In a series of short podcast episodes the coming two weeks, Cullberg dancer Benjamin Pohlig meets people on and behind the scenes of the collaborative project Explorations of Now.
First out are the brains behind the project, from Cullberg, the project manager Jane Hopper and from Kultivator on Öland, Mathieu Vrijman, about the ideas behind Explorations of Now, how it all started, and the beauty in having a diversity of perspectives and audiences.
Kultivator is an art collective based in Öland. The interdisciplinary activities include art projects and agriculture that meet social projects and environmental actions, as well as an international residency and exhibition program. About 80 artists have participated in the residency activities over the years, together with about 30 cows, chickens, ducks, sheep and horses. The art collective is led by Mathieu and Malin Vrijman, who in 2017 were awarded the Dynamo by the Visual Arts Fund/Bildkonstnärsfonden.Explorations of Now is a collaborative project between Cullberg, Kultivator and The Institute for Future Studies, funded by The Postcode Foundation.
