[spectre] OPEN CALL: SportCamp 2017 (for Commoning and Co-creation) at Timelab, Ghent

[Zeljko Blace]

*Another SPORT is possible?!.**

These are extraordinary times. Times of reinvention and mobilization. We
have to reinvent systems, time and pastime, mobilize bodies, communities
and structures. For decades, our sport systems have leaned towards
alienating industrialization and will not be fixed/updated on their own,
without our joint action. In the ecology of tiny systems, the micro-worlds
of exceptions, by branching out, multiplying, showing diversity and
resilience there is a place for solidarity and serendipity on a bigger
scale.What is the future for bodily social experience? Can personal
development and growth, Do-it-Yourself/with-Others cultures be the starting
points of a new way to self-organize athletes and sport systems? Can a
multitude of minorities combine into a non-normative driving force? What
are your ideas, concepts, visions, prototypes or models for the commoning
and co-creation of sport?___
*paraphrasing “Another world is possible”




*OPEN CALL: SportCamp 2017(for 4-10 days around December 1st,at Timelab,
Kogelstraat 34, 9000 Ghent, Belgium)*



*WHY: What can be the role of the artist-activist/athlete in the field of
sport? Can art/an artwork be a prototype for a different practice/system of
sport? Can artists provide visions, tool boxes and methods for new
directions and transitory developments? What happens when we bring the two
most prominent non-essential parts of society - contemporary art and sport
- together again? How are today’s sports different to the ancient times
when specializations and distinctions were less industrialized? If the
artist is an athlete or the athlete is an artist, what does that bring to
the field of sport or how does it change their relation?- The artists can
provide visions, imagine tools and methods for a new perspective on the
world and maybe new practices/roles/relations sport can fill? What can
sport bring to the art field? A sense of team-spirit, camaraderie and
belonging? Visibility and affective directness for the masses?- SportCamp
aims to be a place for cross-pollination, transgressing encounters and
exchange, linked to a social theme, and it is a follow up to Timelab
Springcamp 2013 and collaboration with Z. Blace, which now includes
collaboration with ccSPORT and other partners.WHAT: Timelab’s SportCamp
