CØDEshop

Three days of staking shelves for the new economies emerging from collaborative practices in art, digital culture and local politics.

Day 1: Curatorial Processes
_ is it a time for an alternative structure of exchange?
_ who are the protagonists in the performance of cultural production?
_ how does software change our relationship to memory?

Day 2: -O-b-j-e-c-t- contemporary art practice
_ how do you want your project, artwork, be remembered?
_ can software liberate you from the white cube?
_ what gets lost between the formal structures of established practices?

Day 3: Documents of critical engagement
_ What minor repairs can CøDEshop offer to dinted ideological structures?
_ How is an archive active?
_ what critical restrictions and contradictions does software impose?

CØDEshop is a site of storing and exchanging ideas and fashioning specific (cultural artistic critical) tools. The machinery of a workshop is transformed metaphorically into a gathering of information, dialogues, discussions, and virtual/actual actions. In this context stacking shelves is not so banal, instead it reveals a potentially exciting territory for processing singular and critical events within the economic systems, structures of power, labour and circulation; _ what is the new deal? _ if we propose new economies how can they be different?

Over three days, (May 8-10), CØDEshop will address current debates on contemporary practice, and help to develop a critical framework around the Liquid software development project.
