Stretchy Containers

'Stretchy Containers –
Artists on Chewing, Feeding and Letting Go'
is based on the project 'It Happens Anyway' in Summer 2019 at W139 Amsterdam, which looked to ‘cultivate the conditions for our own artistic maintenance as a shared public act in consideration of the bodily existence and life, the things we can and can’t control, within a web of human and non-human interactions’.
This publication has become an artist-made toolkit –including recipes, conversations, movement instructions– that acts not only as documentation but rather as a reinterpretation of space, events and processes into another kind of activating score.

Scores & Structures

This publication (edition of 5) is both a working tool and printed outcome of the ongoing collaborative research project 'Scores & Structures–From Mind to Map to Muscle' by artist Andrea Canepa, architect/artist Dasha Tsapenko and myself.
The project was initiated during our shared working period at Jan van Eyck Academie Maastricht (2018-2019) and deals with the exploration of scores and their embodiment. By looking at methodologies and material from architecture and urbanism as well as performance, somatic (body) practices and visual arts we research scores as design gestures that affect our actions, behaviours, and conceptual frameworks.
The publication corresponds to the growing online collection of scores see here.

Uchinokoto -
House
Family
Inside
I

In ‘Voice related, passing now’ fragments of collective memories are revealed by focussing on the relationship between ‘the acting/the instructed’ human being and (daily) objects in the course of time. By developing and executing a certain score of actions which involves specific objects, I construct a home-like / sacred area, inscribe the borders of a territory and share it with a public who is ̶ partly ̶ forced to be involved.
