<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Different groups shape their collective identities through shaping specific communication principles. Unlike totalitarian societies - what used to be the former Socialist societies in Eastern Europe - democratic societies straightforwardly worship all types of public, spontaneous speech. Interviews, round table discussions, public debates, researching examples through interviewing the involved ones - these are all dominant media forms in contemporary communication environment through which social life is regulated in its entirety. Following 1989 and the change of social system, Eastern European societies have also fundamentally changed their communication habits. In democratic capitalism, we are prone to trust more words that "come from the heart", that are spontaneously constructed in front of us, rather than the thoroughly thought, authoritarian or authoritative words. Interview is one of the most dominant communication tools in contemporary capitalist society. </FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Within the frame of the workshop <B>Interview as a Tool for Conceptualisation</B>, we shall confine the medium of interview to the field of modern and contemporary art. We shall strive to reflect upon interview as a tool for conceptualising (creative contemplation, preparations, planning) different professional practices linked to activities in the field of contemporary and modern art. We may use the interview (both in audio or video form) in research phase as well as in the preparation and execution of an artistic project, but also in conceiving exhibitions, dissertations, critiques or other similar activities.</FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>The workshop will consist of a brief introductory lecture and talk on proposed subjects-interviews (first day, morning); strategies and tactics of articulating questions (first day, afternoon); interviewing (second day); reviewing and critical debate on results (third day). There is a two-day break between the second day of the workshop (interviewing) and the third day (reviewing and critical debate on results). During this time, the participants work on transcribing interviews from audio or video into written form, editing the interviews into a publishable form. The length of the interview should be no less than eight and no more than twelve pages. </FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Prior to the workshop, the participants should prepare a suggestion for the interview (with the person whom they are interested in personally or professionally) and at least 10 questions they will focus on. The prepared suggestions, that the participants are supposed to report to the tutor prior to the workshop, will also be a guarantee that they are ready to carry out the interviews in the agreed time and are a prerequisite for participation. Interviews should be carried out by Friday, January 18th. We can assist you with contacts of interviewees. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>The organisers will make sure that most successfull interview carried out within the frame of the workshop will be published in Likovne besede (Art Words) magazine.</FONT></SPAN></P>
