making art politically, not political art
How to hack the fundamentally undemocratic structure of the contemporary art world
While creating frameworks to open up new possibilities for new subjectivities
What new skills are needed today to build creative confidence that does not rely primarily on traditional art practices, without necessarily excluding them? How does creative confidence, and an understanding of it, change throught collective, interdisceplenary processes and how would it impact
Becoming a future fine art academy—Questioning and challenging the role of art in a time of multi-crises, increasing polarisation and Artificial Intelligence—To keep fostering a diverse environment and develop new models and understanding of "artists at work"
Art & Economy in Context
Closer ties to migrant communities & value undervalued knowledge-systems >> important for a just climate transition / sustainable way of living

hopscotching alternative routes through unruly, artistic methodologies and research
Primary Objective: Countering monocultures and monopolies through polyphonic struggles, diverse ecosystems and dissonant frictions to build resilient communities (hyper-local and transversal) and to explore bottom-up and just models to produce, work and live otherwise.

FROM WHERE WE START....
Within an eco system of existing research projects
PACESETTERS / Cyanotypes / Marginal Notes
KiT as generator of future artists / alumni & beyond network to reserach and inquire KiT's own history / snowballing / use TV studio as facilitator and tool to connect: TV-show Artists at Work & Galleri KiT series of gatherings / nomadic models / cohesion through assemblage/montage approach / against polarisation // Knitting & Weaving as another cohesion element? // & Radio & Printing (Tynset)
How to organise otherwise?
Critical imagination in relation to organise labour facing environmental/climate crisis // corperative models for a just transition? // ++++
Workpackage 1: decentralised production
The work of research with the research of work /
The question of research with a research for questions

Questions & Hypothesis
Of a community as yet missing. Of art as necessarily open and creatively misunderstood. Of artists who are transforming a community while being transformed by a community that is abstract. Of a complex and interacting relation as yet radically and critically reimagined.
How can we imagine a community as a non-fixed entity, based on the principles of difference rather than similarity?
How does acting from the middle can contribute to ....?
Of a community as yet missing. Of art as necessarily open and creatively misunderstood. Of artists who are transforming a community while being transformed by a community that is abstract (and concrete). Of complex relations as yet radically and critically reimagined.
