The Public School Berlin

By: caleb

15-09-2010

We are excited to announce the opening of THE PUBLIC SCHOOL BERLIN. On 18 September at 19:00 we will hold an event at Program called The Future of THE PUBLIC SCHOOL BERLIN.

Earlier this summer THE PUBLIC SCHOOL organized a 13-day seminar in Berlin, There is nothing less passive than the act of fleeing… The seminar, meeting each day at a different location in Berlin, took the form of an open reading group, where the texts discussed each day resonated with the site selected. Please visit the project web site for more information on our activities and discussion topics: http://thepublicschool.org/thereisnothinglesspassive/thantheactoffleeing.html

*****

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL is a school with no curriculum. At the moment, it operates as follows: first, classes are proposed by the public (I want to learn this or I want to teach this); then, people have the opportunity to sign up for the classes (I also want to learn that); finally, when enough people have expressed interest, the school finds a facilitator and offers the class to those who signed up.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL is not accredited, it does not give out degrees, and it has no affiliation with the public school system. It is a framework that supports autodidactic activities, operating under the assumption that everything is in everything.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL was started in 2007 in Los Angeles by Telic Arts Exchange.

*****

There will be several things that take place at The Future of THE PUBLIC SCHOOL BERLIN:

1. A committee member of the THE PUBLIC SCHOOL LOS ANGELES will briefly discuss its history and how it operates.

2. We will have a discussion about how the school could work here and what shape(s) it could take.

3. We will create class proposals.

4. We will talk some more!

Please join us to find out more about the school and find ways that you can participate, including joining the committee (D.A.N.) to help run the school here.

If you have questions please get in touch. Also, please sign up for an account here and afterwards try proposing some classes. To see the activities happening at the other schools, please visit here.

Look forward to seeing you all this weekend!

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

-The readers are in Germany, but have not yet arrived, and may not before Sunday. Our first text is INTRODUCTION TO CIVIL WAR (sections 3 and four) by TIQQUN. It can be found here: http://aaaaarg.org/node/14607/download

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!

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
