Research School(s): How Intra- Institutional Practices Make Public Knowledge
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Konstfack Research Week 2019.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- "Based on recent and ongoing work produced within and in extension of a design and craft school, we will discuss ways in which a broader and less disciplinary understanding of research might inform the ways we work within, across and beyond institutions to make ‘public’ knowledge. This includes a discussion of how forms, at a range of scales including the ‘academy’, the ‘school’, the ‘exhibition’, the ‘workshop’, the ‘seminar’, can be considered as components and tools within institutional practice."

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.

Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Through the making of sound systems, bass cultures have been important in the development of underground musical genres from Reggae, Dub and Ska to Hip-Hop, Techno, Jungle and many more. For this two day sonic festival we were supported by musicians, DJs, and makers that in their own way have contributed and played an important role in the development of bass culture, through the making of sound systems, the organising of underground music and club culture in Sweden and beyond. Over two days the event hosted film screenings, workshops, talks, commissioned essays and DJ sets to showcase bass and sound system cultures, their creativity, history, and relevance today. The festival was organised by Right to design which is a practice-based platform run by Onkar Kular and Henric Benesch and through their artist-in-residency with Art Inside Out, Halland, Sweden.

Crafts Council Collections acquisition of The Politics of Shoes film and installation.

Ingår i: Crafts Council 44a Pentonville Road Islington London N1 9BY.

Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Politics of Shoes with Dash Macdonald Through the process of production, The Politics of Shoes reveals some of the social and political narratives contained in shoes and shoemaking. The project centres on the performance and preservation of heritage craft skills through the medium of living-history, a form of educational history telling that uses authentic tools, dress and practices. For the project, historical shoemakers Katarina and Juraj Matejik were commissioned to make a pair of poulaines; shoes with long pointy toes that played a key role in medieval identity politics. Acting as a resource for educational outreach activities, the film documents the shoemakers’ performances and expands on the usual living-history delivery by breaking from the story world of the period, introducing references from medieval times to the present day. These details illustrate the political significance of shoes throughout history; from how they are made, to to their use as an instrument of protest.
