The participants of the School of Infinite Rehearsals of Onassis AiR 2020/21
Having received more than 800 applications from artists, designers, activists, collectives, educators, lawyers, performance and film makers, economists, philosophers, and other practitioners, this year’s curriculum will be co-shaped by 23 selected participants, the conveners of Fall & Spring Movement Groups, as well as other collaborators and guests.
Carrying on with the ethos of an un-disciplined, artist-run community of peers dedicated to artistic process towards a less product-obsessed arts ecosystem, the selection of The School of Infinite Rehearsals was done through a peer-to-peer process by the Onassis AiR 2019/20 participants.
Conceived as a collective research program The School of Infinite Rehearsals will focus on two thematic areas we find urgent to explore: identities & ecologies. It is composed of four Movement Groups, each consisting of six participants who will engage in a collective “rehearsal”, bringing their own “instrument” in the form of their existing practice that clearly engages with one of the research topic areas in a radical way. In Fall 2020: Identities annihilated, performance theorist Hypatia Vourloumis will convene Movement I & Il. In Spring 2021: Everything equally evolved, writer and artist James Bridle will convene Movement III & IV.
All accepted participants will receive a research fee, housing & travel to/from Athens – if from abroad – as well as a collective research budget, and other resources.
