Disclosures – London

29-30/03/2008 participating with Critical Practice in Disclosures, Gasworks, London

We participated in an event called Disclosures on the 29th – 30th March 2008.

Disclosures seeks to scrutinise the notion of openness across fields of cultural production at large. A first reading of openness refers to situations in which the viewer, reader, listener or internet user becomes emancipated through egalitarian participation, diffuse collaborative authorship and/or the breaking down of hierarchical and social boundaries
It was organised by Anna Colin and Mia Jankowicz of Gasworks. See the programme here.
Critical Practice contributed directly to Phase 1 and Phase 3 of the programme.

Phase 1
We participated in a panel discussion
The View From Here: after Open Congress with Critical Practice, node.London and WMAOYW
1130-1300 Saturday 29th March 2008.
Toynbee Hall, Lecture Hall, 28 Commercial Street, London E1 6LS.
here is our Brechtian multi-voiced Introduction.

Phase 3
In Phase 3, we convened a ResourceCamp to tackle the ‚elephant in the room‘ of open organizations and those in receipt of public money – the management and distribution of money and resources.

Art is not just material that can be bought and sold like any product on the market. In a collaborative project, we aim to move towards making proposals and alternative suggestions as to possible roles of art in society, to build bridges between art and activism and engage in critique.

We are hosting five days of events, discussions, workshops, screenings etc. as part of our degree show at Chelsea College of Art. We invite you to attend, participate and critically collaborate.
