CAPP Cartographies is a visual footprint of the primary four year CAPP research journey that artist Susanne Bosch undertook. As the embedded researcher within the network, she applied, in line with the collaborative intention of the programme, a dialogical methodology to capture, gain and gather knowledge and insights not about, but with the key stakeholder groups and individuals involved. Dialogical, relational practice corresponds with presence and direct exchange, which CAPP Cartographies intends to mirror.

The LAB is pleased to present the group exhibition I Slept Like A Stone, bringing together significant past and current Irish collaborative and socially engaged commissions alongside a selection of works from the Collaborative Arts Partnership Programme (CAPP) led by Create.
‘I Slept Like A Stone’ explores the potentials of collaborative and socially engaged practice, how we connect, misunderstand each other, and eventually find new ways of communicating with each other through collective journeys. The exhibition looks at microcosms of shared stories to consider alternative ways of behaving and misbehaving in the global political context. The very essence of a European funded project seeks to find ways of discovering our shared Europeanness and promoting understanding, and as such, it takes the form of a collaborative undertaking.
The works relate to one another in their shared questioning of how we support the development of artists’ practice, how we connect to each other through making and building, how audiences become authors or participants and how the arts support the urgent enquiries of our time. The exhibition features works by HEED FM, Hablarente, Fiona Reilly, Rhona Byrne, Yvonne McGuinness, Mark Clare, Gareth Kennedy, Clodagh Emoe, Christine Mackey, Michael McLoughlin, Helen Barry, Seoidín O’Sullivan, Seamus Nolan, Christopher Kline, Susanne Bosch, Sibylle Peters, Tibor Gyenis, Mark Storor, Jakob & Manila Bartnik and Antje Schiffers.

In April, Engaging Places: Collaborative Praxis in Art and Architecture showcased six leading Irish practitioners in Tate Liverpool as part of the fifth CAPP Staging Post, supported by Culture Ireland’s GB18: Promoting Irish Arts in Britain programme. This showcase and associated events sought to explore the potential of collaborative art and architectural initiatives to address questions of spatial justice and promote creative and collaborative responses to the built environment. Create, with the Irish Architecture Foundation (IAF), presents an iteration of this project for Irish audiences in an exhibition of video, visual & textual pieces by the six practitioners; artist Michelle Browne, curators Rosie Lynch and Éilis Lavelle from Callan Workhouse Union, artist-architect Blaithin Quinn, and architects Emmett Scanlon and Laurence Lord from Out.Post.Office at University College Dublin (UCD).

Led by Christel Schulte, Come Along is an invitation to concentrate, to feel present, to become aware of yourselves and maybe others, simply by doing something familiar – through walking.
The instructions are to walk on your own, in silence, to walk as slowly as possible, find your own rhythm and activate all of your five senses; it’s all about smelling, watching, feeling, hearing, tasting. Identify which sense feels best today. We will start at 09:05 outside the entrance of 2 Curved Street. The piece is completed once you arrive to the entrance of the IFI or at 09:30 if you have not arrived by then. Latecomers are welcome to join us.

Jeanne van Heeswijk is an artist who facilitates the creation of dynamic and diversified public spaces in order to “radicalize the local.” Her long-term community-embedded projects question art’s autonomy by combining performative actions, discussions, and other forms of organising and pedagogy in order to assist communities to take control of their own futures. Drawing on two major projects Freehouse: Radicalising the Local in Rotterdam (2008 – ongoing), and the more recent Philadelphia Assembled (2015-2017 and ongoing), Jeanne will explore key questions relating to power and practice from the artist’s perspective.

Over the last four years, Susanne Bosch, CAPP Artist Researcher, gathered about 200 hours of audio recordings from the CAPP network meetings, events, dialogues, conversations and exchanges. She captured countless moments attempting to verbally de-construct and newly construct this field of interconnectedness through collaborative arts. A sound piece has been developed in collaboration with composer, musician and producer Seán Mac Erlaine that captures the polyphonic nature of this practice and the, multi-layered, complex web of CAPP conversations.

Lines between artist and audience are blurred, creating a unique experience of space, place and of experimental work. (Note: this event has a €10 charge to be paid in cash, capacity is very limited and subject to availability; exact address will be advised after registration)
Heavy Metal Detector devised by Steve Maher offers you the chance to listen to underground music, literally and figuratively. It is a format for urban walks and a novel distribution platform for music, where a set of metal detectors are programmed to play heavy metal music when detecting metal in the ground. Using the detectors, the participants on this walkabout will uncover hidden sounds of the city, experiencing local sites in a new way. The playlist for the walks is contributed by local heavy metal bands. The Walkabout lasts 5-10 minutes, 3 attendees can take part at a time. Drop-in welcome, sign-up at the door.

I like being a farmer and I would like to stay one is an ongoing, long-term artistic project initiated by Antje Schiffers in 2000. Schiffers offered a barter trade to farmers: a painting that she would make of their farmstead, in exchange for a film that the farmers would shoot about how they live and work. The collaboration focused especially on rural change, the socio-political, economic, and cultural transformation that the Hungarian countryside has undergone in the past 25-30 years. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the curator & collaborator Katalin Erdödi and Andrea Simon, Head of International Relations at Ludwig Museum Budapest.

In the context of ever-greater programming of collaborative and socially engaged arts practice by major arts institutions this roundtable explores the challenges and rewards for the institution, as well as artists and communities engaged in this context. Questions of negotiation and authorship abound in these inter-organisational and institutional constellations. What responsibilities does the institution have to a collaborative network which has emerged directly out of a commissioning or project initiative? What are the challenges for, and ways through these durational and often complex collaborations?

The workshop will begin with a performative lecture where artist Ruppe Koselleck – with up to 30 participating artists – will build an exhibition of art pieces based in magnetic material. Ruppe proposes Magnetic Translocations as strategic interventions in public and private space. Magnetic translocations overcome site-specific limitations by means of entertaining and iron-containing temporary adhesions – they extend upon the curatorial ideal: “the exhibition always starts exactly where I am.” Everybody who takes part in this joint curatorial excess will receive a reward; the participation in an international exhibition! Ruppe Koselleck will take the art pieces with him and curate shows in Germany (Ahlen, Berlin, Münster, and Osnabrück) and in Mexico City during 2018.

Pier Luigi Sacco works and consults internationally in the field of culture-led local development, and speaks widely on cultural policy. In this keynote, he will consider policy at a European level in the context of the growing field of collaborative and socially engaged arts practice. How can this field of practice – which is much preoccupied with issues of equality and social justice – permeate wider institutional contexts in order to influence policy?

This panel will examine the political potential of collaborative and socially engaged art practices at cultural, societal, policy, and grassroots levels. Panelists will look at where the power and agency lies in the relationship with project participants and with institutions that often fund and host this work. Some of the challenges of collaborative practices are around about ethical questions of agency, ownership and authorship amongst participants, and around hierarchies of form, and how different models and art forms fit into an institutional understanding of what art can be, who it can be for, and what it can do.
Panelists: Mary Paterson, Writer and Producer // Chrissie Tiller, Writer and Educator // Herman Bashiron Mendolicchio, Researcher and Curator // Glenn Loughran, artist // Moderator: Lois Keidan, Co Director, Live Art Development Agency (LADA)

As our world becomes used to the vista of a future that is technologically driven, the Artist must also decide the part that the new tools of Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence platforms play in their practice. The challenges are technical, ethical and structural: what are the parameters of authorship and originality, the uses of image and where the lines of truth and reality cross are among the questions artists must ask themselves in terms of what they do and how they do it. An examination of these and other questions, looking at what organisations like Fire Station Artists’ Studios and m-cult are exploring and where materials and technology meet. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own device for this discursive workshop.
