Welcome
Dear participant of the 10th ELIA Biennial Conference,
Welcome to the warm, dynamic and charming City of Gothenburg! What makes this, the
10th ELIA Biennial Conference, special compared to previous conferences? It is the first ELIA
Conference without a specific title, instead we have chosen to adopt a strong emblematic and
provocative image: the ‘stuffed polar bear’. The image signifies the threats, challenges and
options we are all facing in the way we conduct our lives in the future. It is a powerful symbol
for raising the awareness of climate change in particular and can also be seen as a metaphor for
the challenges facing in higher arts education.
In the past 18 years ELIA and the educational and cultural sectors have changed radically and
in this conference we are looking significantly towards our futures as well as reflecting on our
past and to find new directions and opportunities for higher arts education. The conference
programme reflects some of the current thinking of our members with an emphasis on
developments and the role of research. For instance, how does research provide additional value
to the arts? Equally, as we are approaching the deadline of the implementation of the Bologna
Declaration, colleagues are clearly turning their attention to the post Bologna context and in
particular the nature of our post graduate provision. The conference programme reflects these
and other concerns and is intended as always to provide a platform for sharing good practice
and experiences with colleagues.
For the 10th ELIA Biennial the centre of all activities will be a multi purpose tent on the main
square of Gothenburg where the Interactive Forum, presentations and informal dialogue will
happen and where we will meet each other for a coffee or glass of wine in between conference
events and the odd late night conversation over a drink or two.
ELIA would like to thank the University of Gothenburg for hosting the conference.
We trust you will discover new knowledge, meet old friends, find new friends and entertain
some new ideas and we wish you a great time in Gothenburg.

Cher participant du 10ème Congrès biennal d’ELIA,
Bienvenue dans la charmante ville de Göteborg, chaleureuse et dynamique! Ce 10ème
Congrès biennal d’ELIA sera un peu spécial par rapport aux congrès précédents. En effet, ce
congrès n’aura pas de titre particulier. A la place, nous avons préféré choisir une image forte,
emblématique et qui force à réagir: un ours polaire empaillé. Cette image représente les menaces,
les défis et les choix auxquels nous devrons faire face dans nos actions pour l’avenir. Il s’agit d’un
symbole fort en faveur d’une prise de conscience sur la question du changement climatique en
particulier, mais qui peut également être interprété comme métaphore des défis qui attendent
l’enseignement supérieur artistique.
Au cours des 18 dernières années, ELIA et les secteurs éducatifs et culturels ont connu des
évolutions radicales. Ce congrès sera l’occasion de se tourner résolument vers le futur tout
en regardant d’où nous venons pour trouver de nouvelles directions et possibilités pour
l’enseignement supérieur artistique. Le congrès sera l’occasion de s’intéresser aux réflexions
actuelles que peuvent mener les institutions membres, avec un intérêt particulier porté sur le
développement et le rôle de la recherche. Par exemple, nous nous demanderons comment la
recherche peut enrichir l’enseignement supérieur artistique. La limite pour la mise en œuvre de
la déclaration de Bologne approche également, et les acteurs du secteur s’intéressent désormais
au contexte post-Bologne et en particulier sur les dispositions en matières de programme de
3ème cycle. Ces questions feront partie des thèmes abordés dans le programme du congrès, qui
répond également à d’autres problématiques, avec pour objectif constant de servir de plate-forme
d’échange de bonnes pratiques et d’expériences entre collègues.
Une tente polyvalente dressée sur la place principale de Göteborg sera au centre de toutes
les activités pour ce 10ème congrès biennal d’ELIA. Elle accueillera le Forum Interactif, des
présentations et les rencontres informelles autour d’un café ou d’un verre de vin, entre les
événements du congrès, ainsi que les discussions en soirée autour d’un verre ou deux.
ELIA remercie l’université de Göteborg qui accueille le congrès.
Nous sommes certains que vous pourrez y apprendre des choses, retrouver de vieilles
connaissances, lier de nouvelles relations d’amitié et élaborer des nouvelles idées. Nous vous
souhaitons de passer un agréable séjour à Göteborg.

Peter Sellars
On Thursday, 30 October, at 9h30, Peter Sellars will deliver the keynote address.
Dr (h.c.) Peter Sellars, Professor of World Arts and Cultures at UCLA, is one of the world’s
leading theatre directors, famous for his stagings of Mozart’s Da Ponte operas and of his 20th21st century repertoire. In particular, he is renowned for his collaboration with composer
John Adams in creating the politically engaged operas Nixon in China (1987), The Death of
Klinghoffer (1991), Doctor Atomic (2005), and A Flowering Tree (2006).
Sellars has been invited to the Salzburg and Glyndebourne festivals, is a regular guest at the
Holland Festival, and has been director to the Los Angeles Festival, Adelaide Festival of the
Arts, and the New Crowned Hope festival in Vienna. In both his opera settings and his work
for theatre with the Boston Shakespeare Company and the American National Theater, he has
earned acclaim as well as incited controversy by his radical updating of the classical repertoire.
He was awarded the Erasmus Prize in 1998.
Peter Sellars prononcera le discours d’ouverture le jeudi 30 octobre à 9h30.
Dr Peter Sellars, chargé de cours au département d’art et de culture mondiale à UCLA, est l’un
des plus grands metteurs en scène de théâtre dans le monde, connu pour ses mises en scène
d’opéras de Mozart et de pièces du répertoire du 20ème et du 21ème siècle. Il est connu en
particulier pour sa collaboration avec le compositeur John Adams sur les opéras politiquement
engagés Nixon in China (1987), The Death of Klinghoffer (1991), Doctor Atomic (2005) et A
Flowering Tree (2006).
Peter Sellars a été invité aux festivals de Salzbourg et de Glyndebourne et il est un habitué
du Holland Festival. Il a dirigé le Los Angeles Festival, le festival artistique d’Adelaïde et le
festival New Crowned Hope de Vienne. Que ce soit pour ses mises en scène à l’opéra ou pour
son travail au théâtre avec la Boston Shakespeare Company et l’American National Theater,
son actualisation radicale du répertoire classique lui a valu une grande reconnaissance mais a
également suscité la controverse.
Il a été lauréat du prix Erasmus en 1998.

The images on the ELIA promotion material are from the art project nanoq: flat out and bluesome
(2004-2006) the work of the collaborative artists team Snæbjörnsdóttir/Wilson. Bryndís Snæbjörnsdóttir
is a PhD student at the faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts, University of Gothenburg and this
project is one of three art projects that are the subject of her PhD research. Mark Wilson is a senior
lecturer in Fine Art at the University of Cumbria, UK. www.snaebjornsdottirwilson.com
nanoq: flat out and bluesome is a visual art project that explores meanings embedded in
taxidermic polar bears, the scope of their historical functions and what they symbolize
in the contemporary western world. The nanoq: flat out and bluesome project explores
cultural constructions of nature. Through this work, the polar bear, as a ‘hollow’ animal
body, has been examined in the context of a historical relationship between taxidermy
and photography, an oscillation between life and death and the camera’s capacity
to transform and implant ‘memory’ and construct identity. Developed through the
artists’ survey of taxidermic polar bears in the UK, nanoq raises an array of questions
and issues. It set out to unearth a series of narratives, anecdotes and fragments arising
directly from the provenances of individual bears and to connect the audience to a
new knowledge that the specimens could be seen to embody. The project also aimed
to provide insight into and a reappraisal of a rich and celebrated epoch of exploration,
learning and discovery that a ‘confrontation’ with these specimens might unlock.
Begun in 2001 the project took five years to complete and was structured around three
anticipated ‘outcomes’ and their attendant processes.
These were:
•The survey itself and the subsequent loaning of ten specimens for an installation in a contemporary
art space, Spike Island in Bristol. The installation was also the site for a one-day conference. White
Out organized by the artists and a series of over thirty related lectures and events.
•The photographing of the specimens in situ and the gathering of information relating to their
histories. This comprised any data available from the moment of the first encounter with man
in their indigenous environment to their current location in the United Kingdom as taxidermic
specimens on display (or in storage). This was followed by numerous showings of the work, that is,
the combined images-with-provenances, among them; the Oxford University Museum of Natural
History, Bristol Museums and Art Galleries, Horniman Museum in London, Askja House of
Natural Sciences at the University of Iceland, Bryggen North Atlantic House Copenhagen, Scott
Polar Research Institute, Cambridge and the Polar Fram Museum in Oslo.
•A publication, nanoq: flat out and bluesome, A Cultural Life of Polar Bears, documenting the
entire project from beginning to end. The 192-page book published by Black Dog Publishing in
London in 2006, contains all the photographs and provenances from the archive. It has extended
information on each specimen as gathered from their collectors as well as correspondence, with
essays by the artists and the project coordinator Lucy Byatt and by respected academics and critics,
Dr. Steve Baker, Dr. Garry Marvin, Michelle Henning and Patricia Ellis.
