Collective research

Eavatea
In partnership with nadine, f.eks and several artists, Jubilee developed a mapping tool for artistic practices. Titled Eavatea, the tool for developing, visualising, archiving and relating practices, it is specifically designed for sharing practices that do not present themselves easily in conventional exhibition contexts: research-based, often in situ, nomadic, collective, ephemeral, interdisciplinary or cross-disciplinary practices. It is currently a working prototype, and will be presented during a programme staring with Jubilee’s Summer School 2024, July 2024.
