Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- For the third year, the AHA festival investigates the meeting between art and science in a three-day event at the Chalmers University of Technology hosted by the Department of Architecture and the Department of Physics. An international festival intended to provide enlightening experiences, staging surprises, new thoughts and displaced perspectives that lead to alternative modes of thinking about exploring the world through art and science. We invite scientists (physicists, historians, astronomers, engineers), artists (dancers, musicians, painters, poets, acrobats) who reside in these borderlands and wish to share their vision and work. The key intention is to celebrate both art and science as key knowledge building devices.The first year’s theme ’Embodiment’ (2014) explored the body as our anchor in the world, followed by the 2015 theme on ’Numbers’, a delightful net we cast over the world. This year's theme is ’Uni-verse,’ again a natural consequence of our interest in the relation between art and science. The elemental force that drives science as well as art is curiosity. Come be curious with us! During the festival we have chosen to divide the word universe into three: uni and "-" and verse. Uni means that something is combined into a whole. Verse means that we are turned in a direction, the origin of the word tells us that it is the plow that turns at the end of the field. And the dash "-" is all the spaces and cracks where new discoveries can grow. Art and science unfolds in the gap between what we know and what we want to know.

Allmänningen/The Common Room
- 2023
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Allmänningen/The Common Room was a Vinnova-funded project at the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts, Gothenburg University (2018–2021). The aim of the project was to begin to develop and pilot a new public model for collaboration and usership between the university and society. Referring directly to the Swedish commons concept of Allmänningen and illustrated through terms such as Allmän (general), Allemansrätten (right of public access), Allmänheten (the general public), the commons can be viewed as not only a right to public access, but a relation between societal institutions and the individual citizen. A relation which within the context of Sweden, could and should naturally be applied and extended to the publicly funded university as a common societal resource. Although there are differences between the natural commons studied by influential figures such as Elinor Ostrom and the university as ‘commons’, the analogy stresses the relational dimensions between viable and sustainable institutions, and the public trust in the commons & its resources. Through a series of residencies in 2021, Allmänningen (The Common Room) began by inviting practitioners, collectives and organisations to help think through questions of what kind of common resources are produced within the university? How can these resources be developed as public commons? In what sense are these resources enclosed, vulnerable and at risk of exploitation? And what is needed today to produce a socially sustainable institution? By addressing these questions, the residencies through scholarship and practice piloted and began to suggest alternative modes and models for university collaboration and usership. Allmänningen/The Common Room prototyped residencies with Sandi Hilal (DAAR), Post Workers Theatre, Kulturhuset Blå Stället and Åbäke. Through four posters with edited interviews, transcriptions and commissioned texts the overall publication provides a comprehensive overview of the residency outputs and intentions.

AHA! festival 2014

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- ”Science and art” is the typical motto of a polytechnic, with the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm as a Swedish example. Only too seldom do we have occasion to ask ourselves what the words are meant to imply.The Royal Institute of Technology received its emblem in 1827. At that time, ”science” referred to theoretical knowledge, and ”art” to practical ability. Our understanding of the world around us on the one hand, our capacity to change it on the other – in both cases in a systematic or methodical fashion, and in both cases in broad generality. Today, we would rather speak of theory and practice, but the question is essentially the same: how do we go from thought to action, and how do we get back again?But the meaning of the two words was soon to change. Today, ”science” no longer refers to systematic knowledge, but rather to a highly professionalised, specialised and often technically advanced activity intended for the production of empirically secure facts. Similarly, ”art” is no longer a methodical ability, but rather a complex and autonomous activity comparable to science: the creation of images, sounds, and other forms of sensuous experience with a most immediate effect. Forms that grab hold, shake up, leave us at a loss. Experiences that make us question ourselves and the world around us.The relation between science and art has become more complex, but is just as important to attend to. Their meeting is still that of theory and practice, but also something more: a meeting of causal connections and meaningful coherences, of given conditions and unsuspected possibilities, of the order of things and our own place within it.By bringing together science and art, architecture provides an ideal playing field for such a confrontation. This is why the Department of Architecture at the Chalmers University of Technology has initiated the AHA! Festival, October 21–23, 2014 that, during three days of lectures, workshops, conversations, exhibitions, concerts, performances, and mingles, will offer thought-provoking experiences, hands-on surprises, itinerant perspectives, and savoury ideas. In this way the festival welcomes students and researches at Chalmers and the University of Gothenburg to turn the searchlight onto the relation between two different– but equally important – human activities.

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The AHA festival investigates the borders between art and science in a three-day event at the Chalmers University of Technology hosted by the Department of Architecture. An international festival intended to provide enlightening experiences, staging surprises, new thoughts and displaced perspectives that lead to alternative modes of thinking about the space between art and science. We invite scientists (physicists, historians, mathematicians, medical students), artists (dancers, musicians, painters, poets, chefs) and not least architects, who reside in these borderlands and wish to share their vision and work. The key intention is to celebrate both art and science as key knowledge building devices.

Fountains Failures Futures: The afterlives of public art
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Fountains Failures Futures: The afterlives of public art. - Lund : Skissernas Museum - Museum of Artistic Process and Public Art.
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Research and discussion about public art frequently focuses on conditions of emergence and production for public works. Fountains Failures Futures starts at the other end – thinking about the afterlives of public art in relation to processes of decline, decay, acts of reparation and re-imagination, transformation, and change. We are interested in questions of sustainability,custodianship, and whether “failed” public artworks can be revitalised and thought anew. What are the implications for their authorship and ownership, and what challenges does this present for commissioners, artists, architects, and urban planners?How can producers, owners and custodians of public artworks, and the communities living with these works, anticipate and accommodate complex afterlives of public art?

The Right to design
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Urgent Pedagogies Issue #9.
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this issue of Urgent Pedagogies, The Right to design, a practice-based research platform run by Onkar Kular and Henric Benesch, is presented. The platform has the dual aim of understanding the entangled historic and present relationship between design and rights and to claim ‘design’ itself as a special kind of right that is accessible beyond class background, gender, ethnicity, age, and disability. The platform currently serves as the base for activities such as assemblies, (mis)readings, broadcasting and educational initiatives with partners inside and outside academia. Contributors include Onkar Kular, Henric Benesch, Arjun Appadurai, Arturo Escobar and Caleb Femi.

Konsthistoriepodden, avsnitt 17: Lejon & Drake från Babylon
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Konsthistoriepodden. - : Acast. ; :17
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- På Röhsska museet i Göteborg finns det två reliefer i glaserat tegel som har fångat vårt intresse. Den ena reliefen föreställer ett lejon, den andra föreställer en drake. Dessa härstammar från processionsvägen mot Ishtarporten i Babylon. Ishtarporten var en av åtta stadsportar och entré till staden Babylon och uppfördes mellan 604 och 562 före vår tideräkning. I Sverige är dessa två reliefer ensamma representanter för denna tidiga högkulturs konstnärliga uttryck. I poddavsnittet berättar vi om civilisationens vagga och de babyloniska gudarna Ishtar och Marduk som döljer sig bakom djursymboliken. Då dessa två reliefer härstammar från de tyska utgrävningarna i Babylon, alltså i nuvarande Irak, som ägde rum mellan 1899 och 1917 kommer vi berätta mer om utgrävningen av de små fragment och hur man arbetade för att rekonstruera Ishtarporten, processionsvägen och två fält två fält från fasaden av Nebukadnessar II:s tronsal. Dessa rekonstruktioner finns nuförtiden på Vorderasiatisches Museum som är inhyst i Pergamonmuseum på museiön mitt i Berlin. Vi kommer också berätta hur bygget av Pergamonmuseum kom att påverka rekonstruktionen av dess babyloniska byggnader och inte minst avyttringen av djurrelieferna. Hur och varför har de två babyloniska tegelrelieferna hamnat i Göteborg på Röhsska museet, där vi även nuförtiden kan beskåda dem? Det är en av många frågor vi ska ge svar på i vårt nyaste poddavsnitt!
