence at Ruckas Manor, Cēsis (Latvia) from 7 June until 12 June, and young and emerging artists, art critics, curators and managers from the Baltic States are taking part in it. The curator of the LCCA Summer School’s programme is art scholar Ieva Astahovska.
The central subject for the Summer School is the narrative forms in art and (con)textuality, the mutual relations between the narration and its structures, and how these refer to the latest processes and currents within contemporary art. Narrative forms will be inquired from various viewpoints: those of the artist, curator, producer and critic. Participants will study them during an intensive programme of theoretical and practical activities consisting of lectures, seminars, workshops, discussions, as well as the development of creative projects. Part of the Summer School programme – lectures and presentations – are open to the general public.
The LCCA Summer School is supported by the State Culture Capital Foundation, Culture Programme of the European Union and foundation ProHelvetia. Media partners: arterritory.com; echogonewrong.com; Nida Art Colony; National Art Gallery in Vilnius; Rupert, a Centre for Art and Education; KUMU
