| Workmeeting Converse The workmeeting Converse was an experiment in cooperation between visual artists, academics from philosophy and language and the invited audience. It is the first project conducted by the artists initiative 16:2. Research: communication within arts Structure: A number of young international visual artists are invited to react on and intervene in the direct surroundings of 16:2, situated in a small village near the eastern shore of the Swedish island Öland. The village offers relics of ancient rural life but also the rooms of modern agriculture with production of milk, meat, vegetables etc. By the village lays protected natural areas with ancient oak forest, Hazel woods and a wet mark, being restored in coordination with the world nature fond. 2.5 km away lays the East sea cost. The participating artists are asked to create visual temporary or permanent artworks in conversation with this environment. Visual arts deals with visual language, but to a certain extent, it is often necessary to add spoken or written information to an artwork to reach full impact. There is a story next to the story. Parallel to this an evening program will be held. The topic for these evenings is how we can use spoken language as a bridge to works of visual art. During these discussions we explore the possibilities and shortcomings of the conversation for this purpouse. Joining us in these evening meetings is a philosopher and a journalist (who is also writing an article on the workmeeting). In this research, we relate directly to the visual art works in process around us, dealing with the specific stories from each participant arising during the week. The philosopher and the journalist will bring into the conversations their experience of communicating abstract matters. The conditions for mutual trust within the group are built up during the week by means of the practical work over a shared theme in the daytime and joined preparation of food with base ingredients from the farm every evening. This family-in-large structure enhances the human social characteristics of communicating in order to be understood instead of playing rhetorical games of winning. It serves our initial aim of using language in living dialogue to make bridges and not raise walls in the conversation over contemporary art. The final part of the workmeeting is taking place on the sixth day, August 7, on 16:2. On this day we will continue the research in dialogue with an invited audience. The stories developed verbally receive equal attention as the visual ones, withdrawals from conversations of the evening meetings will be incorporated in the presentation of the visual works. In the final evening; Conversation with the visiting audience, we hope to see how the stories developed during the foregoing week once again will convert and get re-made in order to function outside the initiated group. Experiencing this process and giving room to reflect over it, is one important research conducted in the workmeeting. Organized by: Mathieu Vrijman (www.mathieuvrijman.com) and
