Iratxe Jaio and Klaas van Gorkum have been selected to take part in the Mondriaan Foundation residency at Lipac, Laboratory of Investigation into Contemporary Art Practice, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
On Saturday the 18th of May, they will introduce their research project "Draw some lines in the sand and call it an institution" at Centro Cultural Rojas. The artists will talk about the challenges of organising oneself collectively at different stages of institutionalisation, and the theatrical aspects of staging justice. They will be evaluating their own experiences in Occupy Amsterdam, where they initiated "The Beursplein Hearings", a formal structure within the camp that collected testimonies from its members on the ethical dilemmas they encountered while dealing with social problems and keeping order on the public square.
