The horizontal organization of ENDA leads to a dilution of its program in the different realities that traverse it or that it practices. For this reason, ENDA participates in or initiates “External” projects as well as courses related to its fields of research.
ETI (Experimenting an Institutional Transformation)
Novembre 2019 – September 2021, France, Italy, Romania, Spain
This year ENDA initiated a two-year European-wide project, ETI (Experimenting an Institutional Transformation). ETI proposes to artists or non-artists to reformulate a set of art institutions. Thanks to the intervention of European citizens and artists associated with four European art institutions, ETI takes up the challenge of imagining a new institution, sensitive to the diversity of social and artistic practices, enabling new spaces for a wider cultural audience. Gathered by ENDA, Idensitat in Barcelona (Spain), Minitremu in Targu-Mures (Romania) and the Bottari Lattes Foundation in Monforte d’Alba (Italy), ETI will welcome artists who will experiment with a new kind of programming with audiences, leading to institutional reformulations. ETI will conclude with a forum in Paris . This forum will also be an opportunity to prototype a European consultation committee to support art and cultural institutions wishing to work toward the transformation of their model. The ETI project is co-financed by the European Union’s Creative Europe program. More information
