Michael Grothaus:  '"Our responsibility is to produce meaningful and playful toys for the kids, and also to help kids take the Star Wars universe and expand it in their own play plans," says [Steve] Evans. Unsurprisingly, in order to achieve that, he and his team work closely with the creative minds behind the franchise.'

Villeneuve-d’Ascq : 32000 euros emportés par le souffle de l’austérité pour la Rose des vents

Villeneuve-d’Ascq : 32000 euros emportés par le souffle de l’austérité pour la Rose des vents | Creative_me | Scoop.it
Par Stéphane Hubin pour La Voix du Nord : Alors que le théâtre scène nationale soufflera ses 40 bougies en 2016, des doutes pointent à l’horizon. En pleine saison, son budget vient d’être amputé de 32 000 € par le Département qui promet une coupe au moins similaire l’an prochain.
Pour les structures scène nationale du Nord, l’heure de la mobilisation a sonné hier. Directeur du théâtre de la Rose des Vents, Didier Thibaut avait convié ses homologues à une table ronde en réaction aux coupes budgétaires décrétées par la nouvelle majorité du conseil général. Institution culturelle dans la métropole avec sa riche programmation qui la voit proposer une cinquantaine de spectacles pour 140 représentations par an, la Rose des Vents (27 salariés) n’a pas échappé au souffle d’austérité. « En pleine saison, alors que les contrats artistiques sont signés, le conseil départemental nous retire 32 000 €, soit 20 % de sa subvention », s’indigne le directeur de la structure villeneuvoise, choqué de la méthode et inquiet pour l’avenir. « On nous a prévenu d’une baisse au moins égale en 2016, voire d’une disparition de notre subvention de 168 000 € », tremble Didier Thibaut, pour qui le mouvement enclenché pèsera sur l’offre culturelle. « On ne peut plus faire d’économies qu’en réduisant l’offre culturelle » Car si la fermeture du robinet départemental ne met pas directement en danger la pérennité de la structure, elle aura des incidences. Sur un budget annuel de 3 M € (abondé pour environ un tiers chacun par la Ville, l’État et la Région), la subvention du Département reste marginale, « mais elle nous permet de maintenir la manne consacrée à la création, dans un contexte où les budgets sont restés à l’équilibre ces dernières années quand nos charges augmentaient. Nous avons serré partout sur le fonctionnement. On ne peut plus faire d’économies qu’en réduisant l’offre culturelle. Et, moins de spectacles, c’est aussi moins d’emploi… » Alors que se profilent les élections régionales en décembre, la célébration des 40 ans de la structure à partir de janvier pourrait avoir un goût d’amertume. « On fêtera notre belle histoire en nous posant des questions : écrit-on les dernières pages du livre ou repartons-nous pour une nouvelle histoire de 40 ans ? », interroge Didier Thibaud.

The Artist Work Space: Part Lab, Part Studio | by Create Hub // #mediaart | Creative_me | Scoop.it
The artist studio is evolving. Artists using code and technology in their practices reflect a shift in the artist work space. Amy Haddad reflects on this evolution. People are fascinated with artist studios. This is one reason why visitors flock to the recreated Ed Paschke Howard Street Studio at the Ed Paschke Art Center in Chicago, Illinois, or Francis Bacon’s original studio, relocated to the Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin, Ireland. Visitors become voyeurs, obtaining visual clues of techniques, sources of inspiration and modes of production. Increasingly, though, artists, creatives and even those in math and science-based industries are using computer code for creative expression. The uptake in code and the blurring of industry boundaries are influencing the artist studio.Since it is possible to code from almost anywhere, is there a need for a physical space to create art? Despite the flexibility using code brings, artists are still utilizing physical spaces. In part this is because a designated work space offers an escape from the distractions of everyday life. Nick Briz, a Chicago-based new media artist who uses code, acknowledges the convenience of creating art with his computer, and frequently worked from home. ...
