afloat assembly is a para-institution and residence programme for contemporary art on a sailing boat, which serves as a platform for artistic research and production at various sea-side locations. At the centre of the programme is the boat as a place of international exchange and transdisziplinary discourse. The decentralised model, anchored in both urban and rural locations, encourages trans-locational and durational formats and thus scrutinizes current modes of centralised and fast-paced art production.
For the upcoming edition, a group of artists, curators and theorists have been invited to develop a public programme taking place during a sailing trip from Hamburg to Flensburg in August 2020.
