Cuisiner: cooking workshop (Pratiques Artistiques Fonctionelle)
Cuisiner
We organize a cookery workshop that invites you to cook up “archiving collective (artistic) pratices” by making a meal we’ll share together. By archiving we understand all ways of recording and keeping tracks of our practices. The main question will be divided in three subtopics from your own experiences.
The meal will be vegan and gluten free. The workshop will last 3 hours. Free event for the Globe Aroma community, specifically for those involved in the artistic workplace.

P(A)F – Pratiques (Artistiques) Fonctionnelles
Between mid-November and mid-December, P(A)F – Pratiques (Artistiques) Fonctionnelles joins forces with various organizations and artists for a series of events focusing on the documentation, archiving, dissemination and exhibition of practices that lie at the boundaries of art. Sometimes closer to activism, ecology, craft or the social, these practices act on the context in which they take part, bringing in new narratives and experiments, rather than merely representing them. Aesthetics take a back seat, in favor of a variety of use values. We speak of artistic coefficients rather than artworks, because art is integrated within other functions.
Indeed, the work of art has disappointed, and its monopoly is in decline. Today, many artistic practices are escaping the totalitarian regime of aesthetics. Art on a 1:1 scale, arts and social practices, community art, art in common, functional art, utilitarian art, use-oriented art, impossible art, non-art, critical companies, projects that owe their conditions of existence to art but are not art… There is no shortage of terminologies, expectations and nuances. Artists position themselves as facilitators. In some cases, we entirely escape the art world, as if to seek a breath of fresh air elsewhere.
This raises the question of tracks (traces in french). What do we want to keep, archive, make public and known? Should we show a project that’s not designed for post-modern exhibition conventions, at the risk of decontextualizing it ? How do we represent shared experiences? Is it possible to reinvent the exhibition to encompass multiplicities of practices? We’ll be discussing these questions together around several events.
