For the first Giant Step phase, the circle of “nomadic symposia”, Giant Step was organised directly at institutions involved in the project: Van Abbemuseum, MOSTYN | Wales, vessel and Galeria Labirynt. It finished in November.

This experience allowed us to explore different issues related to these specific geographical areas but also to link each institution to the other and to discover and share strategies that can respond to similar urgencies, while also adapting them to context specificity.

Giant Step is now starting its second phase, which consists of continuing the research on other institutions to give the project a stronger basis, but also to enrich its outcome by promoting the circulation of alternative and emerging solutions.

We are looking for researchers who would like to join the project and investigate the specific conditions of an institution they are interested in exploring. The received dossiers will be first published on Giant Step website and then included in the Giant Step Dossier, a final publication which will feature all the international institutional profiles and the combining results.

The dossiers should focus on institutions that you feel have critical, innovative programming and a strong focus on the local public, or that are particularly interesting in the current understanding of what an institution should be to respond to the needs of the area in which it operates.

If you are interested in participating, please contact us at selezionivessel@gmail.com
