Working From Home<\/u><\/strong>
Fri <\/u>4 Dec 2020, 12- 6 PM  <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The omnipresence of homeworking<\/em> has become one of the key features of life in recent months as a consequence of the pandemic. Artists work in makeshift studio spaces at home whilst cooking the tea, caring for family or being confined to a bedroom where they eat, sleep, socialise and ostensibly work \u2013 in this context questions of the studio space and practices needs to be reviewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of this Dirty Practice event we continue to focus on close interconnections between practices, art education and space.  We wish to ask to what extend the new situation impacts on opportunities to build communities, give a sense of belonging and allows for the appearance of digital \u2018messy spaces\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Context:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The focus towards the \u2018home\u2019 as new centre of production under confinement, transformed the domestic interior into  a \u2018center (sic) of the economy of tele-consumption and tele-production.\u2019[1]<\/sup><\/a>  The working situation from home result in a  drastic breach of traditional structures of production and the separation of  private and intuitional spaces.  Paul B. Preciado states that during the pandemic  \u2018we are no longer regulated solely by their passage through disciplinary institutions (school, factory, barracks, hospital, etc.)[\u2026]\u2019[2]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of the current pandemic, galleries and art institutions  \u2018secretly rejoice\u2019 under the use of online viewing spaces and the fact that  \u2018spaces are sanitized beyond the wildest dreams of any white cube\u2019 [3]<\/sup><\/a> Universities have been quick to take up online learning with the often repeated notion \u2013 that after all this is over we will maintain some of the online practices learnt. As art schools we have to both warn against this extradition of practice from the institution whilst we begin to understand what \u2018blended making\u2019 might be and how practice skills and experiential learning can be delivered in this environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Dirty Practice actively encourages a revision of practices and understanding of \u2018messy spaces\u2019, the omnipresence of homeworking,<\/em> as one of the key features in recent months, changes also the interaction with students in zoom tutorials. Seeing the washing or family photographs in the background during Zoom tutorials, breaches significantly  the isolation of the art school, often  described as somehow as a \u2018zone of exception\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
