FAREWELL STATE: PROPERTY

A week of daily discussion, spontaneous actions and explorations in to the neo-liberal frontiers of the city. From Wed 31 Aug – Wed 7 Sep 2011 a loose collective of artists/groups/writers will converge to share thoughts and to respond through the development and dissemination of new work, ideas and propositions for change.

This is part one of FAREWELL STATE, a new series of a collective disruptions, imagined alternatives and responses to life, society and space that in its critique draws on the energy of the recent social unrest. The subject of part one is PROPERTY - from its basic function as shelter to the fundamental capitalist principle of ownership, encompassing architecture, city planning, cooperatives, occupations, commodity production, consumerism, space/politics/power and the ‘free’ citizen who from birth is the owner-occupier of his or herself.

The FAREWELL STATE series will focus on research, sharing, discussion and mobilisation based on processes, spontaneous actions and experimental modes of writing, art production and dissemination.
