| INTRO
| |
|
| |
| 5 Days workshop building up exhibition stands for our own work or research material; we would plan, curate, craft, present and document.
| |
| On day 6 everything would be ready for the official opening and speakers would be invited for a lecture about politics of craft and media prototyping
| |
|
| |
| DESCRIPTION
| |
|
| |
| During the first 5 days at V2 we would work intensively on an actual physical installation (loads of wood, tools, light, besides media specific objects). We would do a general plan before hand for the backbone of the installation and brainstorn on the variety of its parts, depending on the most appropriated media for a certain content. We would work in both planned and improvised mode.
| |
|
| |
| We would be basically working on prototypes of media display and reflecting on means to integrate them. We would all work with the same materials and get all the diversity of solutions associated in one object-volume, properly related with the available room and facilities at V2.
| |
|
| |
| It would be open and we would informally invite people that could help us out crafting our prototypes of media display. In the end of the day we would held informal gatherings with drinks, during which we could talk about the process, difficulties, purpose and eventually get feedback from outsiders and trigger a broader discussion.

| CONTENT
| |
|
| |
| The work of each student doesn’t have to be finished or deeply developed. The ultimate purpose is the reflection on media, media display, public awareness and communication. We just need material enough to trigger discussion on the development of prototypes. The more diverse, blurred and difficult is the content, the best.

| PURPOSE
| |
|
| |
| We would definitively question, think and discuss what craft is about and what collaboration work implies during these five days of construction work and collective brainstorm. We wouldn’t hold on directly to Arts and Crafts we would just practice it and integrate it into our own work. We would be playing the role of craftsman, curator and artist / media practicioner. We can directly test in how far manual work can ground our concerns, our capacity to communicate and in how far it might influence the value of the work on display.
