Moving beyond inherited models, it asks how residency formats, development programs and institutional responsibilities might be rethought in ways that are equitable, sustainable, and responsive to artists’ needs. Rather than offering fixed answers, the conversation opens a space for collective speculation: what should we preserve, abandon, or invent? It examines the tension between artistic ambition and institutional precarity, asking how support structures can evolve without reproducing exhaustion, extraction, or inequality.

Meet the guests: Karen Davies Head of Artist Development at @space_studios_london @karendaviesartist Kom naar het Publiek Programma op 16 April, 19u in Salon Arents, Dijver 16, 8000 Brugge Programma 19u00 ont­vangst 19u30 korte interviews met de gas­ten 20u30 start informele gesprekken 21u30 einde Schrijf je in via link in bio Het evenement is gratis. How does Karen sees her relationship with artists? My role is one of gentle yet powerful support. I value growing communities of artists and being protective of the environments in which we live and work. I live within an artist community as well as spending time every day in artist studios through my work at SPACE. Much of my relationship with artists is to talk about challenges, to help find ways of working and to be part of platforms for advocacy and to make sure we have the scaffolding in place that we need for our practice.

What is @extrapoolnl Extrapool is a non-hierarchical collective and art space focused on sound, art, and print. We have a riso workshop called Knust, a sound studio, our own guest house and living spaces. Since the '80s, we’ve been exploring how a space can be an alternative hub where making, living, working, and presenting all blend together. Extrapool and Knust consist of eight people, each with our own focus but a shared responsibility for both the practical and the artistic aspects of the practice. Find more about Anna, Daphne, Knust and Extrapool on the website. UFO International Visitors' Programme #7 ism @atelierwerkingdetank @hetentrepot @museabrugge met de steun van de Vlaamse Overheid

Meet the guests: Signe Johannessen artist and artistic director at Art Lab Gnesta, soon to be @epoken.se Kom naar het Publiek Programma op 16 April, 19u in Salon Arents, Dijver 16, 8000 Brugge Programma 19u00 ont­vangst 19u30 korte interviews met de gas­ten 20u30 start informele gesprekken 21u30 einde Schrijf je in via link in bio Het evenement is gratis. Who is Signe Johannessen @signebestiarium I am currently developing Rewildocene- a long-term artistic research project that explores a speculative new epoch beyond the Anthropocene. The Rewildocene is not something I represent, but something I inhabit and stage through artistic practice- through my individual work, my duo operating in public space, and my role as head of a self-organised, art(ist)-run institution. It proposes a time where human dominance is no longer the organising principle, and where wildness, or wild inclusion, inner and outer- emerges as an active force shaping perception, responsibility, and collective life. This work unfolds across my individual artistic practice, my collaborations in public space, and through my role as artistic lead of Art Lab Gnesta, which is currently transforming into Epoken in response to this. We are relocating into a vast former pesticide factory, placing both body and institution inside a toxic and disturbed landscape. This is not context, but method. Across exhibitions, public art, and collective research and world-making formats, I work with wildness as a method, embodied, performative, and unpredictable. I construct situations where encounters between inner feral states and environments beyond repair can reconfigure how we sense, act, and relate beyond the human. Find more about Signe on the website.

Meet the guests: Yin Yin Wong artist and curator @roodkapje_rotterdam Kom naar het Publiek Programma op 16 April, 19u in Salon Arents, Dijver 16, 8000 Brugge Programma 19u00 ont­vangst 19u30 korte interviews met de gas­ten 20u30 start informele gesprekken 21u30 einde Schrijf je in via link in bio Het evenement is gratis. Who is Yin Yin Wong? I am curating and guiding a small cohort of residents under the Hamburger Community program at Roodkapje. Within the same context I am developing a public program around Roodkapjes ‘anarchive’, a subjective and subversive laboratory for creating records of ‘Happenings’, produced by the residents. As a solo practitioner, I am currently working on a drawing and sculptural practice engaged with diasporic literacy. As a teacher I am teaching collective and social practice through the lens of ‘auto-etnography’ at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague. Find more about them on the website.
