VISION FORUM SPRING MEETING 2012 - March 14-16, 2012.

Vision Forum is proud to announce its fourth international workshop with KSM and Östsam in Norrköping and Skärblacka March 14-16, 2012. It is a packed program with participants from all over the world that will meet local players for inspiration and creation.

This year’s meeting focuses the public and private a theme that KSM has worked on with its MA students over the last year. Can one make a distinction between and private and public in the age of digital and social media? Where does art and poiesis fit in a public private dichotomy? Can we talk about centre an a periphery in a round and quickly shrinking world? This are some of the questions that we will dwell upon together.



We are very happy to develop the established collaborations in Norrköping and pleased to travel to Skärblacka to meet new institutions and local enthusiasts.

OuUnPo[RTO]

«RECREATIVE TEMPORARY ORBIT» April 3-6, 2012

«As ideias são prodigiosas - elas e a maneira como se associam. Num momento, descobrimos que atravessamos o mundo, e que transpomos o infinito entre dois pensamento.» Fernando Pessoa


For this new OuUnPo session no topic has been defined. But we might keep in mind vague notions such as: path, ceremony, decadence, heteronomy, ... We decided to leave more time to the group itself and focus will be made on OuUnPo members interventions. Of course this also includes nice meals and partying.

The program is shaped as an imaginary book and each chapter is freely referring to a quote of Fernando Pessoa. The content of each chapter is kept secret until the first day’s Prologue. You are asked to bring a bathing costume and a total black outfit.

«A beleza é grega. Mas a consciência de que elaé grega é moderna.»

«A loucura, longe de ser uma armadilha, é a condição normal humana. Não ter consciência dela, e ela não ser grande, é ser homem normal. Não ter consciência dela e ela ser grande, é ser louco. Ter consciência dela e ela ser pequena é ser desiludido. Ter consciência dela e ela ser grande é ser génio»
08.30 pm - FREE TIME
11.00 pm - CHAPTER.10 - private
«A beleza de um corpo nu só a sentem as raças vestidas. O pudor vale sobretudo para a sensibilidade como o obstáculo para a energia.»

19h - A Floating Conversation, performance par A Constructed World et Speech and What Archive

Speech and What Archive présente leur troisième Floating Conversation : un texte / une performance / une lecture / une communication spatio-temporelle fluctuante. Le groupe tente de faire usage de la télépathie, du savoir-partagé, de la recherche, du non-savoir et des ouï-dires pour présenter le matériel et l'insaisissable au même endroit et au même moment. A la recherche de la capacité d'agir, de l'incarné et du vérifiable, A Floating Conversation est l'expérience de la nausea latine, l'expérience du noise anglo-saxon, l'expérience de la rumeur et du bruissement.

including texts by Anne Dressen, Antoine Dufeu, Marie Gautier, Anna Hess, Darian Leader, Etienne Bernard, Clémence de Montgolfier, Laetitia Paviani, Sébastien Pluot, Fabrice Reymond, Nina Safainia, Fabien Vallos

ANASTASIA AX at Verkstad

12 tons of paper and a truck load of ink
ANASTASIA AX – PAPER ISLAND
28 januari – 26 februari

Verkstad is very happy to present its first exhibition 2012 with the artist Anastasia Ax.

Anastasia Ax incorporates different mediums in her practice such as drawings, sculpture, video and performance. PAPER ISLAND is a gigantic pompeijiesque sculpture made of recycled paper and plaster. The work has been specifically conceived for Verkstad in Norrköping.

Anstasia Ax has created an installtion which has been made not only to consider, but also to hear and to climb by using. PAPER ISLAND is a gigantic white object made of white compressed paper, gypsum?, clothes and books. An island of human traces? An iceberg turned into a fossil? Traces after a catastrophe? A cocoon of memories? A lump of civilization? A sculpture to destroy and to relate to in an unsentimental way? A sculpture to dissect?

PAPER ISLAND is an independent sequel to EXILE that was staged at the music festival ‘Way Out West’ in summer of 2011. Here the audience was invited to participate in the installation. Accompanied by heavy techno music, the sculpture developed into a dance floor. At Verkstad the audience is also invited to participate, but this time by mounting the PAPER ISLAND and feeding the dormant mountaineer inside of ourselves.

Anastasia Ax was born in 1979, lives and works n Stockholm.

Events during the exhibition:
→ January 24-27: Come and watch us during the building of Paper Island! 10 a.m – 4 p.m
→ January 28 – Opening of the exhibition and performance by Anastasia Ax – 5 p.m and the performance starts at 7 p.m
→ Regular opening hours Thursday 5-8 p.m, Fri – Sunday Noon-4 p.m or by appointment
