FLOWER PICKINGS, a thematic workshop led by Marthe Ramm Fortun

There are no neutral shapes or spaces. Everything has a past, a connection with history. Your work has a future and the objects you create insist on being within a NOW, with us, here. Fully fledged and touching its contemporary times bareback, at risk. Its politics. Its patterns. Squirting sticky liquid. Crying blood. Touching us. Where does your work come from?

Your work and its agency is powerful and necessary, it is in polyphony, antagonism, quiet observance or playfulness in society, sparring with your peers and artists past. There is company! You are invited.

What is artist speech and writing and how does it move? While we walk together in the city of Rotterdam, showing and telling, we research these questions. Hey, Yvonne Rainer! We are moving and being moved.

Every single gesture is of essence. The note on scrap paper in your back pocket is key, precisely for being in touch with your ass, because the ass is close to your brain. The note on scrap paper, close to ass, heart and brain and a brand name sewn to the hem, could be the most important thing you wrote. ADIDAS/ASS/HEART/BRAIN

WALKING, SPEAKING, TAKING ACTION we will look for importance in places of no apparent value. A cast iron fence incarcerating spring flowers. Flower picking together in your communal garden.
