The Textimage ERANOS DIALOG.
Christiane ten Hoevel und Stella Veciana.

 

The article presents the ERANOS DIALOG as a stimulating dialogue format for the development of inter / transdisciplinary projects. Eranos in ancient Greece was originally a friends’ banquet where everyone contributed food. In a figurative sense, today Eranos is a mental feast, where the guests share, for example, a speech, a song, a drawing or their openness to improvise at joint talks and discussions. The talks follow the »open space principles« of a mini symposium: the contributions follow each other without any discussion in between, like pearls on a string.

Out of the shared experience of the ERANOS DIALOGUE, Christiane ten Hoevel and Stella Veciana developed together an experimental »text image«. Starting from the concept ERANOS DIALOGUE itself, each letter was associated with significant aspects of the experience gained during ERANOS DIALOGUE: like »exchanging« for »e« or »resting« for »r«. As a next step, each artist associated these verbs with an image, which  evolved into a description of a storyline. Comparing the descriptions of each verb created a common semantic intersection. Linear links with different colors which distinguish new relations of meaning and interpretative connections can now be seen merging in an overall optical image of rich reciprocal exchange.
