Constellation #5: Do You Like To Meet “Them” In 22?

Introduction

EURAN, European Art Networks has built one of the very first online art, architecture and design networks of about 300 international creators presented online since the late nineties. We are now working to expand and enhance it by including creative sectors from across Europe and beyond.

The main idea of EURAN is to establish channels of communication between the creative professionals and the public.

This communication can be achieved in two ways: from distance, with the help of the information technology industry and from close, with the help of the travel industry.

The first way is technology. As explained above, we are using it to present virtually creators and their work: we started with the internet and, since more than a year, we are using blockchain.

The second one is travelling. It allows for the possibility of meeting people in person and interacting with them. This field is now the area in which we wish to create collaborations with the Cruise, Hotel and Yacht industries, inviting their customers to meet with our creative partners and see their realizations while on their journeys. 

1. Theoretical approach of the "EURAN Cruises": do you like to meet “them” and see their creations?

When you travel, how do you spend your time? What are the chances of you meeting people? There are people who prefer being alone, and there are people who don't.

When you meet people, what type of people do you most enjoy meeting?

Creative people are always interesting for everybody, but we do not necessarily focus in meeting them. We read about them in books, magazines, catalogues, seeing their photos and videos on TV, at the cinema, on social media.

Do you know how and where you might be able to meet them if you wanted to? You might see them in galleries, studios, exhibitions, professional fairs, museums, offices, showrooms, factories.

Would you be interested in such meetings? Would it not be wonderful if you met a creative professional who can make a real difference to your life?

Creators are like the open skies, they are like high mountains, like the infinite sea. They can widen your perspective, make you see the world in a new way, they are inspired and they can inspire others.

In some cases, they can even lead countries.

If you answered yes to the above, then we agree: it can be interesting useful, pleasant and eventually also a good investment, to be in contact with creative people or their work or both.

That may be something EURAN can help you with. Indeed, during this summer 2022, we start developing a network of creative individuals and businesses that can receive visitors, present their products, and sell their services worldwide. You will be able to see them while traveling.

2. Technical approach of the “EURAN Cruises”: virtual only, physical only, virtual and physical

EURAN works for the progress of the Global Creative Sector and Industry, essentially by organizing networks of communication between the creators, industrials working with them, their clients and the public. We do it by launching projects between them, as the present one.

Our plan has three parts: the “EURAN Virtual Cruises” and the “EURAN Virtual to Physical Cruises and the “EURAN Physical Cruises”.

Information transfer and commercial transactions are the main functions of these three cases. The meetings have as target to give to our international clientele knowledge about the work of partner creative individuals, institutions and companies, and give them the possibility to buy artworks, related consumer products, design objects, as well as design and architectural services.

2A. Virtual only: organizing presentations of creators and their work, communicating it to the public: this is basically a dissemination of information work to be done with the use of technology. No physical contacts should take place within this part of the project.

2B. Physical only: people meets people, the public goes to the creators and interact with them physically. Travellers visit art galleries, artists’ studios, eventually museums, architects and designers.

2C. Both physical and virtual: the combination of physical and virtual contacts gives the possibility to have meetings with creators that we visit physically if we are in place but also the possibility to meet them from distance, if we are unable to be where they are. Of course this second option is a little less efficient than the first one but in the same time give us a much wider spectrum of persons that we can meet.

3. Where can take place the virtual and/or physical meetings?

3A. Culture production and exhibition related spaces

Art galleries: presentation by the gallery’s owner(s) and eventually the artist(s).

Studios of artists: personal presentation by the artist(s).

Art fairs and other art exhibitions: personal presentation by the gallery owners, curators and artist(s).

Museums, foundations and other institutions: presentation by employee(s) of the museum, guides, and eventually the artist(s).

Studios of architects and designers, showrooms presenting the designers’ work and products, fairs and other exhibitions presenting architecture and design.

Corporate and industrial premises where are conceived, produced and exhibited art and design products.

3B. Travel related premises

Art exhibitions in hotels, on board super yachts or cruise ships, in airports: presentation by the owner(s) of the exhibition spaces or their employees and eventually artist(s) and curators.

3C. Other premises

Corporate and industrial premises of partner creators, sponsors, clients.
