International Art Competitions - art contest for artists: workshop

<Deadline: 7 December 2019>

Team work - workshops

10:37

Deadline: 7 December 2019

The Hungarian Contemporary Architecture Centre - KÉK together with LEAP Collective invites contributions to the workshops accompanying the exhibition The Art of Joining: Teamwork. The two-day workshop to be held between 10-11 December aims to create a platform for the exchange of knowledge on historical and contemporary collaborative practices in architecture and design. We welcome contributions from groups and individuals in any form, conceived in relation to the three thematic sections of the workshops:

[1] Factory: How do we work cooperatively? -- This workshop will focus on understanding modes of collective production, starting with the stark contrast between capitalist systems of factory labour and communist work brigades, juxtaposing their influences on architectural production. Drawing on historical case studies, the session will engage with contemporary issues through the question of ownership and authorship in the collective work in the past and in the present of global knowledge sharing infrastructures.

[2] Network: How do we organize? -- We will explore the network as both a figure of collaboration and a form of labor in this workshop. Working from Konrad Wachsmann’s concept of the interdisciplinary web, we will ask how collaborators past and present have built connections across geographic and disciplinary distances. How has the network been produced historically as an effect of technologies such as the telephone, fax, and airplane? Now, when networking routinely takes place online, what advantages might exist in sharing space and being present together? We invite contributors to reflect on networks and networking in their own practices or as observed in historical cases.

[3] School: How do we learn together? -- In this workshop we would like to discuss and experiment with collaborative methods of learning. Taking Konrad Wachsmann’s strictly designed educational formats as a starting point, we ask if there is a learning method that matches the collaborative design-process in architectural and design production? Sharing, re-reading and re-assembling information are key techniques in our knowledge production. Through historical case-studies and contemporary practices we will (and you are invited to) discuss the tools that serve today’s global knowledge network.

Drammaturgia del quotidiano _ OPEN CALL

10:10

Deadline: 25 July 2019

Cohabitation inside the house will be the workshop starting point and together that of arrival. Circadian rhythms, satisfaction of primary needs, distribution of different tasks, construction of private spaces in a context of cohabitation, sharing time and environments in moments of collective work, partying as a way to break routine, party becoming a new routine: what would happen if all this was meticulously observed, noted down and scripted? What would we do with our bodies, our movements and gestures, if we could write down – for 24h – the playwrighting of our own daily life?
During this ten-days-workshop, passing through exercises of theatrical and performative source, readings, discussions, writing and composition moments, together with all suggestions coming from participants, we will walk on the border between the superficial, distracted dimension of everyday life, and the aesthetic, iper-conscious dimension of artistic forms. Starting from what we will be, and what we will have – our being together in that specific house – we will experience practices, techniques and attitudes aiming to find that braking moment when the shifts from one dimension to the other occurs: these training forms belong both to actors preparing for the scene and to artists preparing for their production. That hybrid dimension, that meanwhile moment we will find ourselves in, will be a fertile territory for new discoveries about our gestures, our voice, about how we use space, our way of looking at it, the way we carry our body, the way we are carried by it.
This workshop aims to develop a real dramaturgy of the group's daily routine in the house, which will be performed on the last day, under collective direction.

Workshop is open to researchers, artists, curators, actors, dancers, musicians, but also people working in every field of practice and everyone who is in general interested in the workshop core subject.

To apply send to our e-mail your cv and all materials you think could be useful to introduce yourself, and to let us understand what's your interest in this workshop.
