A Preview: Anti Museumsnacht Event by DESEARCH REPARTMENT & BLAISE OTIUM
Fri 13 11 2015 / 19:00
Exhibition opening
In our changing world the concept of stability is becoming obsolete, says the Desearch Repartment. Their focus is on empowering global citizens with skills for successful living at the zenith of neoliberal capitalism. DR’s motto, “think fast, die less,” reminds us that flexible thinking is the key to survival. Should we believe them? The exhibition and event series turns Academyspace into the Institute for Durational Futures, the hub of the ESSENTIALHAPPINESSPOSSIBILITY, the new world order. Find out about the collected subjectivity of the art and political movement Neo-Lived Realism, the new spiritual exercise tradition called YAGA, the accessibility of the Third Space, and the security of Ein Rand/One Border. Get a foretaste of all this and more at Desearch Repartment’s special Anti-Museumsnacht Event on October 24, 2015, at 19:00. A lecture by happiness innovator Blaise Otium teaches the vital strategies of dedicated citizens of durational futures. A YAGA session will inspire flexibility, affirmation, and passivity. Free maps, colorful flags, coffee and more!
