  • The brushes of Hanna
    were my first moment of inspiration in this oasis VI (1)

  • The second movement was meeting all of you. Thank you for that. (2)

  • Fresh thought.
    Ideals at work.
    Where were
    They found?

  • (The concept of dirt
    in the modernistic shrine of
    Sibelius)
    WHAT IS MISSING’
    I miss something. What?

  • THANKs
    For
    THINK
    TANK
    Experience

  • This week reiterated the need to continue to engage in a living, breathing discourse about the
    realms of art, finance, artists + community.

  • It is cool to have the opportunity to listen to everyone and experience different cultures.
    But it was a little overwhelming to me for a whole week because too many things were going
    on, and all the things were overlapping. “Culture”, “business”, “management” are all large
    topics. I would rather spend more time on 1 specific arts form and dig deeper, than touch all
    the topics on their surface.

  • Back to Back sessions discussing practical and theoretical practices made for a very mind
    expanding and useful FIRST DAY IN TURKU (Talk about first impressions) all this
    followed by a music recital made an impression of an incredibly well rounded afternoon!

  • -Hanna Varis party a success
    -„The dirty and clean „ philosophic speech not very engaging
    -The „Konserthuset program“ very interesting
    -The artmanagement too narrow and too dominant as a theme

  • The combination of theoretica, analytical and practical have all come together at a
    culmination point. That point was the concert where many of the discussions on access, points
    of entry and practical business applications circled in my head

  • I used to put on a “cap for thinking”, but now I know that what I should do is get into a blue
    bell and just listen

  • YOUR STORY EXPANDS MY WORLD

  • Now it is clear the Moomins have covered the world.
    What are the USA Homeland Security doing?

  • Moominworld:
    Hugs.Feel good factor

    And a
    Smooth witch ! …
    HELP!


  • Nomadism
    Is not an aimless wandering
    It’s a swing between
    forwards and backwards
    Its stability
    lies in this movement

  • ARCHIVE NUROPE
    For
    -connecting to
    -referring to
    -capitalizing or
    -interpreting
    -shaping alliances

  • NUROPE COMPETENCE
    …..exploring
    by negative method
    NOT ARTIST
    NOT POLITICIAN
    NOT EXPERT
    NOT SCHOLAR
    NOT..
    WHAT REMAINS?

  • NUROPE AS BECOMING
    .. .collector
    …curator
    …active artist
    …assessor of cultural value
    …organizer
    …networker

  • The importance to find a
    Neutral place between dichotomy. Or in Nurope’s example:
    Business, art and management

  • How should one communicate Nurope?

  • The journey in/to the Oasis has been full of Magic.
    However, the Oasis may not just exist on the European continent.
    There may be other causes worth a comparative analysis across the globe.

  • Think Tank – Business Model for Nurope in the Future
    Analyzing our Structure
    > The strength of Nurope
    > What can we take of our experience for the future?

  • It has been shown that stable governments nurture a solid cultural basis for society.
    Perhaps Nurope should organise an oasis beyond the traditional frontiers

  • NUROPE:
    learning
    how to establish
    a learning
    process

  • Is NUROPE going to be a lecturing academy?
    More interaction

  • Nomadic University is a good initiative, but it should create a long term network from each
    oasis.

  • Movement
    in music
    as nomads
    being moved
    All three are headed towards something
    Movement is not wandering, but
    It is exploring. It is
    The physical process of making meaning

  • The „genius“ for artists and the concept of eternity are more a severe hindrance than a help.
  • What is sustainability in the arts from today’s perspective?
  • Music is food for the soul
  • Ornamentation is [not] a crime!
    E.g.
    Must everything always be “plain”?
  • Creativity is not enough >
    There are formal criteria and sublime distinction in art producing / – production
  • Talent, action, orientation, motivation or critical thought or self-consciousness. What matters?
  • Creativity-
    The bad side of creativity?
  • SURPRISING
    APPROACHES
    TO
    DIRT

  • Floating water – civilisation
    The DIRTY-
    You put things together which don’t fit together
    The CLEAN -
    You leave things in their inner needs

  • Can culture be clean?
    Is it desirable?

  • We could be cool by just talking!
    But just talking did not mean anything.
    How about doing something
    Solid & cool?

  • Nature is pure – by definition
  • Does the tendency toward harmony kill quality?

  • Circular motions answer square questions

  • 1) Is 2) how to make
    Culture
    Interesting ??
    Compared to
    -Sports
    -Formular 1
    -Adventure Parks
    -All kinds of events

  • The difference in speed between the Northern part of Europe and the Eastern part will be a
    problem in a few years.
    No doubt if you want to feel alive, the energy of living, you have to be in Eastern Europe.

  • Variety of struggles for individual expression (aesthetic or not)

  • I would like to discuss more about „post colonial”

    or private philantrophy (US)

  • ToleranceDiversity

  • “We know our audience and we know what will work and what will not work”
    Tisa Ho, Executive Director, Hong Kong Arts Festival

  • How do we develop new audiences + artists from the next generations?
    They are the future and the custodians of the past.

  • Curator
    +
    Post Doc
    +
    “Dissident professors”

  • Entertainment:
    You always choose the way of least resistance
    (Law of thermodynamics)

  • Internet generation-
    Stop being afraid of the differences
    They will manage the future with solutions we can not imagine.

  • Question from the floor:
    Can you afford to be
    famous without money?

  • We have to give them a place, even if their permanent movement is making some older
    seasick.

  • Think alike – but different

  • To get new contacts – meet new people !

  • Necessity of practice + routines for development > quality

  • What do you think happens next?
    (Vad tror du att det hände se’n?)
    (Copyright)
    Chose your name
    And enjoy the battle

  • Everything is free which is not forbidden > Everything is forbidden which is not free
    Syllogism

  • Concert halls and symphony orchestras are just one specific form of classical music.
    You need help in order to learn to appreciate it.

  • In a world which needs no music, there are no instruments

  • Is classical music part of the re-colonisation of people?

  • Bad music is painful
  • Is it possible to „live“ your dreams.

  • I liked the BUFFALONIANS a lot
    >Good Input
    >Good Energy
    >Excellent director
    We should continue with them

  • Suggestions — like
    Soap bubbles
    Some can stimulate

    Inspire new ideas
    New actions
    New visions
    Most of them disappear
    Indifferently in the sky

  • “My minimalist woman says the sound (from the installation) will get on her nerves.”
    Jan- Erik Andersson

  • “new friends” introductions
    and
    “smuts” discussion, because it
    temporarily rewired our brains

  • Keith Wikjander
    „We are in a situation where we lack goals“

  • How come cultural policy terms are so homogenic when/and content is supposed to be very
    diverse? Does the tension create Schwung? Or the opposite?
    Policy < Art > Artists
    (Form) (Matter)

  • In Finnland we believe that if you live in a box. You should also see [ look at ] a box

  • What would you do with 70 Million EUROS??

  • Are the arts a universal need/right like health insurance or education or is it a luxury?
  • What can professional management of art products be?

  • When artists meet they talk about debt and money woes. When bankers meet, they talk about
    art

  • Can classical performing art with its institutions be a role model for entrepreneurship?
