During the London Design Biennale, the Nieuwe Instituut, in collaboration with Creative Industries Fund NL, is bringing together an (inter)national working group to research issues arising from this edition’s theme, The Global Game: Remapping Collaborations, and to develop tools and propose new ways of working for future international events.
In public work sessions and gatherings, both in London and Rotterdam, the Remapping Collaborations Working Group will reflect on questions raised by past and current biennial models. What does (international) collaboration within a biennial event entail, and what are the interpersonal, institutional and bureaucratic dynamics that enable or hinder international collaboration?
