Learning
A School is any form of organised gathering where we learn and create mutually a place for recognising undervalued knowledge and sharing knowledge. Our “classrooms” can take many different forms, they can be informal and formal, on a field or around a table with food and drinks, they focus on localised knowledge and make trans-local connections.
The work does not proceed systematically, but is instead an open-ended and searching process. We go into the unclear parts, the dilemma’s, we are incomplete and can be disorderly. It is not relevant how we want to look like, when we want to stretch the spaces for a connected rural and urban culture. It is timely and urgent for rural culture to reclaim a role in the urban gaze that is dominant in the (institutional) culture and we want to contribute to the building of a collective future, with an interdependent rural and urban. The city of the future will benefit from other forms of knowledge, which will engender a revised set of values and alternative ways of seeing.
Placeholder text: En-plein-air started as a deep connection to the daily environment - it is a method to capture the rural and/or urban landscape where the painter directly captures the environment on the spot. This method makes the painter see and paint the current moment, colour, light, atmosphere, and movements. Moreover, by highlighting emotional and sensory dimensions of a particular landscape, spontaneity and truth to a momentum and impulse play important roles. Like deep listening, this method creates a deeper connection to its social, as well as environmental surroundings.
