TEMPORARY PAVILION FOR PERMANENT NEGOTIATIONS AND PEOPLE IN WHITE @ AMSTERDAMSE BOS 4 JUNE – 16 JULY, 2017

One needs creativity in dealing with conflicts. Welcome to explore that at
TEMPORARY PAVILION FOR PERMANENT NEGOTIATIONS at Cure Park / Amsterdamse Bos, Amsterdam 4 June – 16 July.

Kalleinen & Kochta-Kalleinen created a space for playing with conflicts. They called on people to tell a story about a conflict: at work, in a relationship, in the neighborhood or on a world scale. The collected conflicts have one thing in common: they were (ultimately) resolved. What happened, and how did the situation transform? These conflicts and their resolutions will be retold by a facilitator Chantal van Doesburgh every Saturday and Sunday 4 pm (except June 17 and 18).  See the full schedule here The work is produced by TAAK and supported by FRAME Finland.

PEOPLE IN WHITE, a film that explores the relationship between doctor and patient in mental health care from the point of view of 10 patients, is screened 5 June 6pm at Care Centre of Cure Park / Amsterdamse Bos. In the film a central artistic device is re-enactment of key moments in the therapeutic process in which former patients play themselves as well as their doctors. Memories vary from beautiful, healing moments to the horrors of isolation and abuse.

101 FOR ALL @ LAPPEENRANTA & SEINÄJOKI, FINLAND

DSC02437

101 For All at Lappeenranta art museum 3 June – 30 July 2017, and Seinäjoki Art Hall 18 November 2017 – 4 March 2018.

Imagine a Finland of 100 inhabitants. 51 of them would be women, 13 would be over 70 years old, one would be from Asia and one would hold a Ph.D.

101 For All offers a glimpse behind the statistics. Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen visited one hundred homes around Finland and interviewed people about their personal relationship with 30 topics of discussion that tend to divide opinions. The 100 interviewees form a cross-section of the Finnish population in terms of gender, age, region, education, level of income, country of origin and mother tongue.

Why do we think like we think? The interviewees try to pinpoint experiences and influences that play a role on how their opinions are shaped.

A question that arises is that of representation: can one individual or small group of people ever represent “everyone”? What about the ones left in the margins? The exhibition is based on encounters and reveals how people’s opinions are much more complex, rich and contradictory than what statistics have us believe.

The exhibition challenges to pursue one of the most radical acts of our time, listening to others without prejudice.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR SUCCESSFULLY RESOLVED CONFLICTS!

 

sandbox_image_low

We are looking for your stories about conflicts that were amicably settled. They can be stories from your own life, from your workplace, neighbourhood or town. They might be also about conflicts on a global scale. Either you were directly involved, tried to settle the conflict as a third party or just learned about it without being involved. What happened and how was the situation resolved?

A selection of the stories will be re-told for audience within our new project Permanent Negotiations as part of the Cure Park project at Amsterdamse Bos.

How to proceed
In this point it is enough you write us a short description of the conflict and the process of resolving it. We will ask you for more information if needed. Anonymity is guaranteed for those that wish to remain anonymous. Specific names of people or organisations involved in the conflict can be omitted. You can send the conflicts during May and June 2017 to kochta@nexgo.de

This project is part of Cure Park June 4 through July 16, 2017 – a big outdoor event organised by TAAK this summer.
