Users Manual

User's Manual: The Grand Domestic Revolution

User’s Manual: The Grand Domestic Revolution is a year-long project developed as Casco’s contribution to Utrecht Manifest – Biennial for Social Design. The project deals with the evolutionary and collaborative process of “living” research in the contemporary domestic and private sphere – particularly in relation to the spatial imagining (or the built environment). It aims at re-articulating while exercising the notions of the social, the public and, eventually, the commons. For this purpose, an apartment in the Casco’s neighborhood (Bemuurde Weerd oz 18 b, Utrecht) is rented to be both a symbolic and functional base of the project. The actual use and transformation of space and multiple forms of activities in and out of the apartment intertwine with cross-disciplinary research and imaginative practices. The apartment is open to the public from Tuesday till Sunday from 12.00 till 18.00

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.

If You Lived Here Still… An archive project by Martha Rosler

Casco's first project in the year in which it celebrates its 20th anniversary looks back at a project that took place 20 years ago on another continent. Organized as part of our year-long programme ‘User’s Manual: The Grand Domestic Revolution’, Casco’s contribution to Utrecht Manifest–Biennial for Social Design, this signals another step in exploring how critical art, design and cultural practice affect society. ... more
