Open forum

In the spirit of continuation of the form of public discussion in ‘If You Lived Here…’, an open forum will take place after the opening to share the history of the project as well as to develop a comparative view between past and present, between the US context and Utrecht and elsewhere in the post-welfare conditions of Europe. Participants include Martha Rosler, Anton Vidokle and Binna Choi, with guests including artist Marion von Osten, architect Andreas Muller, artist Graziela Kunsch and Friso Wiersum & Margot Ellenbruk, organizers of the Hidden City project in Utrecht.

The Grand Domestic Revolution goes on.
‘User’s Manual: The Grand Domestic Revolution’ continues in and out of its headquarter at Bemuurde Weerd o.z 18 b in Utrecht. Besides Martha Rosler, artist Graziela Kunsch, artist Annette Krauss, a project group from the Dutch Art Institute, artist Travis Meinolf and theorist Marina Vishmidt join in with different activities. Further information is available at the newly open website: www.cascoprojects.org/gdr.

Casco, Office for Art, Design and Theory, established in 1990 in Utrecht, is committed to the production and presentation of cross-disciplinary projects and “participatory” activities initiated with artists, designers and writers. Its primary focus is on the areas where art, design and theory intersect to form critical, imaginative and collaborative inquiries into our social and physical environment. The Casco team consists of
Binna Choi (director), Jaring Dürst Britt, Yolande van der Heide, Mirjam van Drenth, Mafalda Dâmaso (intern) and Sacha Semeniouk (intern).

The Casco programme is generously supported by the Mondriaan Foundation and the Utrecht City Council.

‘If You Lived Here Still…’ at Casco is made possible with kind support from the K.F. Hein Fund, Utrecht Manifest and Utrecht Consortium.
