Part One: 11.00 – 14.30
The Manifesta Score. A Session of Co-Authorship
A score is a script. A script is a suggestion. Its interpretation is up to whoever reads with it. The score as a framework provides for the creation of an atmosphere, a multitude of voices that come into a void of noises. You are invited to an evening of co-authorship, exploring Manifesta 8 as an exhibition and exposition under the conditions of collaboration, co-operation and collectivisation – conditions that persistently frame the way we encounter, produce and share our perspectives on contemporary artistic production.
Part Two: 16.00 – 19.00
Is the Whole less than the Sum of its Parts? A Session on Collective Intelligence
Following on from the idea of a score as a composition of voices this second part of the salon poses the question if communication and dialogue in its multiplicity as well as multitudinousness can actually create a notion of collectivity? Can the common assumption of ‘The Whole being more than the Sum of its Parts’ be challenged?
