eine Interventionsreihe im öffentlichen Raum der Stadt Basel

Mit performativen Interventionen werden Momente der Irritation und Absurdität geschaffen, die den öffentlichen Raum, mit seiner vermeintlichen Selbstverständlichkeit, temporär in ein Kunstfeld verwandeln.

„Situierungen“ hinterfragt den alltäglichen Umgang mit und im öffentlichen Raum und erschliesst neue Denk- und Reflexionsräume, die sich assoziativ auch zu anderen Disziplinen wie Sport, Akrobatik, Theater, Tanz und Strassenkunst hin öffnen.

Orte des Geschehens:

Claraplatz: Freitag, 10.9.2010, ab 18.30

Theaterplatz: Sonntag, 12.9.2010, ab 17.00

Aeschenplatz: Samstag, 18.9.2010, ab 17.00

Bahnhofsplatz SBB: Sonntag, 19.9.2010, ab 17.00

Zeitfenster jeweils ca 1 Std.

Am Samstag 19.6.10 findet im Plexwerk die Tagung “transfer” statt – ergänzt wird sie durch experimentelle Installationen und Exponate. Damit soll das Gespräch zu den Bedingungen für den Aufbau einer vitalen Transferzone der Erkenntnisse, Anliegen und Kreativprojekte aus Bildung, Gestaltung und Wirtschaft eröffnet werden. Thesen und Beispiele werden vorgestellt, wie sich der unklare Übergang zwischen Hochschule und Kreativwirtschaft in ein operatives Netzwerk verwandeln lässt. Dazu gehen wir bildungs- und wirtschaftspolitischen Fragen und Positionen nach, beachten dabei jedoch auch unternehmerische Potenziale und raumplanerische Konsequenzen.

Ebenfalls möchten wir auf die Diplomausstellung des Masterstudio HGK FHNW aufmerksam machen, die vom 16. – 22.6.10 in der Plexwerk-Halle gezeigt werden wird.

Dank Plexwerk hat die HGK einen Ort erhalten, wo sich Studierende und Akteure der Kreativbranche vernetzen und manifestieren können. Wir würden uns deshalb sehr freuen, Sie bei einem dieser ersten Ereignisse im Plexwerk begrüssen zu dürfen.

Journal for Artistic Research (JAR)

 Call for support: http://www.jar-online.net/call/call.html

 The international Journal for Artistic Research (JAR) is in the  making! After an initial development phase funded by Y (Institute  for Transdisciplinarity), Bern University of the Arts, we are now  looking for individuals and institutions to get involved and to  share our idea of a dedicated journal for artistic research.  

Already, JAR has widespread support. However, by making this call  public do we hope to widen the journal’s support basis before we  consolidate the journal and start working on issue 0 from the beginning of next year. Now is the time to get involved!

We have set up a webpage where you can find additional information and a link to the JAR draft proposal. There is also a form with which you can sign up to our mailing list. (more…)

CREATE 2009 is a 2-day conference about creating innovative interactions, whether digital consumer products, interactive services or interaction paradigms. A conference where the emphasis is on sharing the wealth of creative ideas we have developed in order to resolve problems, create new capabilities, or new functions, and where the aim is to evolve further creative designs that can make a difference to people.ProgrammeThe full programme is now complete and, similar to previous years, we have a good blend of academics and practitioners presenting. Our four keynote presentations are from:Josephine Reid, Pervasive Computing Lab, Hewlett-PackardSteve Benford, Mixed Reality Laboratory, University of NottinghamAndrew McGrath, Director of Design and Usability, Orange GlobalCrispin Jones, industrial and interaction designerThere are also 13 papers, from both academia and industry, all providing fascinating insights into the practice of user-centred design with digital technologies. Edinburgh Napier University’s Centre for Interaction Design is also providing a novel interactive session during the final afternoon that will get you thinking about the design issues that we will have to address in the near future.We use the middle evening productively with a showcase event, which was very successful last year. The event enables physical, interactive artefacts and prototypes to be demonstrated; the event is ‘augmented’ with a good buffet and some very drinkable wine.Who should attend?This conference will be of use to you if you are involved in user experience design and management, human-computer interaction, interaction design and usability, particularly if you want to hear how others are managing during these turbulent times. Delegates have commented in the past how refreshing it isto attend a small, friendly conference with a good mix of academics and practitioners and we hope that this will continue this year.So come along and share your own creative experiences. We look forward to meeting you on 1 and 2 July at Create 2009.http://www.create-conference.org
