    Thursday December 18, 2009 at 7:30pm: 12 Gestures / first guest: Harrell Fletcher
    A sem­inar pro­posed by Bétonsalon and Kadist Art Foundation, for The Public School.
    This sem­inar is the result of a col­lab­o­ra­tion between the Public school, which opened at Bétonsalon in September 2009 and a pro­ject ini­ti­ated by Kadist Art Foundation’s phi­lan­thropic and artistic branches bringing together an artist and an NGO.
    Conceived as a series of inter­ven­tions pro­grammed over one year, this sem­inar focuses on artistic prac­tices that ques­tion the social sphere through the acquain­tance of a com­mu­nity in a specific geo­graph­ical, polit­ical and social con­text.
    The course will pre­sent expe­ri­ences which keep ques­tioning the role of the artist, curator or art centre out­side of exhi­bi­tion making, when the dis­tance between artist and cit­izen tends to erase.
    We would rather use the term ‘ges­ture’ than ‘action’ since these pro­jects are often modest and very local; their goal might not to change things but simply to raise a cer­tain aware­ness.
    Examining real­ized pro­jects in details, the sem­inar will ques­tion the def­i­ni­tion of so-called ‘social prac­tices’ in the field of art and will under­line words such as ‘activism’, ‘engage­ment’, ‘col­lec­tive’, ‘com­mu­nity’, ‘democ­racy’, ‘dis­sensus’… as well as the pos­sible risks: instru­men­tal­iza­tion and dem­a­gog­ical par­tic­i­pa­tion.
    Interventions will be given in English.

    December 19, 2009, at 5pm : opening of the exhi­bi­tion ’Parties Prenantes: Info Point’
    Parties Prenantes: Info Point is an exhi­bi­tion of infor­ma­tional dis­plays that have been cre­ated to rep­re­sent the inter­ests and knowl­edge of people who are in the ZAC Paris Rive Gauche. These dis­plays are made col­lab­o­ra­tively with people from the neigh­bor­hood and asso­ci­ates of Portland State University MFA Art and Social Practice Concentration. Similar to the format of a science fair or a con­fer­ence poster ses­sion, dis­plays are pro­duced that com­mu­ni­cate the research, inter­ests, and posi­tions of the involved par­ties.
    Art and Social Practice starts and ends not in rar­i­fied spaces, but out in the world, although there are inter­sec­tions with stu­dios/gal­leries when nec­es­sary or appro­priate. This way of working is not restricted to any medium, but instead uses var­ious forms, methods, and approaches as the sit­u­a­tion dic­tates. Sometimes Art Social Practice might look more like soci­ology, anthro­pology, social work, jour­nalism, or envi­ron­men­talism than art, yet it retains the inten­tion of cre­ating sig­nif­i­cance and appre­ci­a­tion between the audi­ence and artists.
    Associates of Portland State University MFA Art and Social Practice Concentration include: Jennifer Delos Reyes, Harrell Fletcher, Ariana Jacob, Sandy Sampson, Lexa Walsh, Jason Zimmerman, Avalon Kalin, Cyrus Smith and Katherine Ball with Sarah Roach and Alec Neal.
