"SPREE is an artist-network in the first instance based on friendship and
communal interests in art. Not communal in a sense that we all work with the
same subject matter, make use of the same medium or means of representation,
but in a sense that we are interested in making our work communicate and enter
into dialogue, and progress our practices through these meetings. A dynamic
artistic practice needs to be based on a network in an artist community, and we
wish to open up our individual networks to each other, and in doing so broaden
the possibilities for new and fruitful contacts, collaborations and discussions
and we can by the joint experiences, knowledge and curriculum we possess, create
a stronger concept in order to create those possibilities for ourselves.
By creating a network that is spanning across cities and nation borders, we
challenge ourselves to explore different ways of communicating than the meeting
and personal dialogue, such as email, websites and net based dialogue and video
conferences and can invite each other to hold exhibitions, projects, workshops
and seminars in the community that we are familiar with."
