Maison de la création

This year the SFR Création at the Université Grenoble Alpes is launching its first biannual Arts in the Alps Doctoral Spring School from June 12th-16th 2017. The Arts in the Alps Spring School is bringing together a community of leading researchers, artists and PhD candidates from the fields of architecture, philosophy, dance, geography, fine arts, performance, sound art and linguistics to explore, collaborate and experiment new practices of interdisciplinary and practice based site specific research entitled:
 
During the week participants will have the opportunity to experiment, discuss and share interartistic and interdisciplinary practices of site specific research. Specifically centered on the question of the memory of a place, this research intensive week aims at investigating the site of the Bouchayer-Viallet which has many historical layers: industrial, eco-cultural and artistic. This site held a strategic position in the hydroelectric sector in the early 1900s and is now reconverted as a development zone by the city of Grenoble. A nearly 3000m² steel and glass factory building is now the home of Magasin les Horizons, a Center for Arts and Cultures which is where our school will be based.

Throughout the five-day intensive doctoral school, participants will have the opportunity to attend a series of workshops, seminars and events facilitated by an international group of researchers and artists. The mornings will be dedicated to collective activities workshops, readings and seminars while the afternoon sessions will focus on practice based art and research platforms with smaller groups. Participants will be encouraged to experiment with sensory based research practices and to re-enact the collective and individual gestures which wove and continue to weave the multi-faceted identities of this historical site.
