A guided public conversation around the ideas of Commune, Commons and Community. Two ‘Masters of Ceremonies’ journalist Jade Lindgaard and art critic and curator Thomas Boutoux will coordinate meetings and lead the audience, or rather, the members of this temporary community, through a series of artistic, performative, and theoretical practices questioning the subject. From the Paris Commune of 1871 to the emergence of political alternative parties (the Green party in the 1980s, the Pirate parties in the 2000s) to the many citizen initiatives of today, the terms Commune, Community and Commons have been fundamental expressions of dissatisfaction towards the state of society and the res publica, the space which belongs or should belong to everyone. "Grassroots" organisational forms have taken an unexpected turn with the rise of social networks, allowing experiments in education and self-organisation that resonate with those that took place in the 60s and 70s. Back then these experiments brought about far-reaching changes, but what about now? To what extent are these movements powerful and sustainable? How has contemporary art progressively adopted them? How can we organise ourselves and create effective communities within a subculture with the unique features of the art community? how to mobilise the power of what is “common”, of what must be constantly (re)composed by dynamic, shifting communities? This Printemps des Laboratoires will be a chance to publicly develop the examination of these questions.
