UM - MODERNISMTODAY

From the beginning of the twentieth century, followers of Modernism have strived for the creation of 'a new world for new people'. The initiative MODERNISMTODAY concentrates on the role that Modernism has always played in present-day art and culture. Out of a sense of urgency that is currently felt in design disciplines, its roots are being looked at again, especially from a perspective that can be termed 'Social Design'. The initiative wants to contribute to the actual discussion about this subject with a number of lectures. The target groups of the activities range from professionals to a broad but interested audience.

MODERNISMTODAY is part of UTRECHT MANIFEST, biennial for social design.

The Grand Domestic Revolution GOES ON

The Grand Domestic Revolution (GDR) GOES ON is a mid-way manifestation of User’s Manual: The Grand Domestic Revolution, a long-term ‘living research’ that has been initiated as Casco’s contribution to Utrecht Manifest 2009.

The GDR GOES ON is conceived to reflect the major activities and investigations developed thus far by articulating key questions through public discussions in different formats. It consists of CHECK-IN, a four-day programme, READ-IN, a collective activity organised by an ongoing reading group, a neighbourhood ACTION and a SYMPOSIUM titled Dwelling in the Commons. The GDR GOES ON is also accompanied by a PUBLICATION. At a time when the support structures in our lives, such as housing, care system, “privacy” are absorbed into capitalist operations and become increasingly precarious, GDR aims to investigate what other ways of living together are possible.

CHECK-IN: 28, 29, 30, 31 October 2010
READ IN: 30 October 2010
ACTION: 15 / 16 December 2010
SYMPOSIUM: 21 November 2010

The full programme will be available online at www.cascoprojects.org by the 30th of September. For further inquiries please contact gdr@cascoprojects.org.
