Open is a new multi-disciplinary platform for research, experimentation and civic engagement at Kunsten.
Open embraces artistic forms of interrogating the world, it articulates questions and initiates collaborations with various actors and inhabitants in Aalborg and beyond. The format of Open is process-driven, it interweaves artistic research, conversations, lectures, performances, screenings and workshops. This initiative thus sets out to learn more about how process-driven, collective knowledge production can become an integral part of museum practice. It seeks to position the museum as an active agent in connecting to contemporary life in Aalborg. Open is part of a three-year postdoctoral research project funded by New Carlsberg Foundation.
