In addition to the numerous digital initiatives by museums, institutions, fairs, galleries and artists, the first large, international and non-profit online project will start tomorrow under the title ‘Artists in Quarantaine’.The museum confederation L’Internationale has invited artists Babi Badalov, Osman Bozkurt, Simnikiwe Buhlungu, Ola Hassanain, (Sanja Ivekovi), Siniša Labrovi, Rogelio López Cuenca & Elo Vega, Kate Newby, Daniela Ortiz, Zeyno Pekünlü, Maja Smrekar, Isidoro Valcárcel Medina, Guy Woueté, Akram Zaatari, and Pawe? ?ukowski to join a conversation from their present working and living spaces, conditions and places. Their reflections suggest new perspectives on public/private space, solidarity and critique that are intrinsically connected with the present time.
Artists contributions will be shared online through L’Internationale’s social media channels, @internationaleonline, and via the websites and social media channels of members of the confederation, like M HKA (@mhkamuseum) from April 21st. Over two months, artists’ proposals will be published twice a week, every Tuesday and Thursday. Once all works have been released, they will be published together in L’Internationale Online platform.
