In the Small Projects for Coming Communities we try to create supra-regional connections and deal with the question of how and where forms of communities can be opened up in unpredictable ways. We are interested in the ephemeral structures and transversal frameworks of communities, in their ever-changing desires. And we also reflect on the boundaries of these fragile formations.
The first exhibition of the Small Project for Coming Communities shows works, scores and results of three previous workshops, which were based on an intensive exchange on community issues. The workshops took place with the participation of artists Jeanne van Heeswijk, Discoteca Flaming Star, Bill Dietz, Florian Model, Sabrina Karl, Eva Dörr and Anike Joyce Sadiq and students of the postgraduate program CAS/MAS Curating of the Zurich University of the Arts and students of fine arts of the Zurich University of the Arts. The scores (instructions for action) developed in the workshops and beyond not only focus on major changes, but also on small, humorous, serious, political, social, interpersonal perspectives and insights. The scores collected here can be seen for the first time in the exhibition in Stuttgart. Visitors to the exhibition are invited to realize the scores for themselves, either individually for themselves or together. The visitors also have the opportunity to share their experiences by uploading their realized results on a specially designed website or by filling out postcards on site.
