SPACES OF ANTICIPATION Anticipation, both as ‘looking ahead’ and ‘looking forward’, evokes an idea of expectation and excitement towards what and who is yet to come. It also suggests the idea of taking action in the present to get prepared for potential encounters. Anticipation is becoming a field of study in itself, a field that continuously analyses present conditions to respond to upcoming events, developments and trends. Starting from these considerations and implications, the project Spaces of Anticipation looks at this manifold notion in relation to artistic and cultural institutions. It proposes various strands of research that might help to define the fields of action in which institutions work and communicate with their communities. In these terms, the word anticipation is proposed as a conceptual and linguistic prop, a support from which the research unfolds and around which various positions are gathered in discussing institutional models, practices and attitudes.
