In today's theoretical reflection on the artistic process of 
communication, an obsolete apparatus of concepts is involved, one no 
longer geared towards how visual art functions today. In What is 
Philosophy, Deleuze and Guattari maintain that it is philosophy's task 
"to create concepts for problems that necessarily change." In order to 
shift towards the development of such a new apparatus of concepts, 
the project Concepts on the Move intends to list the topical problems 
and conditions of the artistic process (of information and communication),
and to investigate research topics and issues which could lead to the 
beginning of another conceptual apparatus for dealing with the theory 
and practice of visual art.
In order to arrive at a reflexive distance, the project aims to establish 
a dialogue between reflexive and active participants in the field of 
visual art. Therefore, research workshops will be situated in locations 
where the conditions for such an exchange are optimal. The small-scale 
workshops will be organized around five participants per location. Each 
participant is requested to deliver a short statement on current issues 
in visual art and the necessary conceptual modifications involved.
