AC SCHOOL
AT DOCUMENTA FIFTEEN
In Kassel, the collectives materialize under the common umbrella of Arts Collaboratory School (AC School), sharing the acquired practice and knowledges of the network and its members. AC School comprises an array of initiatives that unfold in ruruHaus, Trafohaus, and a range of spaces that otherwise spring to life for the purpose of different projects. Based on the idea of openness and exchange and bringing together a diversity of “times and spaces,” AC School has set up, among others, a radio station, a newsroom, a living room-library, as well as a presentation of printed materials across the city of Kassel and a series of meetings, including cooking sessions.
Arts Collaboratory’s tool for communicating content, known as the TAM-TAM, a hybrid newsletter and magazine, has been transformed into documentamtam, available online on the collective’s website. Several issues have been published before the 100 days of the exhibition connecting the experiences of the network to that of the lumbung members and artists on collectivity, collective pots, assemblying, shared political struggles, and artistic practice that is entangled with the social.
This is a collaborative publication made by the Arts Collaboratory Ecosystem’s AC School Working Group, as part of our participation in documenta fifteen.
We believe in the practice of collective listening, conversation and sharing as tools for learning and unlearning.

For the 100 days we will harvest collectively the reflections, feelings and affections that raise from our participation and sharings at documenta fifteen.

«Itacate» (from Nahuatl itacatl) refers to the homemade food that accompanies us on a road or trip. In Mexico, it is a common word for take-out food that we prepare as an act of love, care and generosity.
Instead of dividing or differentiating, exhibition in AC School is a space to empower and define what makes our togetherness. We are thinking of an alternative exhibition that works like a collectively organized party. Someone is making a playlist while the others are cooking. The decorations are being prepared and the neighbors are involved too. The party theme is being developed as we are in constant dialogue between each other.
Code as Commons proposes an activation and reactivation of the idea of the commons through code-based experiences and a common involvement-participation.
Around the hosting artists group, try to build the necessary information and practical steps and strategies to invite people from our ecosystems to “study”, share and join us at documenta fifteen.
