ARCHEAOLOGY: COLLAPSE – BODYWORK – RESSURRECTION
Key-words: interaction, spatial care, time of transition, violence, resurrection.
The spaces we use for conferencing in artistic research (AR) are not theatre-stages. The under-communication of conferencing-spaces as stages-of-a-kind, however, may be a problem. The spaces we use for conferencing in AR appear generic and abstract; designed for any content, yet being profoundly ideological in its cultural usage.
In a trans-disciplinary group of people with different profiles in their projects and their positions at school (KHiO), wee have attempted to gang up as ‘artistic researchers’, and initiated a process of inquiry into work-spaces to gather some impressions of these spaces by conducting simple activities there, to find a way of combining these in public space.
Bjørn Blikstad took us to the wood-workshop to link his contemporary reflections on wood-carving in art-history, in which the furniture elements are sunk into the weight of ornamentation. Petrine Vinje invited us to her studio and proposed a micro-phenomenological experiment, based on a highly structured approach, using object-tactility as a vehicle.
Lisa Lie invited the group to her office behind the scenes of the black boxes at the North End of the building, and used a card-divination game as a combined mapping device for the space and for relational memories. While Theodor Barth invited the lot to his booth at the design department, where he exposed the group to a 3-object paradigm.
In our 90’ session we will transpose this interaction into a shared conference space, based on the idea that the interaction will continue in the aftermath. We will reconfigure the panel-discussion as a genre, in using artistic methods to drive a research question: can we conceive of the conference space as a learning theatre? Can we resurrect the meme?
Contributors—Bjørn Blikstad, Petrine Vinje and Lisa Lie are PhD-fellows in design, art & crafts and theatre. Theodor Barth is an anthropologist working at KHiO.
