The Revolting Dance Party is an ongoing project, based on Group Material’s project of the same name, that engages with music that is focused on social and political issues. Amber Landgraff DJs the event using songs shared on sites like Youtube in order to bring social media as an act of activism back from the imaginary space of the Internet and into a physical community space.
DAY 2: October 22, 2011 at the Art Gallery of Windsor
Publication Plans: Saturday am
Homework is a four-day residency, two-day conference, and collaboratively written publication, and as such, we will utilize the morning of Day 2 to start generating content for our book, together. Details about times and locations to participate in this process will be forthcoming. However, as you already know, simply by attending, you have the opportunity to participate in the creation of this book. More soon.
Group Work: 12pm-5:00pm
Large discussion groups led by each keynote to delve into further detail around the issues being addressed throughout Homework. These Group Work sessions will address the following:
How do we support or invent the practices that are needed to respond to the economic, social, and political realities of today? How might we find solutions, inspirations, and models for a way forward through new schools, new byproducts, new practices, and new infrastructures, leading us toward a critical and novel way of integrating art with everyday life.
Group Work #1: Marisa Jahn: 12pm
Practices that embed themselves in existing infrastructures.
Group Work #2: Temporary Services: 1:30pm
Practices that invent infrastructures and infrastructural services.
Group Work #3: Gregory Sholette: 3pm
Practices that collectivize against and alongside new, old, and unimagined infrastructures.
Closing Remarks: 5pm
with Broken City Lab.
