a.pass invited the BARN Core Team to organise a conversation around breakfast. We´re happy to welcome you to join! Besides food and fun, we foresee 2 focal points for thought and talk: 

What does ´artist-run´ mean to us? 
How we can possibly define it? What are its logics, its defining traits, how is it different from instutional contexts? What kind of limiting is relevant? For instance, who and which kind of initiatives can make a profile on the website and who cannot? Where can a productive line be drawn between artist-run and institutional, that makes sense for the Brussels Artist-Run Network and its ecosystems? What kind of events can be uploaded to the shared calendar? 

Artist-run artistic research
What artistic research is done by and within artist-run initiatives in Brussels? What ecosystems of research exist and what roles do artist-run initiatives play there? This is also an occassion to reflect on the situation that a.pass has invited 5 different artist-run initiatives to host breakfast conversations at the same time, who are likely having conversations that would be quite relevant for each of them. Let´s come together at another moment? 

Practical
Participation is free upon registration, so we can foresee enough food, juice, tea and coffee. a.pass´ registration forms are closed but we accept more participants. Please send us a message to contact@brusselsartistrun.net on Wednesday 6 May at noon, latest.

Food
Let´s have breakfast together! Gluten free and vegan people won´t be disappointed. Bringing some food to the table adds to the fun....Long live the lumbung! 

Location
a.pass´ space at Bodeek, Rue de Birminghamstraat 30, 1080 Molenbeek
