KONVERSEUM – Rum för möjliga samtal
KONVERSEUM – Space for possible conversation
Summary
KONVERSEUM is a materialization of our thoughts on conversation and dialogue and how they connect to, and have similar structures as the idea of play as we understand it. We try to combine the ideas of a good conversation to the way rules for play are set up as they are fluid and dependent on the will of all participants to keep playing, rather than ending the game by winning.
We are testing the term conversation-play (samtalslek) as a way to participate in dialogue and the space of Konverseum as a place where the conversation-play can take place.
The exhibition was set up as a constructed square space within the gallery of ℅ Rydal´s rather irregular space. The room consists of three new walls in a wooden frame standard CC60 structure measures 5 x 5 meters connected to one solid wall to the gallery. The three new walls are open and possible to walk through though there is an entrance in the solid wall.
A thin steel wire runs along all the wooden walls and on it little steel clips hold papers with texts and ink line drawings.
