The City

A one-day event about The City; More than half of the world's population lives in cities. And the number of people continues to grow. In 2016, ArtEZ Studium Generale invited various guests to reflect on the desire to improve urban safety, but to what extent does creativity play a role in this?

Lecture: Ruben Jacobs on ‘The ‘common’ city

Lecture by sociologist and writer Ruben Jacobs at ArtEZ studium generale program ‘U staat hier’ (You are here) on 10 November 2016 in Zwolle. Where in the city can we still encounter other people? Where do we find and celebrate communality?  Where can the homo duplex turn to in the city, now and in the future? And what role does art play in this?

Lecture: Jennifer Miller on 20 years Circus Amok in NYC

In this talk its founder Jennifer Miller will look at the specific approaches that Circus Amok uses to create a theatrical language that speaks to wildly diverse audiences across the city. You’ll look at how they choose their theme, use of audience plants, playing with scale, publics and counter publics, negotiating the weather and notions of queering public space. The ring master is a women with the beard, the lions are training the trainer, and the acrobats are discussing police brutality.

Lecture: Anthony Heidweiller

Lecture at ArtEZ Studium Generale program ‘ U staat hier’ (You are here), on 10 November 2016 in Zwolle, The Netherlands.

In times of crisis everything becomes fluid, firmly entrenched practices start to drift and chances arise to do things differently. That kind of time has now arrived, in the world and consequently in the city as well.

Performance: Circulation by Wermke/Leinkauf

Visual artist Matthias Wermke (1978) and filmmaker Mischa Leinkauf (1977) grew up in Berlin in the 1990s, when they learned to value and exploit the city’s possibilities. Doing a handstand on a church tower, driving across Berlin’s metro network in a home-made cart, climbing a skyscraper in Tokyo: the actions undertaken in their multimedia video installations are often illegal and almost invariably physically dangerous. It could be described as situationism meets Jackass. One of them performs the act, the other one records it on camera – unannounced and without spectators. They are in search of the city dweller’s possibilities for play in the overregulated city.

Wermke & Leinkauf taught the workshop ‘Play Time’ at U staat hier on 10 November 2016. The workshop result is the video Circulation.

Talkshow: Lotte van den Berg over Het parlement van de dingen

Theatermaker Lotte van den Berg gaf de workshop Het parlement van de dingen bij ‘U staat hier’ op 10 november 2016. In Parlement der dingen onderzoekt Van den Berg of het mogelijk is voor mensen om namens de dieren en de dingen om ons heen te praten en beslissingen te nemen. En als dat zo is, wat betekent dat dan voor onze verhouding tot de stad?  Interview door Patty Pontier.

blog Irene Edzes – 07 jun. 2021

Is de openbare ruimte wel van ons allemaal?

“Voor wie is de stad?” en “Van wie is de stad” zijn vragen die nauw met elkaar samenhangen. De antwoorden op deze vragen bepalen de sfeer en het karakter van een stad. Met de inrichting van straten en pleinen wordt de toon gezet, maar net zo bepalend is hoe we ons tot dit openbare domein verhouden. In 2021 schreef architect en programmamaker Irene Edzes deze blog als onderdeel van LAND waarin we de relatie onderzochten tussen land, eigenaarschap en klimaatafbraak.
