Panel discussion "Radical Organisation" at Palais de Tokyo, 2012.
Making radical space is about developing spaces that denaturalize the norms of the dominant culture and provide for new ways to build community, social relations, and the production of art.

Driven by the observation of French and Norwegian contexts, this panel proposes to expand to other horizons its survey about alternative structures of art, born of the hybridization of different models: production units attached to or detached from the institution, «curatorial offices» or curators collectives, editions agencies, mobile residencies, spontaneous archives, etc. Flexible and responsive, these organizations foster collaboration and interdisciplinarity. Accustomed to economic adjustment, they make good use of emergency. How do these platforms work, whose sustainability relies on “exibility, pragmatism and often precariousness? How are they initiated and what do they think about production ?

Dealing with identity/ cultural and national/transnational/global issues, Pikene regards the whole Barents region as its «Space» and as a metaphor to investigate the world around. What is Pikene på Broen’s opinion about instrumentalisation in an area with many strong political and economic interests at play?
