TPS Berlin Mailing List
We have setup a mailing list for “There is nothing less passive than the act of fleeing.” Click here to signup.
This is a discussion list for The Public School project, “There is nothing less passive than the act of fleeing.”
** What this list is for **
1. We will post any last minute details for or changes to meeting places here.
2. It will be the place for any follow-up discussion and some kind of daily summary.
3. A place where anyone else anywhere (including people at various Public Schools who are reading along or running parallel sessions) to participate as much as you want to – send responses, questions, provocations, photos, demands, etc.
Although it is entirely possible that this list will be a wasteland, with one message every day explaining exactly where to go and at what time, it is equally likely that the list will be hyper-active, bombarding your email inbox for the next several weeks. That will be part of the fun. When the project is over this list will be closed.
To send a message to everyone on the list, you can reply directly to this message or just send an email to fleeing@thepublicschool.org. If someone wants to be added to this discussion list, then just send us their address.
** What’s next **
-We are meeting this Sunday, 4 July at INSEL DER JUGEND IN TREPTOWER PARK. We will meet at 17:00 at the bridge and cross it together over to the island. Here is a link on the google map for the events: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=111162172991000092690.0004882558b261f0fd61d&ll=52.503266,13.40435&spn=0.134796,0.301437&z=12&iwloc=000489d578c05f9d5c020

or here: http://www.mediafire.com/?gnzwvgmu2ig
We will let you know when the readers arrive and where they can be picked up.
-Finally, in case you haven’t gone to the project web page recently, we’ve updated the locations and the google map: http://thepublicschool.org/thereisnothinglesspassive/thantheactoffleeing.html
Look forward to seeing and/or hearing from you!

The Page and the Screen June 29 at The Public School, Bétonsalon Triple Canopy editor Alexander Provan will facilitate this class examining print culture in the digital era: the potential that new technologies offer for renovating reading and viewing; historical precedents for the transformation of print, and related publics and art practices; and the evolution and disaggregation of what we’ve come to call publishing.

Then, on a different note, Berlin-based artist Jeremy Shaw will deliver a performative lecture on the history and future of laser technologies in and out of medical science, advanced weaponry, and visual culture. |

There is nothing less passive than the act of fleeing…
Deadlock: perpetual war, failing economies, the crumbling of education, capitalist realism, our environment in ruin, hostility everywhere.
Resistance? Confrontation? Insurrection?
Exodus: silence, autonomy, occupation, withdrawl, invisibility, friendship.
The Public School is organizing a 13-day seminar, meeting each day at a different location in Berlin. This seminar takes the form of an open reading group, where the texts discussed each day resonate with the site selected. On 18 July The Public School and The Office will host an event to be held at Salon Populaire. The day will unfold as a series of participatory conversations and workshops.
Please join us in Berlin or at The Public School to sketch, scheme and build new imaginaries. (Los Angeles,Philadelphia, New York, Brussels, Paris, San Juan, Helsinki)
Organized by Sean Dockray, Caleb Waldorf and Fiona Whitton
