MANDER(S)

A SPONTANEOUS COLLECTIVE MANUFACTURING EXPERIENCE

Méandre(S) is an experiment involving an orchestra of improvisers, scientists and researchers. It is a question, by these meetings, of questioning our respective practices and of questioning how these can be nourished and manufacture thought or have a thought in action. It is through the interactivity between practices that we will obtain stimulation, paradox and network. Any proposal will be able to connect to another, since it will be active among all the protagonists who will enrich each other through their reciprocal contact. The challenge of this experience is not to think in opposition, but to oppose points of view in order to build new ones.

@ Andy Goldsworthy

"Spontaneity is the mode of being of individual creativity. It is its first outpouring, still immaculate; neither corrupted at the source, nor threatened by recuperation. If creativity is the most shared thing in the world, spontaneity, on the contrary, seems to be a privilege. Only those who have resisted power for a long time and are aware of their own value as individuals have it: the majority of people in revolutionary times, and more than one might think, in a time when revolution is being built every day. Everywhere where the glimmer of creativity remains, spontaneity keeps its chances" [...] "
Being real exempts me from being necessary"
