Throughout the graduation show, Pub Fun(gi) Radio will proudly occupy the interstitial space between Het Hem, De Dood, and the listening public during these distant days. In a sound space collaboratively crafted by the Studio for Immediate Spaces and Touche Touche, we will resonate both local soundscapes and off-shore broadcasts. Our naturally artificial and funghi-esque radio environment will navigate the exhibition space, amplifying the rich polyphony of graduate voices in a 24-hour durational program:

When gathering and concocting our series of fictions, falsehoods and deceptions we never considered that these distorted reflections on reality would take shape during a pandemic. Within the context of this unforeseen global event and the multiple truths this situation generated, we were seduced and deceived by the generative lies the texts revealed. Lies which imagined mythical pasts, alternative presents and possible futures.

In a creation process, the sense of “not knowing” famously becomes a stress factor. Not knowing where to start, pauze or finish. Not knowing which of all options to pick. Which incentive to follow, or medium to invest in. But why are we so rigid in disqualifying the feeling of uncertainty?
Doubt, the deep-grey zone, hesitation; these are mental areas that I admire, support and advocate as being undervalued human qualities. They display our ability to x-ray-vision through multiple perspectives, outcomes, meanings and dimensions. Our sensitivity to depth. If that cluster of abilities is generally labelled uncertainty, we might need to look at it again !
Being an autodidact in all areas of my work, Not Knowing has been my traditional point of departure. When disregarded, it created blockage or chaos. When seen, it sparked productivity, curiosity, interpersonal connections, self exploration, transformation, meeting challenge, and developing an in-depth sense of the world around me. Not Knowing has proven an essential tool to me. Not knowing has become a big friend.
You could call this active stance of Not Knowing a “utilisation” of the natural course that surrounds you; a conscious sourcing of the gut feeling.
An ongoing dance between uncontrollable chance and personal choice. Inserting a new station where you’d usually travel from “doubt” straight to “certainty”.
We’re now alive in a time (…) where an acknowledgement of Not Knowing is essential to new ways of seeing; to place progression over fear; soft optimism over mass-disregard. I believe that acknowledging our Not Knowing is also needed within creative institutions and the art world at large.
I’d like to focus this two hour workshop on our qualities of Not Knowings by playing with a few exercises (driven by writing and drawing + perhaps some physical movement)
