Helene Duckert Considering collegial exchange, informal peer-to-peer/practice-to-practice learning, and attempts at friendship as a fundamental part of our remit, UKS introduced a new, weekly walk-in-workshop in January 2019, called HOW TO PRACTICE? Starting off the workweek every Monday morning at 10am during exhibition periods, rotating local and international practitioners in the cultural field teach their conspicuous version of this essential question, serving up their tricks and toolboxes, fears and desires, excel sheets, or yoga positions as UKS serves free coffee. For UKS' fourteenth walk-in-workshop, Oslo-based artist HELENE DUCKERT (b. 1988) will ponder, among other questions, the central inquiry: How does your "Clark Kent-lifestyle" influence your artistic practice? Duckert works with discarded objects, detritus, and obsolete materials scavenged around the city, creating assemblages and installations that function as personal comments on contemporary living. Giving guided tours as well as functioning as a writer and a critic, she will further discuss how these activities inform her artistic processes. #14 How to Practice? took place on 27.05.2019 www.uks.no/archive/how-to-practice/ https://www.uks.no/archive/14-htp-helene-duckert/
