The Public School and AAAARG.org
Hi everyone,
This Tuesday is the first evening in a year-long series of weekly conversations and exhibits in 2010 focusing on examples of Plausible Artworlds, culminating in an online and printed publication in 2011. Let’s get started!
This week we’ll be talking with folks from The Public School and AAAARG.ORG. This is a rare opportunity to get people who have been involved in organizing, theorizing, participating in (or newly interested in) these projects to convene online for a couple hours in a public and open setting.
Accompanying this conversation will also be a hands-on public event to officially launch The Public School in Philadelphia, with a history of past “courses”, and plenty of room to propose new ones. Please come and join us!
AAAARG.ORG is an online pirate library integrated with The Public School – initiated by Sean Dockray with Fiona Whitton as a project for TELIC Arts Exchange at the end of 2007. The Public School is a school with no curriculum, located underneath TELIC Arts Exchange. The Public School is an open structure, or maybe a stage, on which ideas about school perform new realities. To put it another way, The Public School is invested in the idea of public space – not in the sense of state-controlled plots of land, but rather in the sense of spaces for the political.

Hi everyone,
You can sign up to post comments here (at the bottom of each of these events on basekamp.com), which is where we’ll be having ongoing discussion about each weekly example artworld.
There’s also an audio archive (which will be embedded on that link above, but until it is, you can listen here): http://www.archive.org/details/ThePublicSchoolAndAaaarg.org
And Flickr pics from the event @ Basekamp in Philly: http://www.flickr.com/photos/basekamp2010/
We’re having these events every week in 2010 - which is a lot but we hope they’re all worth clearing your Tuesday nights to join. If you can’t make it, we’ll try to have documentation like this available for each week.
