THE RADICAL SHARING

GARAZI ANSA / DANIEL PIZARRO

THE RADICAL SHARING « Que voulez-vous donc ? Changer l’humanité ? — Non, quelque chose d’infiniment plus modeste : que l’humanité se change, comme elle l’a déjà fait deux ou trois fois. » CASTORIADIS, Cornelius. Le monde marcel. Seuil, Paris, 1990. p, 100.

We must work to live. This is the basic rule, the first of the social commandments, and the most unbreakable one. We have to work; in an office, in an auction house, at the sea or in the street; as masons, as seamstresses or lion tamers. The point is to have a job, a labor, to have a salary and a fixed money income every month; which is the ultimate goal: the money. Working is just a medium to get money. The ethic of the labor is no longer meaningful; working is no longer a value, nor a lofty activity in itself. The new commandment states: No job, no money; and if there is no money, then, it is not a job. We do not understand a job without a paying. It may be a whim, a hobby, houseworks, or studies, but not a job. The identification of the job with a paid work is already associated since the nineteenth century according to Marx Weber: the working activities that the male performed -which were related to money- were a labor; but the working activities that made their brides -which were not about money, but indispensable for their life- not. Since then, these latter activities have become invisible, and of course, labeled as a ‘not labor’. Thus, although it is degrading, it seems that what separates a job or a labor ,from a ‘not a job’ is just the tag which points out its price. The consequences that this entails are disastrous in many ways, as they contribute to the gradual but relentless dissolution of the community and the “social cohesion”, whose maintenance requires time, effort and dedication1. However, it does not change the fact that the job has a price, and therefore, it can be sold and purchased. But the price, apart from being linked to the job, is also connected to the person who performs the work itself; we are defined and characterized by the job, because basically, we are just the job we perform. The type of work we do -and its salary- is the decisive and fundamental factor that directs our lives; it defines the area in which we can move, the area in which we can relate and socialize, it defines our living standards, our itinerary of life. Thus, the job and the salary are the main reference points around which are planned and ordered all the activities of our life. The job and the money are the main center of our lives. And, what happens if we have not a job?, If we can not get a salary? Although what the future was holding seemed to be the universal labor, the technological progress has reached at the point where productivity grows in inverse proportion to the decrease of jobs. Economic growth in any of their current meanings, is always linked to the re-

placement of stable jobs by flexible workforce, to the replacement of job security by renewable contracts, jobs and temporary contracts and by staff reductions. All this comes down to the decline of jobs. This increasingly widespread notion implies a set of hirings and firings with little rules2. If we add this to the current economical crisis, we are in a situation without a choice, forced to accept jobs at any price for our basic survival, and dragged into a growing precariousness of life, because it seems that money is absolutely necessary to acquire the basic necessities for living; and as we already have mentioned: No job, no money. In addition, in government policies, the impact of the philosophies of Locke, Bentham or Young return resonating the repeated assertion (despite being already proved as not true) that the main cause of social precariousness will be overcome, by providing jobs. They keep promising incessantly new workstations, but in vain; because the future does not promise universal work, quite the contrary. Nevertheless, they continue spreading and selling the eternal lie, promising the impossible, without any attempt of even rethinking the functioning of the system nor the mechanics and the concepts of the job, work or labour. In these circumstances where besides, welfare states are in a continuing recession, the more the lives of the workers are being degraded, the more they are willing to sell their labor in exchange for the most miserable wages, because even the most miserable wages and the most grueling and tedious routine will seem bearable in exchange of the capacity to buy the everyday. This is the roulette in which we are caught today, which is moving in terms of the capitalist system. A system, which pursuing the economic benefits and progress, reduces the labor; a system that not only emphasizes the social differences, but which increases it, as the welfare state is being removed, and the rich are getting richer, while the workers’ life is each day more miserable. Thus, through this project we try to explore the insertion of new potential and possible alternative systems, extending the concept of work and labor beyond the accepted by the labor market, that is, beyond the mere means of obtaining money; or the implementation of the possible developments of other non-monetary based systems, where life does not turn only around the acquisition and the consumption of money, but around the community and people.

THE RADICAL SHARING

In order to it, we depart from a concept close to us, auzolan, which is the Basque name for a type of social organization based in the community which has been performed in the Basque Country since medieval times. Auzolan is the working system of a society organized in communities that perform different kind of services for public benefit. So, being a collective work or labor, both the land, and the infrastructures that the communities endowed for their subsistence, were considered communal property, and it was a meeting of the community, that determined when and who had to effectuate the performance, which could be also diverse in nature, including all the sorts of activities from building new roads to helping and supporting widows of the community. What is interesting within the concept auzolan is that beyond being a mere collective labor, in which they practice a radical sharing between all the components of the community, at the same time they were building and reinforcing again and again different commons through their activities, and so, following David Bollier, relinking the bonds of the community and people, by strengthening their identity. Bearing in mind the concept of auzolan, through this project we propose to present new alternatives to the current system using different artistic projects, whose fundamental bases are neither the money nor the price of labor, but the radical sharing. We propose new models of work, whose main purpose is not to make money, but to create and build collectivities, communities and alternative and parallel economies, taken advantage of the museum space, which is one of the few immune places today, where you can still perform activities and experiments -in the same time from the inside and outside of the system-, and test them, through new proposals and create new possibilities. With the intention of carrying it out not only theoretically, but of implementing as far as possible, the most part of the artistic projects we have selected for this curatorial project, apart from expressing the need for a new alternative system for the labor, the idea of the community making and the radical sharing, they are also projects related to participatory or community based art. But beyond being out projects with an attempt to make some changes in the reality, the importance of these practices fall on their conceptions of collective processes -as auzolan- instead of being individually made art works, although there are also exceptions. So, the artists are seen less as a single producer of objects, and their role is redefined as a collaborator or producer of situations that often have no clear beginning or end; and the audience, previously considered as a mere observer, is repositioned as a co-producer, participant or collaborator3. All these,

GARAZI ANSA / DANIEL PIZARRO

leads to create new opportunities for collective4 and community production processes. Thus, the works of art are no longer results of one single voice, but of collectives, and in many times, by the end of the process they became totally independent from the artist, and are run as independent and autonomous bodies by the co-producer community itself. So, we try to analyze, display and experiment with possible production and economical alternatives that may develop in the near future, bearing in mind the ongoing and seemingly unstoppable recession of the labor, not only in industry but in almost all the areas of the workplace, and the social precariousness which entails, with some artistic projects that fight on two fronts: from the concept of the artwork itself since most of them try to find new alternative ways of production, economy and community building; and from the format of the practices, because the format itself, which is based on co-productivity and collaboration, also exerts pressure on conventional modes of capitalist production5.

Although in some cases it happens only within the art system.

WALL OF NEEDS

Wall of Needs is an open and free platform for the visitors of the museum, which will be settled at the exhibition. The installation is constituted of two big blocks: “I need” and “I offer”. The people who are interested in, could be able to write their needs or offers by using diverse papers and drawing pins which will be available at the space. Thus, it will work as a tool or operator of free public exchange, in which different people, can offer and/or receive any kind of need without the intermediation of money. Somehow, our inspiration started with the Western or Wailing Wall, in which, among other types of prayers, praises and requests are common and continuous, both oral and written, as there is a great tradition of introducing them into the wall. We have reco-

vered the function of introducing requests on the wall, but in this case, rather than just having a chance of writing them, it will also be possible of acquiring them by people who can offer them. Besides, next to this one, there will be also another wall -the wall of offers-, for those willing to share something that is not still requested in the first one. This walls are not related to a divine faith but to our faith in people that constitute the diverse communities of Aarhus, and their willingness to want to work beyond the fact of getting money, and so, to begin to create or promote new meanings of work.

This is an ongoing project which consists in bringing together people from different academic disciplines. The goal is to exchange and interact on common interest subjects. With the aim of running a poll on the issues to be dealt with through mutual collaboration, we produced a number of mailboxes with a sign which read: INFILTRATE YOUR KNOWLEDGE, with the following instructions. 1. Write down on a piece of paper the topics you would like to share from your knowledge in an interdisciplinary context, and write down your e-mail so that we can get back to you. 2. The results of this first round will be communicated to the participants via e-mail and published in the campus newspaper and other periodicals from the field, for whomever might be interested.

WochenKlausur is an artist collective, who dedicates to organise projects to resolve society problems on a small scale. For it, they settle their office at the exhibition and analyse first the different problems of the city. Then, they propose a plan and show their results in the space. We will invite WochenKlausur for a month residency, in which they will carry out a project in Aarhus, on the current labor market situation. A WochenKlausur Office will be settled at the exhibition, in which they will be working during that month, and visitors will be able to discuss with the members of the collective about their concerns regarding the labor market in the city. Next to the office, there will be also some archive documents of other developed projects by the collective to be consulted by the visitors.

The project consists on a room and a reception inside the museum where people can enjoy light therapy. In these areas, both furniture and clothes are white and the lights are bright. The project was conceived in Sweden where many inhabitants suffer for Seasonal Affective disorder. Equally, the Light Therapy Room took place in a modern art museum at a time when art institutions were undergoing rapid change and being used in different ways. Light Therapy Room will be available to everybody during the opening hours of the exhibition, and it could also be reserved -for free- with a previous appointment by anybody who wants to use the space for a meeting. In this last specific cases, the Light Therapy Room will remain closed for other visitors.

In this series of drawings, Mads transformed 11 different common sayings, which include the words “money” and “time”. Every time a sentence would have the word “time” in it Mads would use “money” instead, and vice versa. The actual drawings, where the sayings are depicted are all made-up situations, where one could imagine the words being presented.

The Israeli-Dutch artist duo Gil & Moti offers their free services to Arab communities in their action-installation â&#x20AC;&#x153;Available for Youâ&#x20AC;? and document it with diverse photographs, drawings and videos. This Project was carried out in diverse cities, such as, Copenhagen, Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Stockholm. In Aarhus, we want them to activate their project in 15 days, by helping Arab communities of the city. Thus, the installation will be a combination of previous and new material, this last one, generated during their stay in Aarhus. The project will finish with a brunch-action and a talk in the exhibition. The artists want to leave aside the confrontation between the Jewish and Arab communities, and to evidence the coexistence and a hope for an egalitarian world. For implementing it, they carry out different cultural exchanges based on solidarity and the will of sharing experiences, instead of economical profit.
