DIALOGUES
The CORE Team conducts a series of roughly 50 interviews titled Dialogues with curators and conductors from diverse gender and age categories, spanning various educational, economic, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds and geographies.
The interviews delve into a range of topics, including diverse techniques and styles, working methodologies, research strains, condition-based productions and performances, research and practise-based affiliations, philosophies, labour-based patterns, terminologies, habits and professional approaches. The categorisation within these interviews will guide the mapping and archiving structure of the online platform as well as cultivating the Atlas Dictionary and the Atlas Cloud.
