Visited palvelus – ritual<\/a>\u00a0event\u00a0last night at TeaK by invitation of Matilda Aaltonen. The event\u00a0was three hours long and required intensive physical engagement. The group had designed a contemporary faux-ritual which was rooted in\u00a0existing ceremonies exercised\u00a0by\u00a0various religious and\u00a0other spiritual orders. The group had attended some\u00a0ceremonies during the rehearsal phase and their show\u00a0was framed\u00a0as an open-source\/mishmash ritual, built from\u00a0elements copied\u00a0from exiting\u00a0ceremonies. This approach, the costumes we were\u00a0invited to wear and pompostrous choreographies we were thrown into, felt kitschy. The kitchiness helped me to immerse in the experience! During the event we danced to\u00a0techno in a space hut and exercised meditation\/yoga breathing techniques. The event ended with a communally prepared supper.<\/p>\n

The artwork\u00a0was a protest against\u00a0recent political efforts which seek\u00a0to turn art into\u00a0a social service or a tool for social wellbeing. In such\u00a0plans the\u00a0primary intent of art is\u00a0to\u00a0ease work related stress and build\u00a0motivation. “Palvelus-ritual”\u00a0worked very well as a protest! It claimed that if art is politically forced to serve\u00a0the\u00a0wellness in the public, a\u00a0natural result of this process is that it\u00a0becomes a faux-spiritual holistic\u00a0ritual. In this\u00a0future KELA (the social insurance institution offices) would\u00a0have shamans as consultants and guests would\u00a0have to perform spiritual dances to receive welfare\u00a0benefits.<\/p>\n

I’m preparing a 20 min speech for Hollo-institutes<\/a> spring seminar on utopian-art-education by invitation of Maaretta Riionheimo (Whom I met\u00a0through KOM-theater Vuosaari project). I’m working\u00a0on a\u00a0manifest on speculative new-material pedagogy and pushing animals to the mix too:\u00a0Adjunct Professor The Awaited Son is in the game<\/a>! I’ll be on stage in\u00a0Gloria before\u00a0professor\u00a0Eeva Anttila (TeaK) and emeritus professor Kari Uusikyl\u00e4. A tough mix to crack with mere artistic merits. I’ll work the crowd with pictures of horses, it never fails.<\/p>\n

Concerning teaching..\u00a0I’ve been working actively with a group of five graduating students from the Kankaanp\u00e4\u00e4 Art School. I’ve been in periodic contact<\/a> with them from early autumn onwards. Meetings have been organised\u00a0on skype and in Helsinki. The group is very hard to reach via email and I don’t know\u00a0how their plans are working out. Art\u00a0students don’t know how to use email (also offered them the opportunity to look me up on snapchat, whatsapp and skype etc. but they remain distant).<\/p>\n

Currently preparing to meet Otto Karvonen concerning a Vuosaari related art effort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
