Atelier
deufert&plischke: A Worn World - OPEN ATELIER

ANTI - Contemporary Art Festival

24.-29.10.2020
Kauppakeskus Minna

“A Worn World” invites people of any age, origin, gender and ability to take part in open workshops and atelier – to share stories of clothes, shame, memories and fears, to exchange experiences and hand-on-practices. Clothes can produce memories and emotions like fear, shame and sometimes simply pleasure. They have a distinct relation to the self: they carry spores of desire, appear in phantasies, remind us their former wearers, and mark social relation. In wearing clothes the personal and imaginary meets the symbolic and the social. At this year’s ANTI Festival the artistwin deufert&plischke starts out a new participatory art project in Kuopio. They have started the work with the local students of Savonia University and open the process to all audiences in Kuopio during the festival.
 
You are invited to knit, sew and test different articles of clothing/objects/materials, discuss somatic experiences, dance, move – to transform. Working will happen in teams but there is always a space to plunge into individual universes. Each collaborator will hold a place in the artwork. Each process is documented and shared in mutually agreed forms.
