<br />
The 1<a href="http://www.ouunpo.com/stockholm/">4th session of the OuUnPo</a>
art festival on the theme the “fugue" has been concluded. A fugue in
psychiatry is a state of dissociation, often with amnesia. A series of
performances and events have investigated the fugue from different
perspectives. Interaction between art and science has been an important
theme. As an observer with a background in science, I have had the
opportunity to reflect on the artworks and discussions during the
session.<br />
<br />
What is it like to have a psychotic episode?
One early change, it seems, is that some sensory stimuli begin to take
on new meaning. Sounds and smells that are usually quite trivial begin
to acquire greater importance. This can be confusing and scary.
Elaborate delusions can follow as patients try to make sense of their
experience. For instance, in order to explain unusual smells, patients
may decide that someone must be pumping gas into their living space. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Some art works open a window into what it might be like to experience “aberrant salience”, as this phenomenon is known. At<a href="http://www.ouunpo.com/stockholm/?mc-events=artists-adrift"> Bonniers Konsthall</a>, <a href="http://natasharosling.com/">Natasha Rosling</a>
played an audio work, mostly with amplified sounds from within the body
or from everyday ambience. Her piece was a reminder of the range of
experience that stands open to us if we choose to be mindful of our
sensory experiences, as well as a hint at what it may be like to have
some sensations surprisingly heightened. A more immersive experience was
offered by <a href="http://www.labyrinthpsychotica.org/Labyrinth_Psychotica/CV.html">Jennifer Kanary Nikoleva</a>
in a satellite event at Karolinska Instiutet. She has built a psychosis
simulator, with virtual reality goggles and earphones. Interacting with
a person in the simulation is not unlike talking to a psychotic
patient.<br />
<br />
All of us can have delusions. Psychiatrist and researcher Predrag Petrovic <a href="http://www.ouunpo.com/stockholm/?page_id=60">gave a lecture</a>
in which he described delusion-proneness as a character trait that
varies between people. It is not like, for instance, Huntington’s
disease, which you either have or have not. Instead, everyone is prone
to delusions in varying degrees. Higher delusion proneness may have
benefits. This has been shown e.g. by Simon Kyaga, who <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23063328">demonstrated</a> that family members to patients diagnosed with schizophrenia are more likely to have creative jobs.<br />
<br />
Delusions,
illusions, and hallucinations are part of everyday life and can be a
source of delight. Pictures where the motif changes depending on what is
perceived to be figure and background are a simple and commonplace
example. The same thing can happen in music. As demonstrated by Lazlo
Harmat and Anna Buchenhorst, who gave a <a href="http://www.ouunpo.com/stockholm/?page_id=67">talk and piano recital</a> at the <a href="http://www.iicstoccolma.esteri.it/IIC_Stoccolma">Italian Cultural Institute</a>,
Bach’s fugues have a constantly intertwined set of voices that
alternate between figure and background, largely dependent on the
listener’s perspective. Perhaps this constantly changing perspective is
part of the reason why Bach’s fugues can give us such a deep experience.<br />
<br />
This
OuUnPo session has served to remind us that sensory experience is quite
variable for everyone, throughout everyday life, if we allow ourselves
to take note of what we perceive. Art and science share a common goal in
exploring models of reality. When model exploration has consequences
for human interaction, art can help shape our societies. Art is always
political, it was said at Bonniers Konsthall. Maybe this session will
have helped to de-stigmatize the psychotic experience by blurring the
line between what is “normal” and what is not.<br />
<br />
I thank
Stephen Whitmarsh, Eléna Nemkova, Susanne Ewerlöf, and all other
participants and contributors for a most memorable experience. <br />

The European artistic network <a href="http://www.ouunpo.com/stockholm/">OuUnPo</a>
invites you to the Fugue, an experimental festival in collaboration
with Swedish artists, researchers and institutions. Each day OuUnPo
carries out actions, talks, screenings, workshops and performances in
different venues and locations across the city of Stockholm. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The
session takes its starting point in the fugue state, a rare psychiatric
disorder that is characterized by complete but reversible amnesia. The
patient loses all traces of personal memory and identity and condition
can last hours or days. People suffering from dissociative fugue often
undertakes unplanned travel or wandering during which the patient might
establish a temporary new identity.</div>

The Fugue is the 14th session that <a href="http://www.ouunpo.com/stockholm/">OuUnPo</a>
organizes and will allow art and science to enter into a novel
dialogue. It will start a new chapter in the group's history marking the
return to Europe after ambitious sessions in Beirut (2012), Tokyo
(2013) and Sao Paulo (2014). The Stockholm session is structured as a
polyphonic music formula including interventions by scientists, visual
artists, musicians, philosophers, researchers and curators. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We
will open the week together with the exhibition Artists Adrift at
Bonniers konsthall, where we will explore our overlapping themes in
conversations with the participating artists, as well presenting sound
installations by Elena Nemkova and Natasha Rosling.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Psychiatrist
and neuroscientist Predrag Petrovic will give a public lecture on how
we perceive our constantly changing reality at the disused nuclear power
plant 30 meters underneath the Royal Institute of Technology, followed
by a course on escapism through screenings of short movies curated by
Elena Nemkova.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Italian
artist Jacopo Miliani who is artist-in-residence at MDT has created a
dance universe together with Jean-Louis Huhta, Sanna Söderholm and
Carima Neusser. He will present the outcome at the Dance Museum. The
piece will deceive our vision and explore how we function in darkness. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At
the Italian Cultural Institute music psychologist and neuroscientist
Laszlo Harmat will lecture on the parallels between the fugue and the
organization of the brain, followed by a musical performance of a Bach
fugue by Anna Buchenhorst of the Stockholm Royal Opera and much, much
more!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The
festival creates a collage of events as it moves across the city. The
participation of local contributors, spaces, institutions and audiences
will offer opportunities for new alliances and generate unexpected and
novel constellations. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As an integrated part of <a href="http://www.ouunpo.com/stockholm/">OuUnPo</a>'s
Stockholm Session in Stockholm Naïvité will present a freestanding
event and the first part of the curatorial project Dream of the Palace
later this spring. Inspired by ancient memory techniques, an
experiential lab session will be given, where topics of imagination,
dwellings and identity are to be explored with all senses.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">XIII <a href="http://visionforumouunpo.blogspot.fr/">OuUnPo</a> Research Session, São Paulo, November 7-16, 2014<br />Curated by Sara Giannini.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://ouunpobrazil.blogspot.fr/">We Are What We Lost</a> is a mobile festival organised by the European
artistic network <a href="http://visionforumouunpo.blogspot.fr/">OuUnPo</a> | Ouvroir d’Univers Potentiels in cooperation
with Brazilian artists, researchers and institutions. Each day a series
of actions, talks, screenings, workshops and performances will be
enacted in different venues and locations across São Paulo. <br />
<br />
<i>We
Are What We Lost</i> is the 13th session that the group arranges and will
close the cycle “<a href="http://visionforumouunpo.blogspot.jp/2012/09/project-description-ouunpo-catastrophe.html">Catastrophe & Heritage</a>” (2012-14) where OuUnPo has
investigated crisis, conflict and how these affect the formation of
identities. Previous sessions have been held in <a href="http://ouunpolebanon.blogspot.fr/">Beirut</a> (2012), <a href="http://ouunpojapan.blogspot.fr/">Tokyo</a>
(2013) and <a href="http://ouunposicily.blogspot.fr/">Gibellina</a> (2014). In each country the group has explored
different forms of collaborative expressions by working with local
artists, curators, researchers and institutions. <br />
<br />
Over
the span of 10 days, <i>We Are What We Lost</i> will become a platform to
experiment with disappearance as a metaphor and research question. The
session will look at how loss influences our being in the present as
well as in what way it affects our dialogue with the past. How do we
take in voids and vestiges to generate sense and revisit memory? How do
ruptures and new constellations shape our experience and understanding
of time and temporality?<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
Looking at the
history of Brazil we can see how the European colonization marked a
fracture of the space-time continuum, of how life was constituted. It
was an apocalypse that caused a violent upheaval in the history of the
continent. Furthermore, the extermination of the native populations
across the Americas contributed to shape the world we live in today. It
created the basis for land and labour exploitation whose effects still
lay the foundation for contemporary capitalism.<br />
<br />
Within
this framework OuUnPo along with local collaborators will investigate
the heritage of catastrophe, a subject matter composed by conflictual
histories, fragments and residuals. <i>We Are What We Lost</i> aims to untangle
the potential of minor and nonlinear narratives through a curated
series of events that brings together a rich variety of disciplines and
perspectives into the arena of contemporary art.<br />
<br />
The
festival forms an immersive and itinerant palimpsest of events where the
participation of local contributors, spaces, institutions and audiences
will create new meetings and form unexpected alliances. The group will
approach local collections in an interrogative manner but also work with
impromptu situations, urban explorations as well as other forms of
interventions in informal contexts. OuUnPo invites you to dig out the
forgotten and wonders: <br />

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1482015822024606/">OuUnPoïesis</a> will be the third <a href="http://visionforumouunpo.blogspot.de/">OuUnPo</a>
session dedicated to the topic of «Catastrophe and Heritage» and will
take place in the town of Gibellina Nuova (Sicily) in collaboration with
the Fondazione Orestiadi and the C.R.E.S.M. (Economical and Social
Research Center for the South). <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1482015822024606/">See documentation here.</a><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The session is organised by Claudia Squitieri and Raffaella della Olga and will take place May 11-18. They write:<br />
<br />
<i>“Our main desire was to set up a session which would enable us to
work and invent together. It seemed to us we had to address the question
of collective performances, having turned out to be one of OuUnPo's
main characteristics and allow the group to experience a more intimate
work session. This is the reason why OuUnPoïesis is set to be a
laboratory platform articulated around two main axes:</i><br />
<i><br />- A discussion around the publication, the Sao Paolo and the Stockholm session.<br />- A workshop to elaborate a collective action that will be presented as central event of the local European Night of Museums.”</i><br />
<br />
A series of guests will be present during the session. <a href="http://visionforumouunpo.blogspot.de/">Here</a> you will find more info about OuUnPo and OuUnPoïesis.</div>

a response to the ZKM exhibition Global Activism, OuUnPo has invited
Mounira Al Solh and Lawrence Abu Hamdan to enact and perform two ongoing
research projects that poke and investigate the liaisons between
language and power.<br />
<br />
Mounira Al Solh will present her NOA (not
only arabic) magazine. NOA, whose third issue is currently in the
making, is a series of collaborative and performative gestures
recollected under printed form. Addressing sensitive subjects such as
“Treason” (1st issue) and “Arrest” (2nd issue), NOA can normally only be
viewed and read individually by arranging an appointment with the
artist. For the event at the ZKM though the artist will arrange a
special reading of NOA for the first time. The magazine becomes thus a
tem- porary object-shape, which is not definitive and enclosed but acts
as a further trigger for a dialogic and performative dimension with the
reader.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
Lawrence Abu Hamdan will instead organize a collective
listening session and discussion stemming out of Aural Contract, a
project about the rela- tionship of listening to politics, borders,
human rights, testimony, truth and international law. Throughout his
Aural Contract project Abu Hamdan has built up a sound archive,
containing audio extracts of his works together with specific moments of
juridical listening and speaking gathered from a wide range of sources
such as the trials of Saddam Hussein and Judas Priest,<br />
<br />
UK police
evidence tapes, films such as Decoder and readings from texts including
Italo Calvino’s “A King Listens.” For this event the components of this
archive are mixed together live, generating a performance/ seminar and
collective listening session that intends to immerse its audience in the
heart of a discussion about the fundamental ways in which we speak and
listen today.<br />
<br />
In both Al Solh’s NOA and Abu Hamdan’s Aural
Contract the word is embedded in different manifestations as well as
approached through diverse angles, and yet it emerges as a generator of
worlds and subjectivities. With this respect the word is a synechdochic
device per se, always carrying along the weight of invisible semantics.<br />
<br />
OuUnPo members Sara Giannini and Fatos Üstek, together with Mounira
Al Solh and Lawrence Abu Hamdan invite the Karlsruhe audience to
collectively speculate on the unspoken, unheard and unwritten
implications of the language we speak and write. Paraphrasing media
theorist and philosopher Vilem Flusser, we try to control the language
only to be controlled by it.</div>

In his laudatio speech, Prof. Jensen remarked on the demand in science "to try to think outside of the box". To which he added that "Stephen was never inside of the box in the first place". In that context, Prof. Jensen mentioned Ouunpo's aim and activities and Stephen's recent performance at Spiral, Tokyo.</div>

Godzilla and The Phoenix is the second phase in a series of events
organized by OuUnPo, and will take place in Japan between 18-27 of
June, 2013. OuUnPo has chosen the two mythical creatures, Godzilla
and The
Phoenix as a starting point to develop dialogue and research with
local partners in Japan. The goal is to use local knowledge to
gain a deeper understanding of how renewal and creativity are
interlinked. Godzilla and The Phoenix represent east and west, but
also rebirth from destruction, underlining that every fundamental
societal change is based on a different outlook on the world.</span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
The session will address issues like: how can historical problem
resolution help and/or mislead us in the present? How do our
expectations of the future shape how we see the reality that
surrounds us and how we act in the present? How can exchanges
between different disciplines and between different cultures offer
tools to help us to foster creativity and safeguard diversity?</span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
Previously, OuUnPo held a session in Lebanon (December 2012) and
after the Japan session, the group will continue to investigate
future topics in Sweden (May 2014) and Brazil (September 2014).
During each session, OuUnPo looks at how heritage and crises are
linked to explore the similarities and differences in how people
respond and deal with situations of regeneration in each country–
and most importantly, how negative situations can be used for the
development of new ideas and solutions. </span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
OuUnPo is a group of artists, curators and researchers, and
operates like an itinerant laboratory co-creating and sharing
knowledge through artistic production. Please go to the <a href="http://ouunpojapan.blogspot.fr/" moz-do-not-send="true">OuUnPo

<span style="font-family: inherit;">SFMOMA is currently showing <a href="http://www.sfmoma.org/exhib_events/exhibitions/509">an exhibition </a>by American architect Lebbeus Woods that connects to OuUnPo's current investigation of <a href="http://visionforumouunpo.blogspot.fr/2012/09/project-description-ouunpo-catastrophe.html">catastrophe and heritage.</a> The majority of Woods's explorations deal with the design of systems in
crisis: the order of the existing being confronted by the order of the
new. He is known for his proposals for San Francisco,
Havana and Sarajevo. He writes:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Architecture and war are not incompatible. Architecture is war. War
is architecture. I am at war with my time, with history, with all
authority that resides in fixed and frightened forms. I am one of
millions who do not fit in, who have no home, no family, no doctrine, no
firm place to call my own, no known beginning or end, no "sacred and
primordial site." I declare war on all icons and finalities, on all
histories that would chain me with my own falseness, my own pitiful
fears. I know only moments, and lifetimes that are as moments, and forms
that appear with infinite strength, then "melt into air." I am an
architect, a constructor of worlds, a sensualist who worships the flesh,
the melody, a silhouette against the darkening sky. I cannot know your
name. Nor you can know mine. Tomorrow, we begin together the
construction of a city.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i> </i><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-6"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebbeus_Woods#cite_note-6"></a></sup></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
Woods envisioned experimental constructs and environments,
stated that the interplay of metrical systems establishing boundaries
of materials and energetic forms is the foundation of a universal
science whose workers include all individuals. He has stated:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>My answer was that architecture, as a social and primarily
constructive act, could heal the wounds, by creating entirely new types
of space in the city. These would be what I had called ‘freespaces,’
spaces without predetermined programs of use, but whose strong forms
demanded the invention of new programs corresponding to the new,
post-war conditions</i>”</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Four Sessions in Lebanon, Japan, Sweden and Brazil 2012-2014 in collaboration between Vision Forum and GAM/ZKM.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>The tradition of the oppressed teaches us that the "state of emergency" in which we live is not the exception but the rule. We must attain to a conception of history that is in keeping with this insight. -Walter Benjamin, Illuminations (257)</i></span><br /><br /><i>Background</i><br />OuUnPo is a pan-European research group made up of artists, curators and researchers who together look at the boundaries of performance by appropriating and stretching the language of workshops, seminars and meetings. The group travels to different cities and investigates a given problem. By collaborating with a number of local institutions on in each location (museums, art organisations, research centres, residency programs, informal groups etc.) UnUnPo collapses the local with global. This offers a particularly creative situation that allows the partners of the project to get a deeper understanding of how the local and global interacts and how the art world is dealing with the current changes. OuUnPo has therefore teamed up with the ZKM’s research program "GAM-Global Art and the Museum" in order to get a deeper critical and academic and understanding of the working methods developed by the group and their potential to be used by other institutions.<br /><br />The core group of OuUnPo has been in flux since the start in 2009. They interact extensively with local institutions and creators at every location, so that the local contingency is larger than the visitors. OuUnPo has previously collaborated with Tate Britain, in London; MACRO in Rome; Serralves in Porto and Deste Foundation in Athens to mention some of the most well known. The group is usually made up of 10-15 creators who travel to each meeting and who collaborate with dozens of local players. Sessions have been held in Athens, Belgrade, Amsterdam-Nijmegen, Paris, Skopje, Stockholm, Porto and London. Meetings are planned for <a href="http://ouunpojapan.blogspot.fr/">Japan</a>, <a href="http://ouunpolebanon.blogspot.fr/">Lebanon</a>, <a href="http://ouunponorrkoping.blogspot.fr/">Sweden</a> and <a href="http://ouunpobrazil.blogspot.fr/">Brazil</a> in 2012-14.<br /><br /><i>Field of Research</i><br />The human condition is marked by continuous threats that are inscribed into a historical context. The Tsunami in Japan; the change in global climate; the shortage of fresh water, energy and base materials; the growing population of the planet all show that our (near) future will be filled with challenges. We need great ideas to go deal with these unforeseeable situations. We need variety and multiplicity.</span><br />

As OuUnPo for the first time arranges meetings outside of Europe, with a broad European participation base, we have decided to look at how heritage and crises are linked together to offer a broader and deeper knowledge based around how the two interact. The research will be carried out in three interconnected fields.<br /><br />Three Research Guidelines:<br /><br />1. <b>Catastrophe and Creation</b>. OuUnPo will during the four sessions look at how a threat, a catastrophe or a situation of crises can offer opportunity for creation. The group will look into the potential of new thought and new ideas from a situation that at first glance appears to be negative. Or, phrased differently, is heritage always connected to successful expressions of survival instinct, problem resolution and the human capability to turn a problem into an advantage? Special emphasis will be put on temporal aspects and how destruction and rebirth are connected and how the two interact over time.<br /><br />2. <b>Temporary architecture.</b> In a majority of countries around the world, a larger part of the population lives in temporary architecture. These are usually created as a response to a crises situation and gradually become permanent. The group is interested how emergency shelters in Japan relate to favelas (subnormal agglomerations) in Brazil, to informal architecture in Lebanon and to the relative stasis of small town Sweden.<br /><br />3. <b>Heritage.</b> The activities in </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://ouunpojapan.blogspot.fr/">Japan</a>, <a href="http://ouunpolebanon.blogspot.fr/">Lebanon</a>, <a href="http://ouunponorrkoping.blogspot.fr/">Sweden</a> and <a href="http://ouunpobrazil.blogspot.fr/">Brazil</a></span> will provide the group with new insights on the tensions between stasis and flux in situations marked by natural disasters, economic downturn or post-war reconstruction. The questions addressed are how to move forward, using the experiences of the past that can help and to aid the collective memory to stay awake. The research also unfolds several possible models for Europe and potential crisis-resolution. The European urban and cultural tissue is in fact woven with an old and preserved heritage that demands new ways to interpret and manage situations of crisis.<br /><br /><i></i></span><br />

<br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i> </i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Working Process</i><br />OuUnPo's methodology addresses the need for alternative forms of education and production; accommodating multiplicity and embracing invention. The strategy offers new solutions rather than updating old models and existing formulas. Central to this is an awareness of the need for personal inspiration, an endeavour to find ways to enrich our daily lives, and through that process also enrich the lives of others. In other words, this strategy reconnects art and research to the every day experience of our lives - it builds a bridge between theory and practice.<br /><br />In each working session OuUnPo collaborates with a number of local institutions. These are usually in a situation of competition in their everyday practice, but by bringing in a variety of outside players who collaborate with local institutions, OnUnPo collapses the local with global. The strategy allows the partners of the project to get a deeper understanding of how the local and global interacts and how the art world is dealing with the current changes. OuUnPo has therefore teamed up with GAM/ZKM in order to get a deeper critical and academic and understanding of the working methods developed by the group and their potential to be used by other institutions.<br /><br />With this in mind, OuUnPo will carry out a 5-day session in </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://ouunpolebanon.blogspot.fr/">Lebanon</a></span></span></span> in December 2012; a 10-day session in </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://ouunpojapan.blogspot.fr/">Japan</a><a href="http://ouunpobrazil.blogspot.fr/"></a></span> in May 2013; a 5-day session in </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://ouunponorrkoping.blogspot.fr/">Sweden</a> <a href="http://ouunpobrazil.blogspot.fr/"></a></span></span>in September 2013 and 10-day session in </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> <a href="http://ouunpobrazil.blogspot.fr/">Brazil</a></span></span></span> in March 2014. The four sessions aim to reflect on the above questions. European participants will come from different backgrounds within art, in addition to architecture, neuroscience, design and other fields. One of the important aspects of the project lies in mixing genres, languages, allowing participants from Europe to meet peers from the different cities and vice versa.<br /><br />Another strategy is the mixing of production (mainly exhibition and performance) with academic presentation, research and reflection. The OuUnPo group will therefore carry out performances, interactive events, research and public presentations in collaboration with local partners and the local public. These events will work in response to existing contemporary art exhibitions, architectural sites and social situations. OuUnPo does so with the aim of creating links between the visitors' everyday life experiences and the works of art and architecture at hand, together stimulating the formulation of new outlooks on reality and our future.</span><br />

The publication will offer deep insights into how globalisation affects the artistic process and local realities, offering invaluable insights into contemporary art’s potential on a global scale to develop visionary thinking, new understanding across borders, and new solutions to existing problems.<br /><br />The dialogue between the pan European network of OuUnPo and local communities of artists, curators and researchers form the backbone of this research, by collapsing the boundaries between local and global. The OuUnPo members have both developed a unique working method and acquired important knowledge that will be nourished and dispersed through the meetings.<br /><br />A series of seminars in academic setting in Sweden and Germany will be carried out during the research period that will allow a broad dispersion of the research results in broad European context.<b><br /></b></span>Vision Forumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06031287871423684528noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4371647647709988240.post-73314508961488736532012-08-30T00:12:00.003-07:002012-08-30T01:13:59.039-07:00Updated project descriptions for Sweden and Japan.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTceK-JHv8kl6cFrLthZ6HcA44RthsggzucN5e1h8wJmCAUYc9z7vP65j-W4nWmjWUPzwO1KpLgubXtSxy-6O-5OSOTF43RrPQ3dmE4oeexIA9yv_NXk6wY9nYs6mTIH7LHZ-A_FfK5UI/s1600/212360995.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTceK-JHv8kl6cFrLthZ6HcA44RthsggzucN5e1h8wJmCAUYc9z7vP65j-W4nWmjWUPzwO1KpLgubXtSxy-6O-5OSOTF43RrPQ3dmE4oeexIA9yv_NXk6wY9nYs6mTIH7LHZ-A_FfK5UI/s320/212360995.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5782362797118304866" height="107" border="0" width="107" /></a><br />The preparations for the OuUnPo sessions with <a href="http://www.globalartmuseum.de/site/home">Global Art and the Museum</a> are taking shape.
