4BID : DEVELOPING TEMPORARY CULTURES

2013-today

4bid is a non-profit space, a project and a platform with a special attention to the bridge between Performative and Visual Art.

WE THINK THAT ART AND CULTURE, WHEN APPROACHED CRITICALLY, HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON SOCIETY. WE STRIVE TO BRING CONSCIOUSNESS ABOUT CURRENT SOCIAL SITUATIONS BY SHARING AND DISTRIBUTING PERSONAL AND GENERAL KNOWLEDGE THROUGH DEVELOPMENT OF A CULTURE THAT IS DYNAMIC AND EVOLVES AS WE SPEAK: TEMPORARY.

WE LIKE TO INTERACT AND ENGAGE WITH ARTISTIC RESEARCH WITH A CRITICAL MIND-SET. BEING CRITICAL IS AN APPROACH BUT NOT ONLY. CRITICAL CULTURE FOR US IS A METAPHOR FOR A CRITICAL MOMENT ON A TIMELINE, A CRISIS BETWEEN POINTS OF VIEW, A COLLISION OF TIMES AND SPACES.

WE DEVELOP AND SUPPORT PROJECTS AND RESEARCHES WITH THE AIM OF REACHING OUT TO A MICRO / MEDIUM GEOGRAPHIC RANGE, WISHING TO CONNECT ON A PERSONAL LEVEL THROUGH DIALOGUE AND AIMING TO SENSITISE COLLABORATORS AND AUDIENCES TO NON CAPITALISTIC BODIES AND MINDS.

WE CONSIDER IT IMPORTANT TO NURTURE A MULTIDISCIPLINARY ENVIRONMENT WHERE A VARIETY OF ARTISTIC PRACTICES CAN QUESTION EACH OTHER AND THEIR RELATION TO CONTEMPORARY ART AND SOCIETY.

WE BELIEVE IN A CULTURE THAT IS NOT ELITIST AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE FREE AND ACCESSIBLE TO ALL.

For the upcoming period we will be present only virtually, proposing some of the workshops, such as Online Drawing Sessions, and will be working on making our Digital Archives publicly available.

Safety and solidarity first!
