To conclude our cooperation with Progres. Paradigm Shift #5<\/strong><\/em> – Work Academy<\/em><\/strong>, initiated by Arne Hendriks, we will stage and organize a 4-day techno opera event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This live improvisational exercise will bring together the summoned soul of scientific management pioneer, avant-garde writer and poet Aleksei Gastev (1882-1939), the reincarnation of the nutritionist, diabetologist, and rational food promoter Iulian Mincu (1927-2015), the spirit of the former workers from the now abandoned state factories and industries and the ashes of a once imagined Hammer Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From these local remnants of stories, big and small, we sing & sculpt a new vision of man as a musician, as a woman, as a fugitive from impossible ideals and conflict zones, as an artist and refugee, as a future bringer of liberation from our current state of unequal distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be an integral part of our extended counterfactual jam session, not a turning wheel in the machine, but a solid state drive, a choir of average voices, a spoken poetry podium, a rundown cinema at the outskirts of your town showing long forgotten documentaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a place of merging and emerging, of making and repairing, of celebration, of gift-giving, of memory and forgetfulness. A random moment in time and space to liberate us from the man with the hammer inside all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time – The Academy of Work<\/em> coexists with various artistic works, as well as a theater\/sequential art piece by local artists, actors, cartoonists and cultural workers that encourage us to perceive both the difficult past and uncertain future at work all around us.
