Audience participation has been at the heart of CORNERS, not only during the presentation, but also as a part of our co-creations. Our unique model of production and the presentation of artworks in public and unusual spaces provoked this participation at a local level and drew threads between remote places on the edges of Europe. More about participation read in fifth and final chapter of The Story of Corners!

The research & development period focused on devising and producing new collaborative artistic projects. We produced 16 CORNERS artworks which we preferred to call co-creations. CORNERS co-creations are not finished artefacts, but rather open structures or templates ready to receive input from local communities in the areas CORNERS visits.

Approaching the vast territory of Europe, especially given our interest in its outer regions and corners, required a research period – time that would allow us to discover what makes these remote places special, and the topics that connect them.

CORNERS brought many people together around the same goal: co-creating and presenting art in the corners of Europe.

Firstly, through our research and development period, and then through our production and presentation period, we met many beautiful people whose stories we wanted to share through the artworks we produced. Here are some facts and numbers illustrating the size of CORNERS.

After 7 years of Corners project, we summed up our story. Here’s the first chapter about the principles and values that were guiding us through this 7-years-long journey!
