Program

Sound of Repetitions and Destruction
Karin Bäckström – [krig]
 

At 1 PM [krig] will start a process of building a temporary yarn-based construction out of Speldosan, that generates a soundtrack based on the activity. The construction will be unravelled at the end of the day (4 pm). You are welcome to help [krig] with the making and to witness the success or a creation of a huge mess! (a.k.a Trassel..)

Inauguration performances
”Tails on Sacred Cows”, performance by Alma Winkler
”I Hate This Place”, speech by Sarah Degerhammar

My room
Performance by Maja Hjälte
 

In my room, I am carefree. I am Siri Derkert and this is my great big ground-breaking collage. I am the daring Tamara de Lempicka, the Dadaist Sophie Taeuber-Arp. I am an abstract expressionist and want to splatter like Pollock. I am an integral member of the Bloomsbury Group. I am Sonia Delaunay and paint on tablecloth, clothing and furniture. I am Maja Hjälte.

DJ [krig] and Andreas
 

Cash is queen.

The term “data materialisation” means architecture may finally resonate with the complexity of ecology. In relation, “data visualisation” exposes the hidden beauty, intelligence and complexity of observed systems; however data materialisation can produce these within new synthetic fields, increasing matter’s design ability and enabling enriched synthesis. These concepts are presented by Alisa Andrasek, designer of Biothing and Bloom Games and director at GAD UCL in Bartlett, London.

About Friday Lectures
Friday Lectures is a series of talks with the aim is to give master students an unexpected, yet inspirational education experience. The theme for this spring was Transitions: “Reality – fantasy: A controlled mindset versus subconscious unfettered thinking. We are in constant transitions between light and dark, love and hate, life and death. Changes, transitions, cravings…How do they affect us, can we steer them and are we prepared for the upcoming, big ones?”

Transexotic’s Tourette’s
Performed by Rosinha Transexotic and Sebastian Nylund.
Experimental sound performance exploring the expanded fields of involuntary movements and vocalizations from the Postcolonial to Postcoloniality.

The Pre Midsummer Dance – a.k.a Klassdans!
Karin Bäckström – [krig]
 

Experiment in weaving by dancing, but also a celebration of the two years our class have known each other. Inspired by European ribbon dances the Textile in the Expanded Field class will gather at 2 pm to figure out how this is going to sound and work. For the last dance around 4 pm everyone is welcome to join us!
