AA Camp - Talk and workshop 01

Del contexto a la situación: Micropolíticas y Acciones Adaptativas


Por Marie-Pier Boucher
Presentación : Viernes 12 de Febrero 2010 19hrs

Taller Abstracto : Jueves 18 de Febrero - 19hrs
Lugar: Camp Adaptive Actions, Estación Atocha, Planta 2

Desde 2007, Adaptive Actions (AA) se ha centrado en generar un depósito online de intervenciones urbanas. AA pone en funcionamiento varias plataformas para propiciar el pensamiento en torno a los cambios en el espacio urbano, invitando a la participación activa de actores externos. AA se sitúa así en el contexto de los estudios `performance` de finales de los años 30 y principios de los 60. Esta resonancia histórica dará pie al debate con Brian Massumi y Jean François Prost acerca de la noción de
adaptación. Se presentarán varias acciones pertenecientes al deposito online de AA en la medida en que se enfrentan a situaciones basadas en oposiciones a escala binaria (macro/micro, local/global, minoría/mayoría, etc) con objeto de demostrar que estas oposiciones pueden operar en un nivel micro político, basándose en la situación en vez de en el contexto. Se establecerá un foro de discusión para explorar el poder adaptador de las acciones y ver en qué manera lográn adaptarse a una situación y resistir creativamente.

From Context to Situation: Micropolitics and Adaptive Actions

By Marie-Pier Boucher
Talk: Friday February 18th  - 7pm

Workshop: Thursday February 18th  - 7pm
Place: Adaptive Actions camp, Atocha station, floor two

Since 2007, Adaptive Actions (AA) has been actively creating/generating an online reservoir of urban interventions. In the form of an open invitation AA opens various platforms for thinking and generating change in the urban environment. By looking at several artistic interventions from the late 30's to the early 60's, AA will be first situated in the context of performance studies. These historical resonances will be followed by the presentation of a discussion with Brian Massumi and Jean-Francois Prost in context of which the notion of adaptation has been questioned on the level of its operational form: a form that resists to the traditional idea of an adaptation TO a situation and that rather activates processes of adaptations and de-adaptations of the situation. This way of understanding adaptation raised issues surrounding the possibilities for an adaptive action to perform a creative resistance whilst dealing with situations based on scale binary oppositions such as micro and macro, local and global, minority and majority, etc. Through presenting a number of actions from AA's reservoir I will emphasize the ways in which these quantitative oppositions can operate on a micropolitical level by  transforming the binary oppositions into qualitative situations, by staging situation-based actions (as opposed to context-based ones).
