Workshop LIVING VANDALISM /// v rámci prehliadky SOCHY V ULICÍCH / BRNO ART OPEN 2009

Brno. Čas 14-20.6.2009. Skupina študentov a urbánnych aktivistov spolu s lektormi – architektom a dizajnérmi majú šesť dní na vyriešenie konkrétnej, provokujúcej situácie vo verejnom priestore mesta Brno. Workshop nadväzuje na projekty Urban Reset(SK,CZ) a Living Underground(SK).

Výsledkom bude trojrozmerný, funkčný a estetický zásah do mestskej každodennosti. Dielo by malo tematizovať niektorú z foriem vandalstva vo verejnom priestore – od úrovne občianskej – napríklad rýchlej devastácie exponátov minuloročnej prehliadky SOCHY V ULICÍCH až po “vysoké úrovne” bezprízornej stavebnej činnosti a necitlivého urbanizmu. Bližšia formulácia témy vznikne v skupine ako spoločná reakcia na niektorú z vytypovaných lokalít v meste.

Workshop je určený architektom, dizajnérom, enviromentalistom, mediálnym umelcom, voľným výtvarníkom a aktivistom. Kapacita je osem osôb, prihlasovať sa môžete na adrese sediva@dum-umeni.cz

O Multiplace
Multiplace je siet ludi a organizacii, venujucich sa interakcii medii
a technologii s umenim, kulturou a spolocnostou. Vyvrcholenim aktivit
siete je kazdorocny festival, ktory sa kona zaroven na roznych miestach
sveta. Jeho program je otvoreny dielnam, instalaciam, diskusiam, koncertom,
performance, vystavam, prezentaciam, projekciam a predovsetkym novym
formam kreativity. Povodne zameranie na kulturu novych medii prechadza
od roku 2002 trvalym vyvojom, okrem technologickeho aspektu digitalnych
medii v umeni, su predmetom zaujmu taktiez suvisiace esteticke, socialne,
kulturne, pravne, ci politicke otazky. Cielom “festivalu-siete” Multiplace
je vytvorit zazemie pre podporu medialnej tvorby, tvorit v otvorenom
a kolaborativnom prostredi a posilnit kriticke uvazovanie o zivote
v medialnej kulture. Multiplace pritom kladie doraz na experimentovanie
s moznostami spoluprace a prepajania medzi jednotlivymi uzlami siete.

About Multiplace
Multiplace is network of people and organisations interested in interaction
between media, technologies, art, culture and society. Network activities
culminate every year into the festival, that is happening parallely at
several locations in the world. Its program is open to workshops,
installations, discussions, concerts, performances, exhibitions,
presentations, screenings and especially new forms of
creativity. Original focus on the new media culture has been evolving
since 2002 and besides the technological aspect of digital media in art,
the focus shifted also to questions related to its aesthetical, social,
cultural, legal and political issues. The aim of the festival-network
Multiplace is to create the fertile ground for media art, to support the
creativity in an open and collaborative environment and to encourage
critical reflection on the life in the culture shaped by technologies.

On January 13th a meeting took place in Paris with the representants of ATTAC France, the National Union of Higher Education (SNESUP), the Fondation Sciences Citoyennes,  Sauvons La Recherche (SLR), Sauvons l’Université (SLU), the National Union of Researchers (SNCS) and the Union des familles Laïques (UFAL). In order to defend a public service of higher education and research, these organisations agreed on the need to engage a European-scale mobilisation against the Lisbon strategy which aims at building a “market of knowledge”. In this perspective, they proposed to call for mobilisations all around Europe on March 18^th, 19^th and 20^th 2009, at the occasion of the next spring summit. During this summit, the heads of governments of the Member States of the EU will have to assess the Lisbon strategy initiated in 2000, which frames the policies currently engaged in the Member States so as to “modernise” the national research and education system.

We – the collective group of first signers – invite you to join us by diffusing and signing the call. To do so, please contact Isabelle Bruno (isabelle.bruno at univ-lille2 dot fr) or Frédéric Lemaire (frederic.lemaire at telecom-bretagne dot eu).

The next spring summit of the heads of state and governments of the European union will take place on March 19th ‐ 20th ,2009. One of its priorities will be the assessment of the Lisbon strategy initiated in 2000, which frames the policies currently engaged in the Member States so as to “modernise” the national research and education system (primary, secondary and higher education, lifelong learning). The declared ambition of a “knowledge‐based society” should be encouraged, as far as it consists in a collective ambition to promote education and research as public goods, a guarantee of democratisation of knowledge, and an opportunity for citizens to possibly criticise scientific and technical choices. But the current orientation is different, and reduces this project to the building of a “market of knowledge” whose harmful influence can be observed everywhere, with consequences such as the weakening of the scientific independence, the deconstruction of the public research system and the strengthening of the private sector, the increase of precarious working and studying conditions, the deepening of inequalities in the access to knowledge and the widening of the gap between citizens and technical and scientific choices.

For a few years, large‐scale mobilisations of increasing intensity have been initiated by students, workers in education and research, and by social movements in general all around Europe. These protests strongly express a demand for a public sector of education and research which would not be built without any democratic debate, nor driven by the laws of the market. That is why we call for a mobilisation of European citizens on March 18th, 19th and 20th 2009 in every member state and beyond, within universities, laboratories and in the streets, AGAINST the marketisation of scientific and educative activities, AGAINST the generalised competition of people and territories, FOR an emancipating and democratic public service of higher education and research.
