I wish I could share this experience with more people. The expierence of meeting people from different countries, from different cities, from different institutions and who are all working with and thinking about 'art'. I liked the idea of an open forum.
Invite people from different schools and different cities just for one afternoon,evening,... and let them get to know each other and each others work, how they think about art, education,...Without the pressure of the name 'project' or 'three months',... How can we make this interesting? Can this be an end result? Can this idea (without making it concrete) bring us any other idea?
There is an artist , i cannot come up with his name right now , but his art exists mostly out of inviting people and cooking for them.
Can we make the expierence of meeting and working together visual? Like in a piece of art? A dance piece,music, theatre, performance, a manifest,...
Thank you for making this possible, for meeting, for talking, for thinking together!

Funny,Els, We did something like this before Bram (a friend of mine and i) we make a dinner on different public spaces : on a corner of the street, in a rose garden,and in a caravan , and then we stopped.
ReplyDeleteThe task was to choose 3 or 4 people each who we liked but not know very well , and hope it will match that evening. The next time for the next place we choose other people, it was very nice.
Maybe you mean Gordon Matta Clark? With his restaurant : FOOD?
"Food became something of a permanent stage for Matta-Clark and numerous friends,while providing reasonably cheap,fresh,and healthy nourishment for the youthful contingent of loft dwellers in a neighborhood with next to no commercial infrastructure. His Loisiane friends, musican Dickie Landry and performance artist Tina Girouard,put them in thouch with a spirited community ,from whom they drew talented cooks,novel recipes,and a certain festive dining philosophy that matched the art community's own developing rituals." from a book of Gordon Matta Clark.
