Prompt 12: Sitting on reuse
Hosting a work session also means to care for people, such as prep how the space can accomodate the different needs and desires of participants coming to do the work of Revisit Reuse. We invited artist Flo*Souad Benaddi to develop situated spatial interventions that could support the working group in this task.
Flo*Souad sow a set of cushions from reclaimed fabrics - that he screen printed with layers of CC4r, Free Art Licence and other conditional documents in fluo-colours.
What does this prompt do? It does not only support you by softening your sitting on hard wooden chairs, it also makes the licence documents much more tangible and less abstract.
The layered presence of the bright coloured and printed paragraphs allows for new discoveries and connections, while the persistant “being in touch” of your bum or back with the licence documents means a “staying with the trouble”.
