In July 2022, I was lucky to participate in the seminar Towards Perma-Cultural Institutions: Exercises in Collective Thinking<\/i>. It involved discussions in a closed group of practitioners, artists and curators, as well as public events accessible online throughout the week as well as in the form of a public day on site.<\/p>\n

As a result, we released a compilation of texts and souvenirs in a publication. My contribution, In the Same Breath<\/i>\u00b8 looked at new methodologies of collective action in the art field and insisted on the importance of community-making and place-relating.<\/p>\n

Participants of the seminar:<\/p>\n

Art Residency Research Collective (Pau Cat\u00e0\/ Morag Iles\/ Miriam La Rosa\/ Patricia Healy McMeans\/ Angela Serino), Giulia Bellinetti, Felipe Castelblanco, Viviana Checchia, Culture for Climate (Ewa Chomicka\/ Anna Czaban), Madeleine Collie, Clelia Coussonnet , Alfred Decker, T.J. Demos, Marianna Dobkowska, Maja Fowkes & Reuben Fowkes, Yoeri Gu\u00e9pin, Michael Marder, Riya Matthew, Lola Malavasi Lachner, Anna Melnykova, Paloma Nana, Sour Grass (Annalee Davis\/ Holly Bynoe), Ela Spalding, St\u00e9phane Verlet Bott\u00e9ro.<\/p>\n

At the same time, there has been a growing disillusionment with the art world itself. The western art system too perfectly seems to mimic the neoliberal economy that we all live in.<\/p>\n

Intensifying climate change makes it clear that the cultural sector, along with all other parts of society, cannot continue in the same way as before. The ecological catastrophe that we are facing triggers a strong impulse for change. In response, the summer seminar Towards Permacultural Institutions: Exercises in Collective Thinking\u201d reflected on how plants and permaculture can inform curatorial and institutional work beyond the superficial application of sustainability guidelines.<\/p>\n

The publication brings together essays, reflections, exercises, prompts, recipes, reading lists and other materials to move towards relational and reciprocal practices in the art field and beyond.\u2019<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1578631652655{padding-top: 4vh !important;}”][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md”]\t
