Cork Caucus
Cork Caucus is an official ‘Cork 2005 European Capital of Culture’ project and is also generously supported by the Arts Council's Projects Award, The European Cultural Foundation, The Mondriaan Foundation, the Prins Claus Fund, The British Council, The Kingdom of the Netherlands, The I.F.A.(Institut fuer Auslandsbeziehungen e.V.)and The The Danish Arts Council's Committee for International Visual Art.
Project partners include: Fáilte Ireland, the Evening Echo, The Triskel Arts Centre, The Cork Institute of Technology and the South Presentation Convent, Cork
Cork Caucus takes the form of a major interdisciplinary, international meeting of 60-80 artists, thinkers, writers, philosophers and other creative individuals during the summer of 2005 and will investigate cultural, political and artistic issues.
The intention of Cork Caucus is to stimulate the discursive environment within the city of Cork and to provide ways in which the ambition of art to intervene in social life and political thinking can begin to be realised. This is particularly significant given the Capital of Culture status of Cork, which provides a possible focus for culture to reach beyond its traditional interest groups. It is hoped that this model will impact on future activities and the way ongoing discourse operates within the city.
