Peripheral Centre (Tromsø, Norway) is a workplace & office with an invitational residency program focusing on mid-career and established artists from the field of art and new technology, photography and performance art. Our aim is to stimulate research, reflection and international exchange by involving artists from different countries. By offering a platform for national and international artists active in various disciplines, Peripheral Centre wants to facilitate collaborations, co-productions, networking and internationalisation of the artists’ practice. Building relationships and enabling the sharing of experience in the field of art & technology, whilst creating an opportunity for artists to collaborate can lead to further professionalisation and a greater visibility. Peripheral Centre wants to enhance a dialogue with the Tromsø audience by artist talks, an informal artistic presentation and a ’Peripatetic Walk’ through town meeting local cultural actors and creators (Hålogaland Teater, 70N architects, Art Academy, RadArt, Kurant, Small Projects, Kunstforeningen’ ...). Within the framework of this residency, a seminar with international guests and keynote speakers will be programmed in May 2015 to guarantee the input of knowhow by specialists, artists and researchers, to network and to share experiences.
