Thank you to all IN SITU former and current collaborators throughout the years and happy 20^th anniversary to the network!

DIARY OF THE RESIDENCY OF “THE PLACE” AT MENU SPAUSTUVE IN VILNIUS, 2024

By Alina Stockinger (Eléctrico 28)

The Place is the new performative project of the artistic collective Eléctrico 28. We have started working on it in spring this year, being very much inspired by the Hivernem-research-programme organised by Fira Tàrrega and Institut Ramon Llull, as well as by the project Deriva urbana: A part not a part from a place. The latter is an itinerant performance we developed and directed last year for the National Theatre in Rijeka and for Mittelfest in Cividale del Friuli.

HEAVY KINSHIP - research residencies within the IN SITU network — Part 1

First part of the series throughout IN SITU by Nana Francisca Schottländer

Nana-Francisca Schottländer is a Copenhagen-based inter-disciplinary artist working at the intersection between dance, performance, installation, and conceptual art. Her work revolves around encounters and intra-actions with other-than-human entities and phenomena such as rocks, fungi, water, soil, and entire geographical areas with their inherent lifeforms and dynamics. Central to her work is the use of her own body as a living tool for research and creation.

Things that happen in the street. An attempt at a dictionary

By Eléctrico 28

This dictionary attempt captures the spontaneous and never-ending choreography of daily life, radically exposed to open air. And then, organizes all the material in very unique categories, following an alphabetical-rebel instinct and an artistic code rooted in Eléctrico 28’s approach to urban space. We observe through a sharp but non-judgmental eye.

Activities
