Click on the images to enlarge them in another window Instant Coffee SAY NOTHING IN BRIGHT COLOURS Instant Coffee is a service oriented collective of artists, writers, curators, designers and code writers. Together they have developed a practice that culminates in bringing together large numbers of artists, designers, musicians and other cultural producers under loosely themed events. They offer networking services that promote local, national and international activities and publish a monthly on-line magazine, Instant Coffee Saturday Edition. In conjunction with their events, they also publish bookworks, posters and other multiples. Instant Coffee's most consistent members are Jinhan Ko, Jenifer Papararo, Kate Monro, Kelly Lycan, Cecilia Berkovic and Khan Lee. Instant Coffee developed, in part, as a response to the division and exaggerated difference between studio and exhibition practice. It wanted to offer its community a public place of practice, where ideas, materials and actions could be explored outside of the isolated studio and away from formal exhibition structures, but still supported by a critical discourse or at least offer the potential for one. From the beginning this need for a public place of practice was extended to a variety of disciplines, such as design, music and writing. In creating a space about work outside conventional modes of production, InstantCoffee privileges the relations built on the stuff of work, while also moving the notion of work toward a discussion of lifestyle and consumption. For 'school for non-productive learning' Instant Coffee will transform rum46 into a alternative class room/space for learning and exchange of knowledge and give a talk about their projects and activities.

With a critical outlook on collectively shared 'documents', construction and interpretations of 'truth' the works Alexander Vaindorf presents focus on individuals (selective memory) and form narrative formats to articulate time fragments of our current history.

I rum46 mandag d. 18. og tirsdag d. 19. august 2008 School for non-productive learning' er en tre-dages skole i rum46. Vi sætter talks og projektpræsentationer på skemaet sammen med workshops, fælles produktion og middage. Det bliver lange skoledage fra 15.00 - 22.00 med faglig og kulturel udveksling mellem akademikere, kunstnere og deltagende publikummer. Skolen efterfølges af udstilling, der præsenterer de deltagendes arbejde frem til søndag d. 31. august. rum46 håber med denne ”skole” at bidrage til diskussionen om, hvad det vil sige at være en (ud)dannet og deltagende (med)borger i dag. Organiseringen af skoler og undervisningsinstanser har gennem mange år været associeret med ideen om produktivitet og curriculum. Projektet kan således betragtes som en kommentar til det aktuelle effektivitetssamfund og de processer, der ligger til grund herfor. Projektet undersøger nye former for uddannelsespraksis. Og vi rejser spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt læring kan ske i rammer og former, der ikke er kategoriseret som læring? De deltagende er: Jim Duignan (Chicago) billedkunstner – Stockyard institute Chicago. www.stockyardinstitute.org Eric Håkonsson (DK) Cand. pæd psych. – skribent og tidligere professor på DPU, Danmarks Pædagogiske Universitet Alexander Vaindorf (S) billedkunstner www.alexandervaindorf.com Kelly Lycsan og Jinhan Ko(Instant Coffee) (CA) kunstnergruppe www.instantcoffee.org Eva Egermann and Christian Töpfner (Manoa Free University and more)(Wien) www.manoafreeuniversity.org rum46 www.rum46.dk rum 46 Studsgade 46 8000 Århus C www.rum46.dk |
