    Peers, Presence, Process: Studio Communities as Experimental Playgrounds
The fifth edition of UFO’s public program is co-hosted by MORPHO and focuses on the theme of process-driven practices.
Playing to the gallery, optimizing performance, perpetual productivity: it sounds like chapters from a neoliberal playbook on the meaning of work today. Artistic work is not immune to these forces. Factory mindsets need to be countered by laboratory mindsets to make exciting artistic creation possible.
This public program gives the floor to 6 international guests who invest in spaces for supporting artists, artistic development and emergent bodies of work. During this evening, they share their strategies for holding space for process and ideas on why this is necessary. After their short individual presentations, you will be able to engage with them in smaller groups.
