Europe DayON-AiR: Reflecting on the mobility of artists in Europe
Publication

After two year collaboration the ON-AiR partners, amongst them Artservis/SCCA-Ljubljana, present the publication ON-AiR: Reflecting on the mobility of artists in Europe.

With this publication the partners of the ON-AiR project aim to take you on a “journey”, reflecting on the current state of mobility in which the artists in Europe operate and their art flourishes. It also includes a summary of the results and outcomes of the ON-AiR project.

An Editorial Team consisting of 18 mobility experts from the different regions of Europe, all working as partners in ON-AiR, proposed 10 topics or thoughts for a more in-depth approach. Ten essays by authors from across Europe are the result. The content and format of the essays differ enormously: varying from a letter written to a resident artist, to an examination of the much-discussed ‘brain drain’ phenomenon in Eastern Europe, to drawings from a pirate rabbit reflecting on mobility.

This publication does not intend to solve problems, nor does it offer a complete overview of them. It is meant to share issues we experienced during the project with others operating in the field of artist mobility.”
