Adriana Eysler

November 22nd, 2007

It makes no sense for me to separate research, designing, writing and other (seemingly) more random things - together these activities form a practice that is genuinely interested in the relevance and potential of cultural production (be that design, graphic, artistic, literary or other).Increasingly my focus wanders to a form of practice that voices and/or facilitates dissent, that offers alternative modes of working, living, communicating, learning, participating that are not based on commodification and capitalization, but conviviality, multiplicity and democracy. For design this means not to stand in the service of the market, but the public.

Many aspects of my work don’t take on material form, but take place (and remain) in dialogues with students, colleagues, friends and allies.Here dialogue becomes a ‘material’ to work with and utilize, a means and an end. In this sense research and practice are undertaken collaboratively and in an ongoing process within and outside of institutions, working-hours and commissions. This kind of practice/research is by default not necessarily publishable, conductive within the (temporal, economic and textual) scope of research funding bodies, conclusive or saleable, but is foremost shared and lived/living. Other aspects may take shape in more concrete forms, such as installations, texts, graphic
design…
