John Huntington: Den Nye Skole

På rampen ved biblioteket finder du nogle store plancher. De beskriver forskellige steder, personer og ting. Der er instruktioner og spørgsmål på hver planche. Nogle af dem sender jer rundt på en udforskning af huset og omgivelserne på DOKK1, før I kan udfylde skemaerne med tegninger, malerier og skrift. 

Her samles de mange svar og spørgsmål til en stor model for en ny skole, der hele tiden er under forhandling. Til sidst danner alle plancherne tilsammen et stort kort over Den Nye Skole, som dit bidrag er en vigtig del af. 

John Huntington er til stede på udvalgte tidspunkter under festivalen og hjælper jer gerne i gang. Så kom forbi og vær med til at skabe Den Nye Skole!

Med udgangspunkt i kontoret og arbejdet som socialt, kulturelt og kropsligt fænomen, undersøger han de strukturer og institutioner, der former vores hverdag.

Alder: Fra 6 år.

English

Art Experience: The New School is an unusual institution that we build together. Here, learning happens in entirely new ways. The New School has no limits—it can contain anything. Who works at the new school? What do the classrooms look like? What subjects are taught, and what books are on the shelves? That's up to you!

On the ramp in the library, you'll find a series of large panels describing different places, people, and objects. Each panel contains instructions and questions. Some will send you on an exploration of DOKK1 and its surroundings before you return to complete the panels with drawings, paintings, and writing.

Together, the many responses and questions become a large-scale model of a new school that is constantly evolving through collective negotiation. In the end, all the panels come together to form a map of The New School—and your contribution is an important part of it.

John Huntington will be present every day (in specific timeslots) throughout the festival to help you get started. Drop by and help create The New School!
