THE VOID 08 | An audio-visual Research on Dutch Art Spaces and Self-organization
In this episode, THE VOID hosts the collective Timeis.capital which runs an online platform for audio-visual research on self-organization. This project consists of interviews with the people who run self-organized spaces and 3D scans of these (often ephemeral) spaces — project spaces, antikraak, squats and living rooms. Its aim is to collect practice-based knowledge and strategies that are produced in the ephemeral landscape of artist-run initiatives — in order to strengthen the non-institutional art world and generate new energy for self-organization.

Galerie de Jaloezie (Rotterdam, NL)
Peach (Rotterdam, NL)
Boo2 (Amsterdam, NL)

THE VOID BLOG | Looking at Expanded Audio-Visual Publishing for Open Collaborations
By Mathilde Hjelle and The Void Team
What is the goal of all this, ultimately? For THE VOID the ambitions are not just short-term collaboration, but rather to construct something useful and sustainable. While projects and videos have a definitive timeline of production, the knowledge and experience we gather do not. Collective knowledge-making does not move into post-production and the final stage, it is always in development. Thus, we are reaching for means to archive and share our experience for future projects to come, both of our own and from others. We seek to blur the boundaries between formats to create a transformative agenda that expands publishing for practice-based research.
