INTROThe “European Citizen Campus” (ECC) has been carried out by 10 universities and student service organisations, from six different countries that all possess a long-term expertise in the promotion of student cultural activities. It highlighted the vital role of these organisations in the development of a European identity amongst young people by fostering student art projects.

EEC started a creative process on different vision(s) of the European citizenship concept seen by student eyes with the purpose to stimulate debate on this issue with the wider audience. The project core was the establishment of an international art mobility and exchange programme that would give 144 students from different academic disciplines and 12 professional artists the opportunity to visualize their approach to European citizenship.

The creative work has been carried out in trans-disciplinary laboratories that were set up at university sites in Belgium, France, Germany Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal. Each laboratory was composed of four students from each consortium country and lead by two internationally renowned artists from two different art genres. The laboratories were dedicated to thematic variations of citizenship, namely identity, roots, home, freedom, conflict and dialogue. The works of art have been presented at local/regional exhibitions in the involved countries as well as at a main European exposition that will be shown at the occasion of the final dissemination conference in Antwerp on the 25-27th of June 2015.

With the ECC project we bring in the voice of European students in the political debate on the identity of the European Union. I am sure that the creative process of art production in which students from all academic disciplines took part will enrich the often abstract political discussion on European citizenship.

| Achim Meyer auf der Heyde, Consortium Leader of the ECC Project and Secretary General of the Deutsches Studentenwerk

Art moves freely, it creates a freedom in which we find the space to think, to get inspired, to critically reflect. The artist functions as an in-between: free to view reality in every perspective. Art is a powerful tool. In this project, we’ll hand that tool to students, the future. As they will learn to understand it, they will create a new focus on the reality of citizenship.The project has a unique and innovative character as it is positioned at the interface between art, art education and the civil sector.

In total, more than 50 performed artistic works have been circulating. The creation of a Europe-wide network of student art support organizations came about as a natural effect of the joint work of project implementation. Crucial for the dissemination of project results were the European umbrella organizations “European Council for Student Affairs”, ”European Student Union” and “University Network of European Capitals of Culture” which were officially supporting the project.

IDENTITYWhether national, religious, ethnical, territorial,economical or other, identity has been the prominentelement and more than often the instigator of seriousupheavals in the world. Certain modes of identity canindeed be dangerous. Every time identity is determinedon the basis of a single form of affiliation, dangerarises, and people are led into fanaticism. There existsan unnecessary paranoid attempt of its preservationwhich has nothing to do with its constant exploration.

It is often presumed that identity is something fixedthat you get at birth and anything past that would betreated as treason. In fact, it is the actual opposite ofthat: identity is a constant state of evolution. Identityis not a static essence or reality. It is a substance, adynamic reality and therefore constitutes a repertoire.Since it is not a homogenous, continuous, univocalelement, it can only exist in a dynamic, dialectic logic ofever-changing difference. As the philosopher CharlesTaylor once stated: “What we are can never solve theproblem of our condition, because we are alwayschanging and becoming different”.

Neither consolidating (in terms of only one group/nationality), nor dropping your identity (in exchangefor more consumption) seems a healthy affair. Identityis a constant quest. Every identity implies a dialogue,or: giving up who one is. Confrontation makes identitypossible. Identity gains recognition in the public spacethrough forms of cultural mediation and (artistic)expression.

This is how we approached and structuredthis workshop. This is how we understood ourengagement towards the other and Europe.

Laboratory 1 ‘Identity’ examines the own unique cultural identity, shares this and through dialogue questions, under-stands what one can learn about it and from each other.

The artistic fields of music and dance have been used to express the idea of dialogue.Music and dance have always been closely related witheach other and been in a constant dialogue.

The pianist Cathy Krier and the dancer and choreographer Gianfranco Celestino, leaders of the workshop, were confronted with the different levels of dialogues they liked to approach and express with the students of the participating European universities, discovering & exploring the multiple faces of their personality. Their aim was to explore the relationship between music and dance, composer and performer, performer and audience.

The music of European composers from different periods served as a starting point. Students experienced the musical interpretation of these masterpieces, the development of the choreographic response to the selected music and the effect that the choices made exercise on the public.

European Citizens are not fairy tale figures. In fact, the sooner we realize that our European commitments help our personality to get rid of its limitations or to move to a higher level of intel-lectual and cultural dialogue with other European Citizens, the better for ourselves. I strongly believe that cultural diversity and diversified cul-tural expressions are among the most wonderful and precious treasures of mankind built up in the ‘Curriculum Vitae’ of human development and that cultural diversity creates visionary identities, which distinguish one nation or ethnic group from another and makes our world and each individual human being so unique.

DANCE music

22 | LABOluxEmbourg

Working with Cathy Krier and in my case, since I was in the dance group, especially with Gianfranco Celes-tino, was a very enriching learning experience.Although we all had different cultural backgrounds and although not everybody had the same fluency in English, dancing, playing music and generally being involved in a mutual creative process immediately established an intimate connection and understand-ing among all the workshop participants. Without even intentionally trying to do so, we engaged in a transcultural dialogue through music and move-ment. In today’s highly rationalised society, we tend to underestimate the powerful subconscious knowledge of our bodies and are unaware of its potential in enabling eye to eye conversation and cross-border partnerships.

For me as one of the non-arts students, the ECC-project was an impressive experiment. I met open-minded artists and learnt beside motivated, as well as determined people that we all shared the same passion for. All of us had his/her part in the collaboration and within only one week, the dialogue between music and dance evolved into an intricately intertwined performance: differ-ent characters flourished together under mutual efforts.Thanks a lot for letting me participate in this beautiful and refreshing project!

My experience on this programme and the work-shop was amazing! I got the chance to meet wonder-ful people from different countries, and therefore different cultures. and i really think that its very important for us to connect, learn and share with diferrent mindsets and ideals. the workshop was amazing, since i learn to feel my own body and the art of dance in a completly different way!

The artistic fields of painting and cross-over have beenused to express the idea of ‘Home’.

But what is ‘home’? Is it the place where one is born?Is it the place where one lives? Or is it an imaginarykingdom of wishes and visions?

A workshop by Michael Klant explored these questionsin various artistic ways. Participants have used theInstitute of Fine Arts (Institut der Bildenden Kunste)studios ranging from the painting studio to the sculpture workshop and the photography studioto the video editing room. Participants could decide ona certain technique, or use a cross-over of differentmethods and materials.

Participants had brought a little piece of‘Home’ with them such as photos, texts or objects.These items were the basis of idea development.Existing ideas of “Home” were been deconstructed, questioned and put into new context

In fact, the mix of European identities created an inspiring atmosphere and defi-nitely broadened the base of our discussions. The participation in the workshop Home offered me the chance to reflect my own thoughts and preoccupations on the topic as well as other participants’ opinions.

freedomThe theme of the workshop that took take place in Viana do Castelo in July 2014 was ’Freedom’, using photography and optic media as the main visual mediums.

Indeed the word ‘freedom’ implicates a wide range ofmeanings, either, the power or right to act, speak, orthink as one wants without hindrance or restraint; theabsence of subjection to any form of domination; thepower of self-determination attributed to the will; thequality of being independent of fate or necessity, ormerely the openness of one to speech or behavior.

The workshop explored the implications of theterm and how to question and represent ‘freedom’visually through pictures or images. Participants used both photography and video equipment, mainlythe photography and video studios and editing rooms.

Participants decided on a certain technique, or useda cross-over of different methods and materials.Participants were encouraged to bring with them photographs or texts that discussed or encaged with the idea of ‘freedom’. The laboratory concept was grounded in a set of texts and images in order to propose a starting point to frame and develop the final work.

Paulo Catrica is a photographic artist whou brought a radically different approach to his medium to the archipelago. His previous photographic projects have included series on United Kingdom new towns, Portuguese high schools and suburban areas across Europe - places of deep human purpose and practical aspiration. The works are always unpopulated, avoiding the anecdotal and illustrative epiction of daily life; they capture instead a tranquil essence of the character of places full of potential, waiting for something to happen.

Mario Rocha’s artwork is characterized as being unpredictable and it takes him to explore and present several works where we can identify multiple and contradictable perspectives. He is the mentor of the initiative “Arte na Leira”, a famous art event that takes place in the small village Arga de Baixo in the hills of Serra de Arga, on the Minho region, in the North of Portugal. His work is represented in many private and public collections and was exhibited in several countries such as Spain, Luxembourg, Germany and France.

ROOTSROOTSThe theme of the workshop organized in Strasbourg was ‘roots’. It took place in July, from the 7th to the 13th 2014. We chose to deal with this subject both through illustration (Raphael Urwiller and Mayumi Otero) and through hybrid techniques such as sculpture made from waste material. (Daniel Depoutot)Our artists have been able to explore every aspect of the roots of European citizenship: who are we? Where are we going to? Where are we coming from? Our aim was to apprehend all the facets of the subject through numerous and complementary techniques.

The interest of the workshop was to mix Raphael andMayumi ‘s creativity with Daniel’s inventiveness.Keeping in mind that Strasbourg is the capital of illustration, Tomi Ungerer museum joined up the project. Due to its academic and educational aspect, Strasbourg University logically also joined up.

My strongest experience in the ECC lab was to watch the Tomi Ungerer movie. He had to change his life and language several times due to war.. he has difficult roots and you can see this in his art. The movie made me understand why Strasbourg, where Tomi Ungerer was born, chose the Topic ‘roots’. It’s really beautiful. Watch it

Willkommen

Espace aux contours plus ou moins fluctuants, relativement ouvert ou fermé. Les fragments colorés accrochés au grillage peuvent se lire comme des représentations de pays sur une mappemonde, ou comme des hardes abandonnées par des migrants essayant de franchir une frontière.

Aussi fort qu’une “Glut” de feu Robert Rauschenberg (sculpture réalisée à partir de déchets par le célèbre artiste américain), ce ready-made évoque un canon digne du père Ubu.

Vous aspirez à vous défaire de vos entraves et à gouter à la liberté, veuillez toutefois présenter votre passeport et votre invitation à venir travailler dans notre espace de bien-être et de prospérité. Bienvenue en Europe!

Construite sur de fortes oppositions, une structure tubulaire transparente verte violemment associée à une surface opaque orange, cette audacieuse sculpture ,composée de surcroit par des étudiantes belges, exprime avec force l’idée de Différence mais aussi de Complémentarité. L’usage auquel elle renvoie ainsi que le bricolage qui prévaud à sa réalisation n’est pas sans évoquer, avec une ironie malicieuse, le fonctionnement et les rouages de nos institutions: “ et pourtant ça marche “

Torturation

I’m making studies of illustration so the possibility of working with 2 well known illustrators during a whole week was very important to me, in addition of the great ex-perience of meeting students from all over Europe. We discovered a lot about the city of Strasbourg , the artists, their techniques and finally about the different countries we all came from.

Comme on peut le lire sur ce disque planisphère, un réseau dense de connexions reliant les centres névralgiques entre eux permet une intense et fructueuse circulation des idées, des biens et des personnes . A l’origine des quelques défaillances momentanées du système, sur lesquelles se penche justement une commission européenne d’experts , un cablage un peu brouillon visible au verso s’expliquant sans doute par l’entouthiasme des débuts ...

L’europe aux multiples facettes, talents, peuples ... Selon les époques et les circonstances , les visages qui composent cette belle entité s’affichent moroses, grognons, plus rarement heureux et souriants

“Titi et Rominet”,” la Belle et le Bête”,”Rencontre au Sommet”, tel aurait pu aussi s’intituler cette pièce . L’Europe , avec ses rendez-vous ,ses rituels et ses “grands-messes” se prête à ces rencontres entre partenaires de différents “poids”, culture, aspirations, dans un esprit de concorde et de respect mutuel.

En plein coeur de l’Europe il arrive qu’ Eros et Thanatos s’affrontent en de tragiques combats. Mais même les machines à donner des coups peuvent se transformer en machines à diffuser des caresses, question de tempo. Make love, not war !

Si l’art se doit de magnifier la beauté du monde, il permet aussi d’exprimer ses plus

sombres angoisses et agit dans bien des cas comme une catharsis . C’est ainsi que l’on peut

voir cette image de prison individuelle , qui renvoie au supplice de la baignoire volontiers

employé par les tortionnaires de toutes obédiences ,et ce avec les motivations et les

justifications les plus variées.

CONFLICTCONFLICT

LABOITALIE | 57

[from Enciclopedia Treccani] conflict [from Latin conflictus-us “crash, clash”]. – 1. ≈ armed opposition armies battle, combat, conflict (armed). b. struggle between states: the First World War ≈ war. peace. 2. (figurativo.) the opposition of ideas, feelings, and similar conflict of interest] ≈ collision, conflict, confrontation, conflict, disagreement, discord, opposition, shock. incompatibility, irreconcilable. agreement, harmony, compatibility, compatibility.

During the CONFLICT workshop in Italy we wanted toexplore the possibility of a new definition of conflict,where “opposite interests” were brought to meet/clash, in order to produce innovative behaviours or, furthermore, social innovation.

Antonio Guiotto and Dario Lazzaretto accompanied and encouraged micro-conflicts among the participating students, in order to bring out the contradictions of living as citizens of Europe.

Lives and works in Padua

The cross-curricular work of Dario LAzzaretto starts from a well defined group of themes which involves a relational practice and approach. These themes, mainly concerned with the social, political and cultural aspects of contemporary life, are used as the conceptual bases and as critical tools for the making of the art work. Dario Lazzaretto develops its artistic operations starting from a problem solving-like method; his work could be defined a site-specific social analysis of the environment in which he finds himself working. His last production focuses in particular on sound art, which finds an apt counterpart and fulfillment with live performances, videos and instal-lations. (by Elena Squizzato)

Initially I thought that the artistic method was very similar to the scientific one, more than we imagine. I ended the week seeing this thought confirmed. During the workshop I saw as the alternation of a structured process and freedom of movement are the key ingredients for the success of a work, whatever it is.

Once they asked the participants to produce a sculpture of clay under the topic conflict. The participants put much effort into it and pho-tographs show that they created wonderful pieces. However, after the lunch break, the artists asked the participants to destroy their pieces of art. Thus the participants got into an inner conflict.
