The key objective of the Global Art Lab program is to develop, encourage, and demonstrate innovative new ways of understanding complex social dynamics and addressing common social challenges through the arts. The program facilitates the exchange of innovative art practices between artists and arts organizations in Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan) and the U.S. and helps distribute this information to larger audiences through educational programs, public presentations, and an actively maintained website.

By creating new methods for addressing social concerns and building an international network of artists and arts organizations, Global Art Lab aims to expand contemporary art discourse to individuals who may have had no previous relationship to contemporary art. The program supports artists from Central Asia and the US in cultivating dialogue within and between their rich creative communities.

Funding for the Global Art Lab has been provided by the Christensen Foundation, the Kettering Family Foundation and the Trust for Mutual Understanding.

Proposal and Idea Review

As always during these workshops - Home Work is given. The young artists had to take in the site which surrounds the Ilkom Theatre and come up with a site-specific sculpture which will be created out of the tape. Although it was not necessary to make a tape sculpture, no one wanted to be left out. As the ideas came in, they were reviewed and discussed as a group. Once it was vetted it moved into the fabrication phase. There were rules...everyone had to help each other and everyone had to cut tape.
