The phenomenon of artists' platforms and artists' initiatives have
been gaining in popularity and strength over recent years, in the
Netherlands and beyond. Artists form groups and organize themselves
in order to change something in the local, regional or national
environment, or in order to create work together. "Shifting Map"
asks to what extent these artists can play a role in a society in
flux. "Shifting Map" contributes to the wide-ranging international
debate about western and non-western art, social engagement,
cultural identity and the dominant visual culture. The book does
not simply focus on a purely theoretical discussion, but also
provides anchoring points and pause for thought for artists,
curators and policy makers. Besides texts and images by the
artists' initiatives and artists' platforms themselves, the
publication includes essays by philosopher Reinaldo Laddaga and art
critic Charles Esche which examine the significance of artists'
initiatives, the artistic debate and its significance in the
worldwide field of art.
"Shifting Map" is a publication by the RAIN Artists' Initiatives
Network, a network of artists' platforms and initiatives in Africa,
Asia and Latin America that was set up by former residents at the
Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam.
