4BID : DEVELOPING TEMPORARY CULTURES
2013-today
4bid is a non-profit space, a project and a platform with a special attention to the encounter between visual and performance arts.
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 ACCESSIBLE TO ALL.
