___results // residency programme @ Sparwasser HQ
Sparwasser HQ starts year 2010 by defining public sphere/ offentlighed and the use or misuse of rhetoric, free speech and convention. We do this with the help of the respondents to our 'open call'.
Sparwasser HQ wished to learn from and set the parameters according to all incoming proposals. Apart from offering two Nordic/Baltic residencies in Berlin, we also sent out an international call in order to find engaged text writers.
We received a lot of very good applications and were able to invite two residents and ten text writers.
The work of both residents deals with the ultimate exchange between artist and audience in the making. They are realized more as interventions, rather than as 'art event':
Berlin, open your windows!
Anthony Marcellini (Gothenburg, Sweden)While in Berlin Anthony Marcellini will create will an auditory public space using temporary platforms for a series of public declarations. Written by him and performed by an opera singer from open windows of apartment buildings throughout Berlin, these libretto declarations shall reflect the history, the dreams, the tribulations and the triumphs of each neighborhood.
Exploitation On Demand
Karin Laansoo (Tallin, Estonia)
Within the frame of public sphere and rhetoric Karin Laansoo is sending out her 'open call' as one part of her curatorial residency project. She invites authors and volunteers to engage in her project by suggesting performances dealing with a variety of exploitation. With the help of these submissions she is planning to create a 'manual' of exploitive situations. A number of selected performances will be performed in Berlin. You are welcome to contribute, please read the 'open call' below and respond!
Ten text writers were approached and are invited.
