SEAS News 18 March 2008
Dear HumanDHS network friends
Please find below news from Sea.se promoting arts.
An excerpt from the website: I imagine that Art can change a City. I imagine that artists can be essential partners in urban re-invention. I imagine that city planners and cultural activists have much in common. I imagine that Public Space is an essential condition for democratic participation. And that artists, architects and environmentalists must open the way.
Kind regards
Brian Ward

Black/North SEAS is an arts adventure that reveals in story, song and image a
vision of Europe drawn from the experiences of the communities that live on
its shoreline.
16 contemporary, interdisciplinary, trans-national art works in performance,
music, visual arts and digital media have been commissioned by Intercult from
leading European companies and artists. In 2007 each creator took a “blind
date” with a fellow artist or company in a town or city on the coast of the
Black and the North Seas. After their “dates” the artists proposed a new
piece of art inspired by their time together and the place they visited.
Black/North SEAS is an ongoing investigation of how artistic initiatives
can lift urban re-invention and environmental issues to the forefront, through
the very act of concretely confronting the contemporary cityscape.
