A performance webshop: threat or advocate of artistic autonomy? Pascal Gielen & Nina Jan

Nina Jan — 2015-03-01T12:57:00Z

On March 4 2015, À la Cart Performance Webshop will be hosted by the Dutch Film Academy - the Master of Film lecture series. We are adding their official invitation:

This Master of Film lecture hosts Slovenian artist and Master of Film student Nina Jan, one of the authors of the A la Cart Performance Webshop, who will take us behind the scenes of the A la Cart Performance Webshop project and through concrete examples of the artistic process address and problematize the topics of artistic hyper-production, mobility, adaptability, opportunism, artistic romantic euphoria and a search for artistic autonomy.

Nina's opening lecture will be picked up by sociologist Pascal Gielen who will position the performance webshop into a wider framework of post-Fordism and precarious work and, based on his recent research ‘The Hybrid Artist' and ‘Post-Fordist Labour in the Creative City', discuss the conditions of contemporary art production.

The lecture is a cooperation between the Master of Film and KUD NUM.

Nina Jan (1986) is a conceptual artist, performer and director, lately mostly working between the Netherlands, Slovenia and Spain. Her conceptual work that covers the fields of performance art, installation, film and internet art often investigates audience friendly ways for interactivity as well as questions the default settings of artistic media, artistic processes and the creative position of the author herself. Setting up the À la Cart Performance Webshop she has become increasingly interested in developing alternative marketing strategies for performance art practices and exposing the effects of Post-Fordist production on the artistic realities. She is currently also initiating an online museum called the Museum of (un)sent emails, which, by its detail use of certain structural elements and curatorial practices aims to research the multitudes of individual voices hidden among the mass e-communication.Automatic word wrap
Nina is also a co-founder of KUD NUM multidisciplinary artist collective.

À la Cart Performance Webshop celebrating the online launching

Nina Jan — 2014-09-22T13:55:00Z

Since after 3 years of work the opening of the À la Cart Performance Webshop was a very big and happy moment, we gathered some friends and tried out the first À la Cart Performance Webshop presentational lecture. This interactive lecture in which we explained how the webshop works and together with the audience ordered a version of the À la Cart Performance ended with a toast with some proper Slovenian schnapps.

Many thanks to our hosts - Matej and Jana Demšar, Žgajnar Tourist Farm!

Last weeks of working in Slovenia

Nina Jan — 2014-08-30T13:47:05Z

At the end of July 2014 both of us flew to Slovenia for the last weeks of the À la Cart Performance Webshop production process. Although an enormous amount of work has been done to that point, we were still far from ready.

There was still some script missing, most of the chapters had to be put on stage, we had to prepare and carry out the shooting, the À la Cart Performance Webshop was still in the making - so we had to write all the text and coordinate/feedback between the programer, designer and the editor.

These were some long and busy days!
