Die helfende Welt
The atmosphere of the performance practice of the apartment Miryam van Doren will be our teacher, accompanied by the duration and friendship between philosophy and art. The apartment Miryam van Doren is a walk-in sketchbook created in the real apartment of an imaginary person in 1999, and looked after and cared for by a collaboration of contingency, context, concept, confectionary and concert.
If duration is the space of time, then events can be thought of as plastic material. And events shape and deform. They bring themselves into connection. Can be told, filmed, dreamed, written, exhibited, represented, imitated, practiced and choreographed.
Motto: For a coming community… on a journey of discovery with the wonderful, even.
Questioning the separation. Between improvisation and composition. Between teaching and learning. Also, the separation between studio, museum, rehearsal space and apartment. Bringing a kind of magic into play. Like writing. Magic and happiness. A transformation that comes from outside. Love. Something uncontrollable. Allowing for randomness. Collaging and assembling diverse material and immaterial MATERIAL. Making visible a multi-layered growth of relationships. Working with the duration of a work. Work and tool at the same time. Art as a responsible experiment with effective philosophical substance. Becoming a philosophical craftswoman. Dedicating oneself to the reconstruction of a utopian childhood. What is it? The invisible childhood as life.
