Work Places and their Future Stories – Online Summer School with Anamarija Batista

• Led by Anamarija Batista, with invited guests Iris Laner and Sven Anderson
• 1st, 8th and 15th July 2021
• €50

• Maximum Participants: 12

We are delighted that curator and art historian Anamarija Batista will be leading our 2021 Summer School, Work Places and their Future Stories. The school will focus on how we can think about workplaces, and consider how we can relate them to the ideas of exchange and production. The school will discuss these questions in the context of serial working conditions, collaboration, knowledge production and art education. Batista has also invited philosopher and art educator Iris Laner, and artist and academic Sven Anderson to contribute.

In these sessions we will engage with the question of how productivity, collaboration and development are reflected in the actual design of ‘workplace’, but also in its ideas. The conceptions of work processes play an important role here, in connection with issues like how collaborative working is promoted, how individual workplaces should be arranged, who connects with whom, who is able to make decisions and whose voice is heard by others. Therefore, we will take a special interest in revolutionary institutions of art education and in new forms of dynamic workplaces in the field of art, which are organized in the form of artist in residence programs. These examples give us a basis to discuss future notions of productivity as well as collaboration, but also to imagine the way these will be expressed in the form of workplace arrangements.

In preparation for the workshop, participants will receive a reader with selected texts (mid June). We will use the format of group presentations to present and discuss the texts during the workshop.

 

Application Procedure

The school is open to artists, curators, writers, activists, musicians, architects and academics. Please note this three-session course has a limit on places. We will need - An expression of interest specifying why you are interested in the topic of Work Places and their Future Stories; a short bio 100 words maximum; supporting documentation of two projects maximum.

Email materials with subject header - Summer School: Workplaces and Their Future Stories in a single PDF to: artadmin@firestation.ie

We are accepting material until 5pm 11th June 2021.

 

Programme and guests

- Session: 1 1 July 2021 Bauhaus & Black Mountain College

Invited guest - Iris Laner

Elaborating on the two historical cases Bauhaus and Black Mountain College in a first session, we will explore how productivity, collaboration and development, such as the artistic co-creation of social mass production or the non-hierarchical approach to education, were organized in the field of artistic educational practice.

We will engage with discussions probing how these innovative perspectives manifested themselves both in the workplace, and, in the context of lived teaching practices at Bauhaus and Black Mountain College. On a theoretical level, we will look at the economic approaches of Time in relation to the idea of productivity and examine how these linked and transferred into the field of art education.

Session 2 : 8 July 2021 Artist-in-residenceprograms as dynamic artistic workspaces

Invited guests Sven Anderson & Iris Laner

Focusing on ‘Artist in Residence’ programs in a second session, we will concentrate on recent designs of dynamic artistic workplace. Within their artist in residence programmes, institutions like bonn hoeren and Schloss Solitude provide a space for temporarily restricted forms of individual or collaborative artistic engagement. We want to have a closer look at the conditions of working and collaborating within these institutions and ask how the always newly experienced workplace affects productivity and development. Sven Anderson will give us an insight into his projects The Manual for Acoustic Planning and Urban Sound Design and The Office for Common Sound.

Session 3: 15 July 2021

Work Places and their Future Stories

Invited guest: Iris Laner

The current COVID-19 pandemic and the wave of digitalisation have a significant impact on our working world. In this third part of the workshop, we will develop visions of tomorrow's workplaces by thinking their design alongside ‘future’ notions of productivity and collaboration. What will the ‘future’ workplace look like? Where will people work and for how long? What forms of communication formats will be used? How will we work together and how will we present our ‘results’?
