The Naples Preennale of Water 2024 Commoning Lab

Dan Farberoff — Thu, 13 Jun 2024 17:19:38 +0000

The Naples Preennale of Water 2024

June 23 – July 7, 2024

The Preennale of Water (“Preennale dell’acqua”) is a trans-disciplinary gathering and a collaborative initiative by Common Views, together with partners in Naples and across the Mediterranean region. The Preennale, which is taking place in the summer of 2024, invites artists, architects, activists, writers, researchers, designers, planners and others to imagine, discuss, create and design effective and durable responses to a range of social and environmental issues relating to water, both locally and in the wider Mediterranean region.

A central aim of the Preennale is to explore the creation a new grassroots Biennale of Water that will take place in Naples in 2026 and will tour in future to different cities along the Mediterranean coast.

The Commoning Lab

As part of the Preennale gathering in Naples, Common Views will be holding a two-week-long Commoning Lab in which artists and activists who work in the field of Commoning will be taking part in an open exchange, with the intention of advancing new perspectives for Naples’ urban environment, drawing on the overarching themes of interconnection, complexity and emergence. Commoning Lab participants include persons whose work, individually or as part of existing collectives, involves social and environmental practices, site-specific and participatory practices, community-engaged arts, creative interventions and performance in public space.

The Commoning Lab program includes group sessions as well as extended periods for creative research and self-practice. Lab participants will have the opportunity to work individually or in groups towards a presentation of their work, reflecting their contribution and explorations of the themes examined during the Lab, and to present these as part of a concluding Preennale exhibition, as well as in Naples’ outdoor public spaces.

Some of our proposed inquiries for the Commoning Lab’s collective explorations are:

the enclosure of Naples’ water resources;
the generating of public participation and engagement;
water related sustainability;
urban water utopias;
more-than-human water perspectives;
hacking of existing systems and novel approaches and technologies;
the underground water commons;
animating local water histories;
cultural water landscapes;
developing collaborative working methods;
and more.

The Preennale of Water Program

In addition to the Commoning Lab held by Common Views, the Preennale will also include a design workshop led by CoolCity, as well as a series of presentations, site tours and round table discussions, which participants are welcome to attend.

Schedule Week 1 Schedule Week 2

For additional information and the event’s full program, check out the Preennale pdf brochure below:

The Location

The epicenter of the Preennale in Naples is the area of Porta Capuana and the Lanificio, a former textile factory within a XIV century cloister. The site is located next to the historical city gate, the arrival point of the ancient aqueduct of Bolla that fed water from Mt. Vesuvius into the city for over two millennia. The site, which is part of the Santa Caterina a Formiello Church, now houses Preenale’s hosts laboratorio architettura nomade (LAN), as well as art galleries, social cooperatives, laboratories, apartments, offices and music clubs

Preennale of Water Partners

The Common Views collective founded in 2019 by artists David Behar Perahia and Dan Farberoff, applies a commoning, social-ecological perspective to arts engagement. The collective carries out site-specific, participatory projects worldwide, addressing the relationship between communities in the context of their relationship to their environment.

Laboratorio Architettura Nomade is a non profit association based in Naples founded in 2004, comprising thinkers, artists, and architects who experiment with new research concepts and ideas about urban life and built environments, through the production of projects, events and workshops.

CoolCity is an international school that was founded in 2021 to revisit ancient and revise contemporary technologies for the creation of a new eco-culture in the climate endgame. It is opposed to the privatization and materialization of urban spaces, and wants to imagine future communities and myths in the post-anthropocentric cities.

Commonspace is a collaborative, interdisciplinary planning and design group based in Athens, established in 2012. The wide range of Commonspace members and associates form a network of experts and scientists involved in urban and spatial planning and environmental management.

Common Views Declaration on the War in Gaza

Dan Farberoff — Wed, 06 Mar 2024 13:38:00 +0000

Stop the War Now!

We are shocked, horrified, and extremely worried by the events currently unfolding in and around Gaza. Having been active over decades in the arena of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, both as individuals and in our work as a collective – engaging in conflict-resolution, in collaborative peace initiatives with Palestinians and Israelis, and in creating work that seeks to challenge the existing paradigm of endless aggression and to redress the resulting injustices – we share the distress of compassionate persons around the world at the unfolding horror and its consequences.

In days like these, when one is required to “take sides”, the side we choose is clear: we stand by all those who have lost their loved ones in this war; by all those who have had to flee for their lives and leave their homes; by all those who fear for their lives and the lives of their family and loved ones, in Gaza, the West Bank, in Israel and the surrounding region.

In line with the collective declaration issued on February 7th, 2024, by the major human-rights organizations working in the region, it is our duty in these challenging times to raise our voices loud and clear against the violence and the harming of innocent civilians. We join the call for a cessation of all hostilities in Gaza, and for an end to the horrendous cycle of violence and aggression.

We abhor any expressions of genocidal intent, and view in this light with great concern the violent actions by the Israeli government and military towards Palestinians in Gaza and elsewhere – against non-combatants, against helpless children and their families, the wholesale destruction of homes, the mass displacements, the withholding of food, water, medical treatment and other essential necessities.

As a collective, we stand, actively and in practice, by those who are unfairly and unjustly treated, those who are marginalized and are socially, economically and politically excluded. We oppose all forms of bigotry, including all manifestations of racism in its many guises. We urge all our collaborators and partners around the world to consider the shared values of justice, equality and peace which we all cherish, and to translate them into meaningful action, for a better future.

– Common Views collective co-founders, David Behar-Perahia and Dan Farberoff

THE URBAN BIOSPHERE EXPERIENCE:
Somatic Explorations

18th-19th February 2023

Working with an exquisite group of movers we explored locations in Berlin’s Tegel neighbourhood, both in nature and in the built urban environment, focusing on somatic, experiential states. We researched new ways to be present in the city and in nature and of interacting with the wildlife, the plant-life, and with humans and their physicality. Together we created a series of site-specific pop-up performances for the launch event of the URBAN BIOSPHERE EXPERIENCE on the 24th and 25th of Feb. This neighbourhood-wide open air exhibition and tour of the urban biosphere combined sound and visual art, written texts, participatory scores as well as live performances.

Biosphere Berlin Reading Group 19 January

Sina Ribak — Thu, 19 Jan 2023 11:22:43 +0000

« Le jardinage se prête au modèle gestionnaire dépassant les limites du jardin. On comprendrait qu’une société s’en inspire – c’est l’enjeu du Jardin Planétaire – à condition d’en percevoir les dérives et de les éviter. »
Gilles Clément

***

„Gärtnern eignet sich als Verwaltungsmodell, das die Grenzen des Gartens überschreitet. An diesem könnte sich eine Gesellschaft orientieren – darauf setzt der Planetarische Garten –, unter der Bedingung, dass die die Auswüchse erkennt und vermeidet.“
Gilles Clément

Biosphere Berlin Reading Group 19 January

Thursday 19th of January, 18:00 – 19:30

We would like to invite you to our second Biosphere Study Group meeting that is inspired by the French landscape gardener and philosopher Gilles Clément. The Biosphere Berlin project wants to broaden and rethink the understanding of the relationship between urban spaces and the natural landscape: the perceived opposites of “built” and “grown” or “planned” and “organic”, are reconsidered as potentially coexisting. In the current project phase, we are exploring the relationship between residents of Tegel, including the more-than-human, the biosphere and the city.

Our small online gathering is hosted by Sina Ribak. We will spend some time reading out loud a selection of passages offering us perspectives on nature and culture. We will be listening to our voices. There will be moments for sharing our reflections in regards to the urban biosphere theme and our experiences of studying together.

***

Thursday 19th of January, 18:00 – 19:30

The meeting will take place on Zoom: https://technion.zoom.us/j/93522246302

***

Language: We use English for our conversations. This time the text is available in German and in French only. Each participant is invited to read either in German or French.

Die Weisheit des Gärtners – READER GERMAN

La Sagesse du Jardinier – READER FRENCH

***

The meeting is neither streamed nor recorded to create an intimate atmosphere of collective study. To support our reflection process and facilitate the sharing of our collectively harvested insights, we invite participants to share notes, thoughts or drawings.

***

Hope you can make it. Looking forward to connecting!

Warm wishes,

Biosphere Berlin – Dan Farberoff, David Behar Perahia, Ka Rustler, Katja Arzt and Sina Ribak

Common Views Article in OnCurating Journal

OnCurating Issue #54: documenta fifteen — Aspects of Commoning in Curatorial and Artistic Practices

The article Commoning: Environmental Reconciliation in the Work of Common Views appearing this November in the 54th issue of OnCurating, discusses the work of Common Views and how our approach of Environmental Reconciliation has evolved over the course of our projects.

This issue of OnCurating is the result of more than two years of intensive engagement with aspects of commoning in curatorial and artistic practice, stemming from encounters relating to documenta fifteen. The documenta, which took place in 2022, focused on the core values of lumbung, an artistic and economic model rooted in principles such as collectivity, communal resource sharing, and equal allocation – a radical approach for one of the world’s foremost art events.

In addition to Common Views‘ artists David Behar Perahia and Dan Farberoff, the issue focuses on other documenta fifteen contributors, such as the Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik, Más Arte Más Acción, the winners of the documenta‘s top Arnold Bode Prize the Wajukuu Art Project, political philosopher and sociologist Oliver Marchart and others.
