Uncommon
Common (Re) Projected is a two days forum conceptualized by Jenny
Marketou,
interdisciplinary artist based in New York City for the 4th Biennial
of Athens, AGORA. Using the process of inquiry and research “Uncommon
Common (Re) Projected” invites autonomous groups, self organized
collectives and individuals from Athens to come together at the AGORA
on October 15-16, 2013 to join via skype self organized groups and
individuals in New York, Palestine and New Delhi.
The
goal of the two days forum is the creation of a common time/space to
explore the interfaces of art, activism, and social research as well
as creating in common a platform of sharing, thought, inquiry and
discussions mental and conceptual which can inspire and translate
into practices of commoning. Further on this forum will involve
discussions which have a starting point the current economic
transformations such as labor, social debt, dept resistance,
morality, education and neo-liberalism.
The
two days discussions are facilitated and moderated by Jenny Marketou,
(artist) and Elpida Karaba (curator, writer, art critic).
