2 TRANS EUROPE HALLES - TEH CAMP MEETING 80 REPORT TRANS EUROPE HALLES - TEH CAMP MEETING 80 REPORT

INtroductionOur member centre Bakelit M.A.C. hosted the 80th meeting of Trans Europe Halles from the 5th to the 8th of November 2015. This was not a meeting like the previous ones. It was special because we tested a new format –the Camp Meeting– that allowed our members to be fully responsible of the content of the workshops and actively participate in developing new joint projects with their peers. Some of our members came up with ideas of projects that they wanted to develop in collaboration with other members or they generously de-cided to share their already existing projects with others in the network.

This meeting was a quite successful test that has proven the “Camp Meeting” format to be valuable for our members. And it was decided that the Camp Meetings will take place once a year, being the next one at Interzona (Verona, Italy) in October 2016. Until then, our main priority is to keep the flame of the new joint projects alive and nurture them so they are transformed into action and realization. Continue reading to find out what future projects of TEH will look like.

THE HOST CENTREbakelit multi art center, budapest, hungary

Bakelit Multi Art Center is a cultural centre established in 1999 to serve as an innovative platform for visual and performing arts. The centre is located in the industrial area of Bu-dapest, which was originally used in the early 1900’s for manufacturing war related prod-ucts. After the Second World War, the area developed into a textile spinning factory.

Bakelit M.A.C provides spaces for artistic production and exhibition, such as recording studios, rehearsals halls, performance halls and stage, exhibitions and event rooms. This international multi-disciplinary centre gives the opportunity for artists to learn, create, and perform, allowing them to develop in both personal and artistic terms so they can improve their practices.

The centre´s Receptive Theatre Tender was founded in August 2007 in order to accom-modate artists in the performing arts.

On average Bakelit M.A.C. annually hosts 120-140 theatrical performances, 50 copro-duction performances, 10-15 concerts, 5-10 fine art exhibitions, various national and international cultural festivals, and 12,000 operating hours of reheasals.

Bakelit welcomes diverse and multicultural talents willing to be inspired by the creative atmosphere of Budapest.

Together with IETM, our fellow international network, we organised –for the first time– our meetings at the same time and place. We de-cided to do so as a joint effort to draw atten-tion to the values of civil society, human rights and the importance of independent cultural creation and participation.

In total more than 600 cultural profession-als and artists from all over the world took part in this significant and urgent debate and engaged in international collaboration and exchange.

The collaboration between IETM and TEH was realised through the Seminar “Arts & Democ-racy | Focus on the Hungarian Situation” that took place during the morning of the 5th of November 5 before the official opening of TEH Camp Meeting 80.

The debate was moderated by the Central Europe Correspondant for BBC News Nick Thrope and it brought together a wide range of Hungarian policymakers from various backgrounds –excluding the invited state rep-resentative who cancelled his participation in the last minute– to discuss about the context of the arts in the country.

The speakers were: Ildiko Katalin Takacs (Creative/culture industry consultant, former-ly director of the Hungarian Cultural Centre–Hungary), Máté Gáspár (University of Theatre and Film, formerly managing director of Kré-takör) and György Szabó (managing director of Trafó, House of Contemporary Arts).

The session was broadcasted live but it was filmed and you can watch it here at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60YadeiJBGo.

opening session

TEH80 was opened with a warm welcome by Michele Bee, President of Trans Europe Halles, and Secretary General Birgitta Persson, who introduced Marton Bauer, Director of Bakelit M.A.C., Csaba Paróczay, artistic director, and Luca Kovecs, project manager and local pro-ducer of the Meeting.

Csaba and Luca presented Bakelit M.A.C., their activities and projects and then intro-duced all the staff members of the centre.

Marton Debreczni, director of Budapest-based TEH Associate organisation Artus presented its centre.

After Artus, the representatives of Candidate Member Brunnenpassage (Vienna, Austria) –to be approved during the General Assem-bly on Saturday– were introduced, and the organisations that had joined the network as Associates since the last meeting in the spring were presented: The Forest (Edinburgh,

Scotland), Hablar en Arte (Madrid, Spain), Jam Factory (Lviv, Ukraine), 7arte (Mitrovica, Kosovo) and Na Pérone (Košice, Slovakia).

The presentation of new Associates was followed by brief presentations of potential Members: Tipografia5 (Chisinau, Moldova), La Harinera (Pedro Muñoz, Spain), Art-za-vod Platforma (Kiev, Ukraine) and Kaņepes Kultūras Centrs (Riga, Latvia).

TEH Ambassador Sandy Fitzgerald, acting as Master of Ceremonies of the Work Sessions, presented the leaders of the sessions that were to be held on Friday.

To conclude, Martha Ladjánszki, vice-Presi-cent of the association L1, introduced the “interactive presentation” of Bakelit M.A.C. that took place immediately after the opening session.


work sessions

WORK SESSION 1 | How to Participate in Cultural Leadership.

a) What was it about?TEH in partnership with Nätverkstan, EN-CATC, Olivearte and Sue Kay are working on developing a leadership programme for the cultural sector. The target group are leaders of small to medium sized organisations who wish to make a difference in how arts and culture can influence and drive change within society.

b) What happened?During the one-day workshop the participants got the opportunity to get a taste of what this leadership programme can be like. Since the members of Trans Europe Halles are one of the intended target groups, the feedback and opinion on both the content, form and peda-gogic approach was highly valuable and will shape the future programme.

Some of the conclusions of the session were:

• To learn by experiencing in role play or exercises is important to be able to develop and understand leadership skills.

• The program should offer lots of op-portunities to apply things very concretely to every day-to-day leadership in organisations.

• Dialogue and diversity is vital through out the program to really enable new discoveries by learning from each other.

• The people factor is central as well as understanding the special context of the cultural sector.

c) What are the next steps?We will now bring our experiences and the feedback we got in Budapest to our next part-ner meeting in December where we will take the next step in developing the program. Until June 2016 we will continue this work through research, partners meetings (both face to face and virtual), consultation with the sector and


testing of prototypes. Our next open seminar is the Encatc seminar on cultural leadership, March 22nd, 2016, Brussels. The final version of the ECL program will be disseminated in a seminar in June 2016 in Brussels and through digital channels.

d) Who should I contact to get involved?Anyone interested in the project please get in contact with Karin Dalborg – [email protected]. More information about the project at www.europeanculturalleadership.org or TEH website.

WORK SESSION 2 | Educational Pro-grammes in TEH member centres

a) What was it about?The aim of the work session was two-fold:

1. Exchange: • Meeting educational project leaders from other centres. • Presentation of good practices. • Stimulation of collaboration between the centres.

• Organise a meeting of TEH members outside of the network meeting.

2. Creation of a steering group (4 to 5 members centres) with the task to: • Prepare next meetings. • Define topics. • Define future topics, for example. • How to fix criteria? • How to evaluate educational projects?

Before the work session, the participants were asked to fill in a short survey about their practice. The results of the survey –that was answered by 10 people–show that: • Less than 5 educational projects are held per year in the centres who replied to the survey, • The ben-eficiary group is between 6 and 26 years old, • Cultural centres work with primary and high schools, • Educational projects are mainly re-lated to visual arts & cinema, • The budget allo-cation for educational projects is quite diverse, but the majority range between 5.000€ (30%) and 50.000-100.000€ (30%).

b) What happened?


The work session –in which 16 people repre-senting 12 cultural centres from 10 countries participated– started with presentations of educational projects in TEH organisations: Les Rencontres Audiovisuelles (Lille, France), Hablarenarte (Madrid, Spain) and Carnival Beat (Belfast, Northern Ireland).

The group discussed what an educational project is, what the problems that practition-ers face are, how decision makers could be involved and informed about the benefits of these type of programmes are, etc.

The conclusions of the session are that: • Educational projects improve critical think-ing of the participants, • They provide the participants with new perspectives, • Educa-tional projects empower the participants, • Practitioners should work on the same level with the participants, • Capacity building for project managers, trainers and tutors is needed.

A new question regarding educational projects has raised: Is “educational project” the right term for this type of projects or should other terms be used instead (creative learning, informal learning…)?

c) What are the next steps?The group agreed to: • Elaborate a criteria and evaluation paper, • Exchange knowledge with centres that are not yet active in this field, • Consult interested centres (direct visits or skype sessions), • Creation of a TEH “Edu-cation Charter”, • Integrate this Education in the program of TEH81 in Vienna (workshop, conference, etc.), • Organise a meeting on this topic outside of TEH Meetings, • Create a Facebook group (for exchanging ideas, links, etc.).

d) Who should I contact to get involved?René Penning, Kulturfabrik ([email protected]), Marc Scheer, Prabbeli Wiltz ([email protected]), Céline Suel, Kulturfabrik ([email protected]), Fred Entringer, Kul-turfabrik – [email protected].

WORK SESSION 3 | MP3 Open Platform.

a) What was it about?The MP3 platform is a project that advocates the development of a centre for new media in Istria (Croatia). Apart from this, other activi-ties include procuring better conditions for the development of non-institutional culture and critical reflection upon the current condi-tions for production/residential programmes in the domain of new media (arts/technolo-gies).

b) What happened?During the work session, participants ex-changed ideas and experiences about cultural centres in Europe and their activities and finding partners in the EU for creating and de-veloping different activities in the field of new media art & culture using the MP3 platform.

c) What are the next steps?The next step in the project is to develop an open (on-line) platform that would start its activity regionally in Istria but envisions to grow international. In the work session, the project leaders discovered that there is an evident lack of such kind of networks in the international scene. Not only participants of the workshop will be invited to the platform, but also other TEH members and associates.

Metamedia is planning to develop an on-line group and data base with relevant informa-tion on participating organisations, such as their experience, needs and offering (exper-tise, skills, infrastructure, links and networks) for some future international cooperation in new media art. As it was often mentioned in the session, there is a need for capacity build-ing in the area of organisational development and in the area of audience development. Thus we came out with the idea of simple e-learning modules on those subjects.

From the ideas generated in the session, the group plans to develop future projects that we could apply to Erasmus+, on the subject of ca-pacity building, and to Creative Europe, which would address audience development and


artistic co-production in the new media art.

d) Who should I contact to get involved?Marino Jurcan ([email protected]) and Marko Kalčić ([email protected]) from Association Metamedia, Social centre Rojc.

WORK SESSION 4 | Indecision in Organis-ing Cultural Centres.

a) What was it about?With our workshop we followed up on the ideas of „third space“ and „indecision“ that were already presented during the meeting in Lecce. Our motivation was to further develop these ideas. We believe that in indecision and third space there is a potential for a changed understanding of the (daily) work in cultural centres that provides us with a productive base from which to think our work new.With the workshop we wanted, on the one hand, to create a shared understanding within the participants about the concept of indeci-sion, and on the other hand to work on a pos-sible Creative Europe funding application.

b) What happened?In the morning, after a short theoretical input, we went outside to explore the surroundings of Bakelit. Almost all participants were at-tracted by the big empty factory building right opposite of Bakelit. We all felt the curiosity and inspiration that the empty halls triggered in us. After the excursion we went back and collected and discussed our experiences and thoughts.

In summary, we learned that there is a big interest in the subject of indecision. All the participants could relate to it and it was an emotional topic for everybody. However, we also noticed that there is little to no explicit knowledge about the topic. Nobody had re-flected or worked on how to consciously use indecision in his/her daily working life. In that, we conclude, lies the big potential of a project working on and with indecision.

Key learnings during the session: 1) Indeci-

sion does not mean not deciding because of inertia or laziness. It means consciously de-ciding not to decide, to leave things open for spontaneous developments, to allow multiple things to happen; 2) Indecision requires a certain work. We have to create and maintain good conditions so indecision can actually be productive and have the best possible conse-quences; 3) Indecision is not something we should apply always and everywhere. We have to consciously evaluate and choose situations when and where to leave things in indecision; 4) Indecision has an existential aspect. Every-one is confronted with indecision in his/her daily life.

c) What are the next steps?In the afternoon we presented the idea to ap-ply for a Creative Europe funding and invited the participants to work on the idea of an ap-plication. Most participants approved the idea of working on a funding application. Together we worked on the Whys and Hows of a possi-ble long term project on indecision.

In short, we agreed that we want to be honest in our application and confirm that the project will be exploratory and open ended. Ideas for a project program included artistic interven-tions to explore indecision, analyse indecision in daily business, and do touring workshops. But in summary we want to be able to slow down and have time to ask the right ques-tions.

d) Who should I contact to get involved?Florian Ladstätter, Die Bäckerei ([email protected]) and Michele Bee, Manifature Knos ([email protected]).

WORK SESSION 5 | Incubators United.

a) What was it about?The main aim of the session was an attempt to investigate the practical needs of the centres running an incubator within their structures or considering in the near future doing so. All kind of incubators are welcome in the project, but they should have in common a function of professional development of creative entre-


preneurs, non-governmental organisations and/or individual artists, empowering them to implement their business ideas.

b) What happened?The objective of the session was getting to know each other a bit better and develop basis for future potential co-operation. It was about starting a process (not a just an “ap-plication deadline race”), that hopefully will be the source of many common projects in the future.

There were a number of ideas generated dur-ing the workshop: some of them very easy to implement, some more complicated, sophis-ticated, some involving just a bit of extra time and effort but no money at all, some of which might be expansive but totally worth it, all of them great! Just to name a few:

1. Widening the offer of individual incubators involved in the process by adding what others have to share (e.g. workspaces, specific skills).

2. Exploring the idea of time-banking –on dif-ferent levels– among incubators’ teams, those incubated, in the broad context.

3. Being the self-support system to each other –inside of the “circle” and for the “newcom-ers” (incubators to be) using different tools (from simplest ones– always having someone to call/skype/write, starting a FB group, to more complicated ones - having a dedicated on-line platform).

4. Developing common training tools that would be useful for both: those being incu-bated and those managing incubators, of different kind both off-line and on-line: a) Off-line: longer programmes, courses on specific topics, summer camping, coaching, mentoring, problems solving. b) On-line: platform ena-bling sharing and learning - coaching, manu-als, ideas, problems solving, chatting, etc.

5. Common actions based on “working by do-ing” idea: combining “flying doctors” with “the dream team” idea, specific task focus, hands

on job approach, etc.

6. Exchange programmes for short and long term stays, for both incubators’ teams and residents/members/incubated (in the form of study visits, residencies, stuff exchange etc.).

7. Huge and “really cool events” –self-organ-ised, based on– skills and ideas, starting new co-operation projects, both entertaining and bringing knowledge to all involved, our own version of Burning Man (http://burningman.org).

c) What are the next steps?Some of the ideas were interested to all par-ticipants, some of them only to a few. And ac-cording to model a future co-operation, we’ve agreed that the participants are going to pair up, team up accordingly, and share the out-comes, leaving a door open for the others.

As any other process, also this one needs peo-ple who are willing to dedicate effort and time to make it happen. There were seven brave people, who will dedicate one hour of their working week to further develop different ideas. We’re also going to explore all possible existing tools (among others, those that TEH already has developed).

Apart from meeting on-line, the group also feels a need to meet face to face. And that is something that needs financial resources. It is obvious that some of the ideas generated also need financial injection. The group is going to explore all existing options for getting neces-sary resources. But the project will start with an inventory of everything we have to share: spaces, skills, all other “belongings”…

d) Who should I contact to get involved?If you’ve missed the Budapest workshop but you’re interested in what we’re about to do/ you’re managing a creative incubator and you feel that there’s something your art centre might be interested in, contact Agata Etmano-wicz, Art_Inkuabtor//Fabryka Sztuki in Łódź, Poland at [email protected].


WORK SESSION 6 | European Values Revis-ited.

a) What was it about?The general impression after the work ses-sion was quite positive and encouraging for the further engagement. The overall goal of the session - to open such topics for debate and exchange, was fulfilled; moreover, it was diagnosed as an inherent problem for any network, collective, group self-understood as “European”…

b) What happened?The session started with the introduction of participants and a short explanation about the capacities and ambition of the partici-pants’ organisations to deal with the topic defined as „European values“ in their work and production. A short overview of the sociological research conducted on the topic of European values was an inspirational introduction to the debate: http://www.atlasofeuropeanvalues.eu/new/europa.php?ids=212&year=2008.

The topic was analysed from different per-spectives and stand-points from the very be-ginning of the session, but the discussion be-came most interesting and fruitful after each participant defined and shortly explained one of the most striking contradictions or paradoxes related to the actual meaning and understanding of some European values or values perceived as European (universal to Europe).

Some of the discussed aspects were illustrat-ed by art works (for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1kagFMbQ5k, related to national identity issues, or http://minna-henriksson.com/works/2008-ljubljana-notes, related to the problems of the distribution of power for research and representation). Many other examples of related artistic and cultural production as well as theoretical works were mentioned and informally discussed.

c) What are the next steps?The idea about the possible collaborative project was in the air during the session, but


was not actually debated. Nonetheless, the capacity and contingency (if not the very mission) of the TEH network for instigating and facilitating such debate or outlining and encouraging such a production-related focus seemed obvious to many participants.

d) Who should I contact to get involved?Nebojsa Milikic, Cultural center Rex ([email protected]).

WORK SESSION 7 | TEH Academy: Online Learning Platform.

a) What was it about?One of the most interesting areas to be ex-plored within the TEH Academy is online learning, as a very cost-effective way to provide training for cultural profession-als all over Europe and the world. The Latin American Foundation for the Creative and Cultural Industries (FIBICC) –which is cur-rently a TEH member applicant– is running several successful online training and master programmes for the cultural sector and repre-sentatives of the organisation were invited to present their experience during the Meeting.

b) What happened?The session started with a presentation of Jesús Ruiz (FIBICC) about his organisation’s experience in online learning and building an online platform. After Jesús’ presentation and the Q&A, the group was invited to brainstorm about “How can we set up an online learning platform that benefits the TEH and the inde-pendent cultural sector?” The participants started to share their ideas but at a certain point, the group decided to change the ap-proach to the issue: instead of mapping the needs of our members, we turned the ques-tion around and asked ourselves “what do you know that you can share already now?” The participants brainstormed then about their knowledges and expertise they could share with others.

c) What are the next steps?We decided to do a test: start the online plat-form and create a few online courses as soon

as possible so we can test them within the membership of TEH. The participants came up with ideas of courses that they could easily put together. Some ideas for online courses are on topics such as light design, volunteers management for cultural organisations, inter-national project management, non-hierarchi-cal structures in cultural organisations, write funding applications, social media communi-cations, etc.

The first of these ideas to become a real course is the one proposed by Raine Heikkin-en on sales for cultural organisations “How to increase your sales with 150% in 10 weeks”. The material for the course should be ready by 15th of February 2016 so it is launched in March.

d) Who should I contact to get involved?José Luis Rodríguez, Trans Europe Halles ([email protected]). Birgitta Persson, Trans Eu-rope Halles ([email protected]). Raine Heik-kinen, Kaapelitehdas ([email protected]).

WORK SESSION 8 | TEH Consulting.

a) What was it about?In this working session, participants were informed about the development of TEH Consulting. The results of the call for TEH Consultants, the new TEH Consulting section in TEH website and several current oppor-tunities was briefly presented. Participants were involved in sharing and systematising the knowledge they have from the start-up stages of cultural centres, their management and development as well as identifying poten-tial clients for TEH Consulting services and designing specific value propositions for each service.

b) What happened?The objectives of the session were to pro-vide the participants with information and plans about the Academy & Consulting and to involve them in the future development of the consultancy services that TEH has de-veloped. The group brainstormed about the


uniqueness of the experience of the network around the topics of arts, factories and spaces-communities. We know that there is obviously a demand for that knowledge and experience but it is not so sure whether there is someone actually prepared to pay for consultancy serv-ices in those areas.

The group also discussed the reasons why TEH should do consultancy and participants agreed that the unique knowledge in the net-work could benefit both members and outside organisations and that by marketing our skills and experience, we advocate for the impor-tance of citizen initiated centres and their importance in society.

Several groups of potential clients were iden-tified, but the three most important remain cultural organisations, public administration and property developers. The participants split into three groups that worked on defin-ing the needs of the three target groups and the ways that TEH could help.

c) What are the next steps?A group of people from TEH will meet in Lund in January 2016 to continue developing the concept, portfolio and processes of the TEH Consultancy, while the Coordination Office continues looking for potential clients.

d) Who should I contact to get involved?José Luis Rodríguez, Trans Europe Halles, ([email protected]). Birgitta Persson, Trans Eu-rope Halles ([email protected]).


general assembly

The meeting was opened by Auro Foxcroft, former President of TEH, who explained how the Executive Committee elected the new President during TEH Meeting 79 and intro-duced Michele Bee as the new President of the network.

Candidate Member Brunnenpassage (Vi-enna, Austria) was presented to the delegates and approved as a new TEH Member. More information about the centre is available in the next page.

Secretary General Birgitta Persson presented the work of the Coordination Office since the last TEH Meeting as well as its future plans. Birgitta informed about the Protocol for the Executive Committee functions that has been written, and updated the delegates about the projects that the Coordination Office is cur-rently involved in: Creative Lenses, Europe Grand Central, European Regional Resource and European Cultural Leader.

Treasurer Gerard Lohuis informed the mem-bers that the organisation is on track with the budget for 2015 and he also presented the budget for 2016, that was approved.

Regarding the proposal on a revised mem-bership fee system that was first presented during TEH Meeting 79 in Lecce, the delegates agreed that it would be better to continue the discussion so the new system can be further developed and refined in the next months. It was, however, agreed that the principle of increasing the number of fee categories in order to make the system more fair and that the Associates fees should be increased from €175 to 200€ in 2016.

Representatives from WUK (Vienna, Austria) presented the concept for the next TEH Meet-ing in Vienna, 5 to 8 May 2016. They suggest-ed to have the General Assembly during the first day of the meeting instead of the last and the delegates agreed to this proposal.


Brunnenpassage was founded in 2007 and it defines itself as a lab and space for practicing transcultural and participatory art. It offers a program of contemporary art in a number of art forms, such as dance, music and theatre. All events are free to the public.

Each year more than 400 events take place in the venue, which is situated in the heart of a functioning street market. The activities are characterized by their participation, inviting the local population.

The priority of their projects is to maintain very high artistic standards as an optimal

BrunnenpassageVienna, Austria

way of creating a dialogue between popula-tion groups which have otherwise little or no relationship to each other. Brunnenpassage provides tangible proof of the fact that cul-tural diversity translates into a lasting enrich-ment of Vienna’s society.

Brunnenpassage also co-operates with large cultural institutions in the city like the Konzerthaus Wien, Volkstheater, or the Welt-museum. The artistic quality and the political goals are combined to create new collective spaces for a heterogenic audience, offering authentic and self-defined co-operation and participation beyond usual definitions and possibilities.

NEW TEH MEMBER CENTRE


artistic programmeBakelit M.A.C. curated an excellent artistic programme for TEH Camp Meeting 80, includ-ing several theatre performances, concerts and an exhibition produced in collaboration with other TEH Members.

The exhibition “VIP 100. Visegrad In Post-ers” was opened the day before the Meeting started. It comprises of 80 posters produced throughout the last 100 years in the four Visegrad countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) plus 20 additional new artworks created by contemporary graphic artists. The exchibition was produced in col-laboration with Johan Centrum (CZ), Tabacka Kulturfabrik (SK) and Bakelit M.A.C. (HU).

The Hungarian L1 Independent Artists As-sociation was in charge of the “interactive presentation” of host centre Bakelit M.A.C. The associated artists of L1 conceived a number of

performances that allowed participants to be guided through Bakelit’s premises.

The Hungarian theatre companies Cie Krisz-tián Gergye and MU Terminal presented two performances: “Auction” and “Schweinland” respectively.

In addition to the theatre performances, two con-certs took place during this TEH Meeting. The first one, of the Hungarian band Song-ora Group, was organized in collaboration with TEH Mem-ber A38 (Budapest, HU). The second show was a tribute to Pink Floyd by the Hungarian cover band Keep Floyding.

As an parallel activity for those persons not attending the General Asembly on Saturday, Bakelit put togehter a dance lesson led by Zsolt Szederkényi “Papi”.

“Auction” by Cie Krisztián Gergye
