Assignment: What’s Private for you?

littlestrokes — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 16:36:51 +0000

For Eske, Ingrid, Marie S and Marie T

After some days of research on the relation between the private and the public, we now ask for your help. We believe that the idea of privacy is very individual, and we would like you to share what privacy means to you. You can describe it as you wish – like a concrete situation or a subtle feeling, it’s up to you.

Assignment: An investigation

littlestrokes — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 14:15:09 +0000

For Katrine, Gabriella, Eske and Linnea

Trade would like you to profile and make a presentation of one of the network members. By searching the internet (Facebook, Google, MySpace and so on) we want you to investigate his/her life, as intimate and private as possible, and then send it back to us.

You can make the task as small or big as you like, but don’t kill yourself – Internet is easy to get lost in…

Coming up: Performance, Residency and Installation

After a winter break Trade is back on the road – in a couple of weeks we travel to France to do a three week residency at PAF in St. Erme. This year we want to concentrate on the collective-creativity and work towards a new piece called Trade – the installation.

We will start out with a small performance at Plattform in Malmö, the 10th of June, where we will invite the audience to be a part of the creative work and on the 19th we’re off to France!

As always you are very welcome to share your thoughts with us, Trade would love to hear from you.

Peace out!
