Running as Connective Practice?
(2024)

published in: Fontys Academy of the Arts
In this exposition, Falk Hübner and Heleen de Hoon share the process and reflections of their collaborative research project "Running Tilburg". In this project, Falk aimed to connect to an urban surrounding by means of long distance running.
In September 2021, Falk Hübner started his work as professor of Artistic Connective Practices at Fontys Academy of the Arts in Tilburg, The Netherlands. Together with dramaturge Heleen de Hoon, he decided to get to know and connect to the city and the new surroundings by running it, and explore running as a connective practice - literally through spending time with feet on the ground.
Heleen and Falk asked a group of colleagues, all living in the city, to share places to run by, and related stories to these places. Guided by these stories Falk and Heleen created a map and a script for a 53K run, documented by video, photos and field notes. Rather than presenting conclusive findings and final reflections, the purpose of this exposition is to share the documentation of the process and the experience. Thus, we understand the project and this exposition quite literally as a first step to lead to potentially next and new steps.

This publication presents the outcomes of the Connective Symposium, which took place at Fontys Academy of the Arts in Tilburg, in November 2022. The symposium was the first time that the professorship and research group Artistic Connective Practices, initiated in 2021, opened its work to the international field: We invited practitioners from all over the world to share their work and exchange about the concept of "artistic connectivity".
"Artistic Connectivity Unfolding" is an attempt to share the experiences during the symposium with the broader artistic research audience, and to contribute to the body of artistic research work that is socially engaged. The exposition is potentially many things: In part, it is a piece of documentation of the symposium, in part reflections on and proceedings of it. It is also an explorative contribution to our emerging and unfolding discourse of artistic connectivity, — unfinished, fluid and moving — and thus a springboard for our future work on artistic connectivity.

The Green Man - scientific and artistic reflection on environmental issues

This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
„The Green Man“ art work is based on a real environmental research that was conducted on invasive tropical algae from the Adriatic Sea which belong to the most invasive species on the Earth. These algae are dangerous because they produce toxic compounds that destroy native species causing reduction in biodiversity and marine life. Despite its harmful effects on ecosystems, animal and human health the monitoring of these species in Croatia has been terminated due to lack of financial support. Through human body and circulatory system, this art work discusses fundamental issues present in research practice. Links in the work represent touch-activated voice lines that reveal the truth and actual state of scientific and artistic research practice.
