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?___<br>*paraphrasing “Another world is possible”</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em;color:rgb(48,19,19);font-size:14.994px"><strong><br>OPEN CALL: SportCamp 2017<br>(for 4-10 days around December 1st,<br>at Timelab, Kogelstraat 34, 9000 Ghent, Belgium)</strong></p><strong style="color:rgb(48,19,19);font-size:14.994px"><p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em">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?<br>- 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?<br>- 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.</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em">WHAT: Timelab’s SportCamp 2017 invites you to draw up concepts, exchange and develop ideas with other thinkers and doers in a group of about 10 participants and a few invited guests over several days.</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em">HOW: E-mail <a href="mailto:SportCamp@timelab.org" style="background-color:transparent;text-decoration-line:none;border-bottom:1px dotted;color:rgb(157,64,64)" target="_blank">SportCamp@timelab.org</a> <wbr>with a short bio, background info and motivation (max. one A4 of font size 11 + max. 2 media files) before 18th of October 2017.
