DIALOGUES OF WINTER,
DISCOURSES OF SPRING
The
DOWDOS: a series of Art Talks and Collaborations Inviting
artists,
artist-run-spaces, curators and cultural producers
28.
February Ð 13. June 2006 Hosted by Sparwasser HQ
Concept
and Hosted by: Michael Bears, Henriette Bretton-Meyer, Saim Demircan, Catherine
Griffiths, Joel Mu and Lise Nellemann.
Continuing Sparwasser HQÕs already 5 year commitment to
self economy and auto curating, DIALOGUES OF WINTER, DISCOURSES OF SPRING
(DOWDOS) re-visits Sparwasser HQÕs program of Òartists inviting artistsÓ in a
series of evening talks open to ÔnomadicÕ artists, curators, cultural producers
and artist-run-spaces currently residing or moving through Berlin. These talks hosted by Michael Baers,
Henriette Bretton-Meyer, Saim Demircan, Catherine Griffiths, Joel Mu and Lise
Nellemann have been organized to turn Sparwasser HQ into an Open Studio, which
works towards building future collaborations and partnerships in Berlin and
elsewhere.
Opening on Tuesday 28 February at 8pm and then every
other Tuesday until the 06 June, DOWDOS will provide the initial architecture for invited participants
to make new, or establish further contacts in Berlin, by communicating and
distributing their own subject-brand of artistic ideas. Sharing and testing these ideas (and
practices) within 6 different hosted settings, DOWDOS will re-examine the model
of ÔartistsÕ talksÕ by exploring different modes of presentation and
discussion. Each evening will have
its own particular agenda, structure and intended outcome, including moderated
discussion, presentations of artist-run-spaces and exchanges between curators,
open studio and collaborative projects with partner exhibiting spaces. THE TALKS AT A SNAP-SHOT:

will also be a program open to these productive situations - so look out for
talk updates!
We at Sparwasser HQ continue to welcome and enjoy a
growing audience and we hope that you'll be prepared to engage and contribute
to each evening's outcome. The
