call-for-collectives-2023 – OUTSIDEININSIDEOUTINSIDEOUTOUTSIDEIN

For this year’s edition of the outsideininsideoutinsideoutoutsidein laboratory we are inviting other collective(s) or individual who has experience with creative collectivness to merge with our own. We propose the following question: What is a collective among collectives?

We intend to explore dimensions of togetherness, care and collectivity with the intention of creating one singular piece based on art practices and beyond that the OUTSIDEININSIEOUTINSIDEOUTOUTSIDEIN collective and the other invited collectives will collaborate on.

Cooperation is something more than just a mechanism for collective management of resources, and so can be a way to overcome the systems that rule both the art world and everyday life. When resources change into shared goods, how can they be activated for the sake of community-building? What role does art play in the process? Can collective cooperation build a community, even temporarily or beyond time-lines?

* —as a collective we invite you to imagine— *

shapes tastes

textures & languages

thresholds we will meet.

we would like

to generate a cared space

driven by our dreams & obscure dreamscapes

to hear voices, to resonate

To attune to other species

flowing with a soup of senses, of belongings,

of techniques and processes to un- re-follow a path

We value your personal journey, experience and knowledge as much as the uncertainties that are dwelling within in ‘you’ towards the future. In fact, perhaps what you don’t know is based on what you know, while what you ‘know’ has already become what you ‘knew’– a ‘new’ unknown in the flux of space-time continuum.

By asking a question, it inherently manifests answers inside of the question; by answering, it then inevitably generates more questions.

This cycle triggers a momentum that is driven by natural forces,and it carries us towards streams of endless encounters.

By asking questions collectively, “we” orient

ourselves through mirroring each others– through recognise and discover the difference while sensing and experiencing the connections, in a coordinating space where “we” may resign ourselves from the pre-installed systems driven by instrumentality and functionality, to allow novel emergencies and mutations to co-exist in open-spaces created by the in-betweenness among the other selves.
