Praksis Development Forum 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 the nineteenth walk-in-workshop, UKS has invited PRAKSIS Development Forum (PDF) to flip the format around by inviting the audience to present their practices in a group-sharing format. This iteration crosses the barrier between institutional islands and artistic isolation, opening a door for dialogue and interaction between friends and strangers. PDF is a monthly discussion group run by practicing artist Sayed Sattar Hasan and forms part of PRAKSIS’s public program. Outside his immediate practice, Hasan is interested in creating meeting points where artists can talk openly about their practices and learn about the work and artistic processes of others. #19 How to Practice? took place on 09.09.2019 www.uks.no/archive/how-to-practice/ www.uks.no/archive/19-htp-praksis-development-forum/
