Co-LAB08:

Performance, exhibition and residency project by protoPLAY in collaboration with Art Container & Non Grata.

Transforming individuals works into collaborative performances in order to build, from scratch, a collective – or shared – creative space.

Framing process over and above outcome, Co-LAB08 is a custom-made environment to support artistic risk. Co-LAB08 questioned notions of individual authorship, cultural-recycling, and the taboo of plagiarism, encouraging a continual flow of Deconstruction and Reconstruction.

Artists lived and worked together at the Art container residency space and Gallery, Tallinn, Estonia, October 2008

Participating artists: Tanel Saar, Orion Maxted, Beth Greenhalgh, Sam Hasler, Yoko Ishiguro, Dan Jarman, Simon Whetham, Josephine Wood, Bruno Ribiero, Sandra Jogeva, Anonymous Boh, Ernest Truly.

Co-LAB’08 – OPEN CALL (Expired)

Friday, August 29th, 2008

CALL OUT for Group Residency
Estonia, 06 – 12 October, 2008

ProtoPLAY is currently searching musicians, visual artists and live/performance artists to take part in Co-LAB’08, an exciting collaborative residency, taking place in Estonia in October 2008. Based out of Art Container, an art centre run by Estonian collective Non Grata.

Co-LAB’08 focuses on a series of open-ended collaborative projects, and a rapid turnover or creation and public presentation. Questioning the notions of individual authorship, cultural-recycling and the taboo of plagiarism, the project takes individual works as a starting point for collaboration and attempts to build, from scratch, a collective identity – or at least, a shared creative space. Both the premise and the context aim to facilitate artistic risk, as well as time for reflection and conversation.

Co-LAB’08 is for artists who want to be challenged in their collaborative, creative and devising abilities, and wish to explode the boundaries of their individual practice.
