Caring Culture: Art, Architecture and the Politics of Public Health Caring Culture: Art, Architecture and the Politics of Public Health examines changing political uses of the concept of care in neoliberal democracies and asks how artists, architects, and designers both contribute to and attempt to critique its social manifestations. The publication brings together case studies of artistic and design interventions within health and social care institutions and broader political and philosophical essays and interviews relating to civic wellbeing. Contributors include curators, artists, politicians, architects, and healthcare professionals. Caring Culture is the first volume in the Actors, Agents and Attendants series of publications and symposia commissioned by SKOR to investigate the role of cultural practice in the organization of the public domain.

Wake up from the Nightmare of Participation! This book presents a platform for the development of proactive engagement and aims to fuel an agonistic debate among theorists and practitioners from various fields of knowledge, cultural backgrounds and political positions about the central thesis of Markus Miessen's recent publication The Nightmare of Participation - Crossbench Praxis as a Mode of Criticality. This book does not look for approval or consensual delibertion, but seeks for an agile examination of a proposed post-consensual (spatial) practice, formulating the necessity to undo the innocence of participation while promoting a conflictual reading of participation as a mode of proactive first person singular engagement: a step towards a state of acting and an individual, propositional practice. None of the contributions were content-edited; no consensual or editorial constraints were imposed on any of the contributors. Waking Up from the Nightmare of Participation is the epilogue to Miessen's trilogy on participation. Cover design by Liam Gillick. Contributors in order of appearance: Carson Chan, Patricia Reed, Tirdad Zolghadr, Schorsch Kamerun, Akademie c/o, Maria Fusco, Liam Gillick, Mika Hannula, Phillip Zach, Angelique Campens, Suhail Malik, Michael Hirsch, Jan Nauta, Federica Bueti, Dieter Roelstraete, Kristina Lee Podesva, Eyal Danon, Melanie O'Brian, Jeremy Till, Luigi Fassi, Morten Paul, Felix Vogel, Dan Perjovschi, Nina Möntmann, Hu Fang, Urban Subjects (Sabine Bitter, Jeff Derksen, Helmut Weber), Mark von Schlegell, Adnan Yildiz, Mark Fisher, Eva Tuerks, Magnus Nilsson, Ashkan Sepahvand, Wolfgang Zinggl, Stefan Heidenreich, Can Altay, Julia Moritz, Andrea Phillips, Nikolaus Hirsch, Michel Müller, Cybermohalla Ensemble, Jan Verwoert.

A matrix of life, nature and the cosmos, Antje Majewski’s World of Gimel is the artist’s own private universal museum in a nutshell, featuring a septet of objects: a clay teapot in the form of a human hand, a shell, a pot made of fragrant wood, a Buddha’s hand citron, a hedge apple, a white stone, a meteorite—acquired by Majewski during her numerous travels and encounters. The exhibition is a book; the book is an exhibition; the World of Gimel—a hybrid of Aleph and Babel, of fantasy and scientific knowledge—is a language laboratory, a structure en abîme, Majewski’s unique venture into the universe of things and their other identity. Participating artists: Thomas Bayrle, Helke Bayrle, Marcel Duchamp, Didier Faustino, Pawel Freisler, Delia Gonzalez, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Edward Edward Krasiński, Leonore Mau, Markus Miessen & Ralf Pflugfelder, Dirk Peuker, Agnieszka Polska, Mathilde Rosier, Gavin Russom, Issa Samb, Juliane Solmsdorf, Simon Starling & Superflex, El Hadji Sy, Neal Tait.

OK Talk brings together designers, artists and theorists operating in Finland and Britain to talk about emerging questions in design philosophy and strategic design. The series of events started at Helsinki Design Week on September 4 Topics Making Places Making Places takes a fresh view on spatial practice. It studies both existing and imaginary places, looking at their creation, evolution and essence. The speakers for the two Making Places talks, one in Helsinki and another one in London, range from architects that build, design systems or make music to researchers and designers who create places through cultural activities or visual identities. Using Helsinki and London as starting points, we will encourage the discussion to revolve freely around placemaking in relation to day and night, the natural and the human-made, infrastructure and spirit of spaces, cities and citizens, or planning and spontaneity. Strategies of Participation Strategies of Participation explores the design of encounters, interactions and collaborations. Having used tools and methods such as intuition, friends, different media, travelling, coffee and the paper that you are holding in making OK Talk, we are keen on learning new ways to design participation. The panelists include creative professionals in the fields of interaction design and cultural production specialised in events, online platforms or exhibitions. They are invited to share their skills and insights on creating constructive collisions between people. Borderlands Borderlands explores the crossing of boundaries between design, art and other fields with an emphasis on collaborative practices. The idea of this talk is to look at the role of the designer in the increasingly interconnected world where we see the ambiguity of professional identity, often connected with varied locations, people and modes of practice, as an asset. What can working in between disciplines offer for creative professionals and the world at large? How are design processes changing? The speakers will tackle these questions through their backgrounds that vary from architecture and music to critical and experimental design, publishing and curating.. [less ▲]
