18 19 #14 Clownscape Like in Landscape by Micha Goldberg and Martha T’Hooft (part of The Land of the Confused) 17 July 1955 was the opening date of the first Disney- land park. What have the architects, urban design- ers and city developers learned from that event in relation to the public space and especially in relation to parks? Not so much - maybe. Can the public space and our parks be more amusing? In the workshop ‘Clownscape Like in Landscape’ we are gonna work in relation to that question. We will be in the park, we will read, we will play, we will draw, we will build, we will eat. #15 Demon-u-mentalist game of tools by Sadrie Alves and Stan D’Haene (part of The Land of the Confused) How can we become accomplice in the making of the ring road in order to reveal its past to itself? If the ring road is the render then who are its ghosts? When roadies are players then what are the rules to the game? You decide design. In our workshop graffiti = design = game = infraculture = scores = script. One informs the other. We apply techniques from performance art and graffiti to work with the timespan and performed cultures of our workshop context. Walking around the ring with a carrying-bag, we look for existing cultures. Which cul- tures exist around the ring road? What are its rituals? What do they look like when scaled up (or down)? By meeting the multipliers of social, cultural and infra- structural action around the ring road, we may better understand its many meanings. Workshop = culture = performance. If culture is performed then who’s our audience? How do we perform as a group? The workshop is a mix of zooming in and out, getting up, collective collecting craze, ring run and celebration.
