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.

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.
