The New Alphabet School is an experimental model of collective study that
explores situated forms of knowledge, with stops in New Delhi, Athens, Porto, Rafah, Dakar, Warsaw, and Berlin. Each gathering is dedicated to a practice—and thus a form of knowledge production—Unlearning, Translating, Situating, Coding, Caring, Healing, Instituting, Survivance, Transmitting, Community-Building, Feralizing, and Commoning. This book presents contributions that emerged from these gatherings, while also providing an overview of current methods of practice-based research in the arts, activism, and collective research.
Das Buch verhandelt Werturteile über Kunst und Arbeit, die eine inflationäre Verbreitung gefunden haben. Anstatt einen Exodus vorzuschlagen, versuchen die Beiträge die Begriffe über abweichende Bedeutungsebenen im Diskurs zu halten – dilettantisch, emotional, genial, kreativ, kritisch, performativ, professionell und virtuos. Das Glossar bildet so ein Begriffsregister der Debatte über künstlerische und Erwerbsarbeit, die mit nahezu denselben inflationär verwendeten Adjektiven geführt wird.
Begleitbuch zur Ausstellung "Die Irregulären - Ökonomien des Abweichens" (nGbK, Berlin 2013).
