[aha] Fwd: Craftivism, Arnolfini

[franca.formenti3]

ahahah!
e gira e rigira si torna alla manualità però dandogli una patina più trendy chiamandola activism.
carina l'evoluzione degli umani ...
da una parte  slow food con il cibo good e dall'altra il guerrilla crafting con gli oggetti etici...

alla prossima vedremo la moratti che cuce le vettovaglie di puro lino  -quindi free petrol- per l'expo con la sozzani e la versace  che le ricamano  con filo di gangia -quindi free cocaine - a san patrignano 

non ci si annoia almeno!

ecco qui un pò di link

questomagazine è fantastico perchè ci sono le ricette chimiche per intervenire sulla superfice del tessuto facendola reagire sia chimicamente e quindi tossica sia in modo naturale.

> Craftivism is an Arnolfini/Relational contemporary art project that   
> responds to the resurgent interest in craft as it relates to  
> socially- engaged art practice. It involves fourteen projects  
> developed by  artists and collectives that work with craft-based  
> traditions and  activist practices, and who employ the tactics of   
> 'craftivism' (combining crafting + activism) to question and disrupt   
> the prevailing codes of mass consumerism.
> 
> The project attempts to collapse the distinction between 'making'  
> and  'doing' - the former associated with craft, the latter with  
> human  action. It places an emphasis on interaction and participation  
> in the  wider social realm, and employs aspects of self-organisation  
> and 'open- source' principles. The artists involved engage with craft- 
> based  traditions through diverse practices including art, technology  
> and  fashion. Selected works exemplify 'innovation' in the general  
> sense  that newly invented forms might diverge from established rules  
> and  perceived norms.
> 
> Craftivism is developed in relation to a range of contexts and   
> includes nine artist-led participatory projects developed with local   
> communities, the outcomes of which are shown as part of a gallery-  
> based interactive exhibition, online and in free software-related   
> projects, workshops, talks and the uncurated satellite event   
> UnCraftivism. Events also take place locally at Brandon Hill Park,   
> Colston Hall, Full Circle St. Paul's Youth and Family Centre, Knowle   
> West Media Centre and The Mall Bristol.
> 
> The project will invite public interaction and provide opportunities   
> to take part, make work and learn craft-based skills to customise   
> products. It encourages wider communities to embrace the 'freedom'  
> to  create, modify and distribute products, and in so doing  
> demonstrates  the possibilities for people to modify their own lives.
> 
> Craftivism is part of the Artist/Activist season, a series of   
> Arnolfini projects in Autumn/Winter 2009/2010 which provides a   
> socially-active forum for debate and learning around issues of  
> climate  change and alternatives to the culture of consumerism.
