A huge THANK YOU!! to all 56 students/young artists, all the artistic coaches and lecturers, deSingel and Antwerp Conservatory direction, administration, production and technical crew and a special thanks to our colleagues Pauline and Istvan for this wonderful LAbO#5 edition by ChampdAction in deSingel.
We'll be back with our next LAbO project in deSingel in 2017! For now you can enjoy the films made during the concert yesterday evening. See you all soon! ChampdAction Third day in LAbO#5 by ChampdAction in deSingel ended with an extremely inspiring lecture/workshop by avant-garde guitarlegend Fred Frith. He was so enthusiast about the LAbO project as such that he has offered to be one of the main coaches in our next LAbO edition in 2017! Tomorrow evening all the LAbO participants and coaches will be attending his concert with the fantastic guitar quartet ZWERM in deSingel. Looking forward to that and good luck for them tonight at Handelsbeurs in Ghent and Saturday in Den Bosch in November Music.  http://www.dewereldmorgen.be/artikel/2015/11/03/de-activistische-verbeelding-interview-met-lieven-de-cauter Theses on Art and Activism by Lieven De Cauter 1 There is only one real form of activism and it is political activism. Action is a deed in the public sphere, the space of appearance. Therefore, political activism is the only real form of activism. Artistic activism is almost never real, for it is not action but ‘acting’, a play in the cultural sphere, the sphere of the mimetic and the performative. 2 Art and culture (also the cultic: ritual and play, religion and sports) constitute a sphere outside (besides, in between) the private sphere (economy) and the public sphere (the political). It is the sphere of the common and of otherness: the common uncommon. 3 Imagination is rich, ambiguous, amoral - action is moral, straightforward, poor (in imagination). Therefore: good committed art is rare and problematic, committed artists are common and necessary (as alert citizens). The political has an aim; art is aim in itself. But. The rare moments the imagination of art and activism truly mate, are to be cherished as the locus of an activist imagination. |
