In April 2022 an online meeting with potential collaborators was hosted by new art route figurehead Michel van Dartel and an external advisor. The three sub-projects were selected after this meeting. The aim of ‘Bit by bit, or not at all’ is to demonstrate the value of ‘art as an alternative form of knowledge production’ for shaping a sustainable future in the face of the climate crisis. The central project institution is Caradt at Avans, and the coordinators of the three sub-projects are ArtEZ University of the Arts, Leiden University, and Gerrit Rietveld Academy.
Michel van Dartel, Research Professor in Caradt’s Situated Art and Design research group, is lead applicant on ‘Bit by bit, or not at all’, and also the new figurehead at the NWA’s art route.
