28.07 - 01.08 2014
Über die Dauer von fünf Tagen werden 13 KünstlerInnen,
KuratorInnen und WissenschaftlerInnen das Frappant e.V. zum gemeinschaftlichen Lebensraum umwandeln. In Anlehnung an
Roland Barthes’ Untersuchungen zu Idiorrhythmie, welche das Klosterleben der
Mönche auf dem Berg Athos fokussierten, entwickeln die TeilnehmerInnen Strukturen
für das temporäre Zusammensein.

Following Roland Barthes' studies of the idiorrhythmic, which examine the everyday life of monks living on the Athos mountains, the participants of the Camp will develop structures for the week spent with one another, through the process of coming together.
