The December 2025 monthly Cover Story, “Mentorship and Movement”, is up on our homepage: www.lttds.org 

“Since Spring, we’ve been mentoring Caimin Walsh, a thoughtful curator based between County Cork and Limerick, Ireland, through a bursary that he was awarded from the Arts Council of Ireland. The dialogue has been flowing and rewarding—we quickly discovered a shared taste for sprawling, tangled research.” → Continue reading (after December, this story will be archived here).

Cover Stories are published monthly on Latitudes’ homepage, showcasing past, present, or upcoming projects, research, texts, artworks, exhibitions, films, objects, or field trips related to our curatorial work and activities.

LaPublika – Public sphere laboratory for artistic research, consonni, Donostia, 10–11 November 2015

 Mon, Nov 2 2015

Latitudes has been invited by consonni to give a two-day seminar and a public lecture in the context of LaPublika, a programme of activities concerning the way artistic practices construct the public sphere. The programme will take place over the next two years in the recently opened International Centre for Contemporary Culture Tabakalera in Donostia, on the 10 and 11 November, and is a joint initiative together with Donostia-San Sebastian European Cultural Capital 2016.

 "Public sphere here is understood as spaces considered to be public (the street, the square, the city), as well as the internet or the communications media, and the mechanisms with which we participate in managing what is common (language, rites, norms, the aesthetic of collective processes). At a time when new social and civic paradigms are arising, LaPublika seeks to provide a framework of work and reflection upon those processes." (....) "In addition to the presence-based programme, all the activities have their version in podcast format on LaPublika’s radio-web, the central hub of the project, which is also backed up by programming involving interviews, radio spots and sound pieces."

Latitudes' workshop titled “Beyond the roundabout, or what’s public about public art?” will take the legacy of Land Art as a starting point – or more specifically, Robert Smithson’s notion of “continual movement” – to address the multiple temporalities which can constitute the form of an artwork in public space. Approaching projects (rather than beholding objects) the workshop will discuss artists who conceptualize or actualize their works against a backdrop of vast stretches of time or topological change. In the context of a networked culture which seems to offer an accelerating and horizontal concept of the public sphere, the workshop will furthermore address what is at stake when “digging deep” and slowing down.

For the public lecture on November 11, Latitudes will forgo a chronological account of its projects of the last decade, and instead attempt various transects through its curatorial projects determined by the public sphere, raw materials and their transformation. From the zinc which led to an Esperanto micro-nation, to the air of a Beijing shopping centre, or the dead trees of printed news, Latitudes will join some traits and ideas around “human resources”, extractive modernity, obsolescence and the carbon cycle.
