*Unravelling Institutional Dynamics - A one day workshop that focus on reflecting and speculating on art institutions, collectives, collections and museums through diagrams.*

In this workshop organized by Luiza Crosman, a group of participants will visit the office of Constant, association for art and media where An Mertens and Femke Snelting will present the organisation, the space and some of its tools. Afterwards, the group will be free to investigate the space, learning about the work that goes into maintaining Constant’s dynamics, their projects, organization and their questions. Participants will discuss and work on expressing thoughts, desires, and ideas by re-imagining the problematics presented through a practice of diagram drawing. The diagrams and drawings created by the group of participants will express how Constant’s operations are perceived; and propose experiences, systems, and movements the group would like to put in place if they were to act on Constant’s dynamics.  

By making use of diagrams and drawings to express the group’s vision of possibilities, the workshop aims to dislocate the common association of discursive language used in institutional critique to a new association between visual language and speculative thinking and structuring of institutions. Drawings made during the workshop will work as collective feedback tool to the receiving art institution, collective, collection or museum. No need for previous drawing or institutional knowledge, everyone is welcome! 

Participation up to 10 people, inscribe at: unravelinstitute@gmail.com
Saturday 5 November 11:00 until 18:00
Constant - Rue du Fortstraat 5, Saint Gilles, Brussels.

*ABOUT THE ORGANIZER:* Luiza Crosman is a Brazilian artist currently undergoing research at a.pass (advanced performance and scenography studies) on the associations between drawing and speculation in participatory events as a way to make these aware of their own conditions of possibility. Since 2014 she is part of the team that runs the art-space casamata, located in Rio de Janeiro, and investigates institutional mediations within the artistic circuit. Both of these strands of work come together to create a possibility of future, considering specific contexts and their conditions to speculate what might happen and, when needed, to act upon it, to change or multiply, it’s possible course.
