22 – 24.10.2024 Workshop
Knot Not Pot: Lend Me Your Twine
with Anna Reutinger and Guest
A double negation of solitude, this week is for exchanging an idea an running with it, to learn some new tricks of tethering.
You will be asked to work within a generous constraint—learn a new technique, use a new material, develop a new process—resulting in a physical work by the end of the week. We will focus on a thinking-through-making approach that is based on action without hesitation, and trusting in your gut. To get started, free yourself from the decision of what to do and start doing it, gather the materials, arrange the site and enter the flow. Works will be installed in the DAD space and the week will conclude with a group feedback session.
The KNOT NOT POT Workshop is intended as the kick off to develop work for the exhibition at the Slotervaart space and as the precursor to the Pot Talk gatherings.
Pot Talks:
Pot Talks are monthly gatherings to give communal attention to individual practice. Part installation, part presentation and part feedback, Pot Talks provide a framework for an ongoing rhythm of dialog between peers. Organized in small groups which remain consistent throughout the year, each student will have a turn to present their work in a relevant style and context of their choosing, and invite their group to respond and provide support. These talks are facilitated by Anna Reutinger and are accompanied by individual meetings.
