Arts
JON GOROSPE 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 twenty-first walk-in-workshop, Oslo-based artist JON GOROSPE (b. 1986) will talk about the different paths he has taken to end up in the art field, including his early studies in mechanics and a background in the engineering world. He asks the question of how this has influenced his research, the different techniques he uses to display his work, and how he collaborates with other artists to generate collective creation spaces. Gorospe works mainly with photography and in the last years has focused on the idea of contemporary landscape. His relationship with arts materializes in mainly three different ways—through solo projects, collaborations, and in the field of cultural management—spheres that are later hybridized and conjugated. #21 How to Practice? took place on 23.09.2019 www.uks.no/archive/how-to-practice/ www.uks.no/archive/21-htp-jon-gorospe/
