Field Essays
Research project
The design process unveiled.

A new series of journals about the dynamics of design processes,  
initiated and curated by Sophie Krier, first issue on LucyandBart.  
Field Essays maps the work and the motives of innovative design  
practices and engages them with the ideas of contemporary thinkers.  
Field Essays works in a practical manner, by acting as a critical and  
reflective backdrop to the production of new work.

Field Essays was conceived within the context of the Research Group of  
the Professorship of Art and Public Space of the Gerrit Rietveld  
Academie, Amsterdam.

It is made possible by The Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts,  
Design and Architecture.

ICI Casa Ville Inventive
Artistic Residency Aug 20-Oct 20 2010, Casablanca.
facebook.com/casa-ville-inventive

ICI is the result of a collective artistic residency of six designers  
based in the Netherlands, who decided to live and work for two months  
in Casablanca, Morocco. The project is initiated by the Dutch Ambassy  
of Rabat in the context of the celebration in 2010 of 400 years of  
economic relations between The Netherlands and Morocco.

The starting point of ICI was to come empty handed and open minded to  
Casablanca and to put together the whole exhibition from scratch,  
using the city as an instant source of inspiration and production. A  
series of workshops, lectures, and debates in collaboration with local  
design schools, heritage foundation Casamémoire and the Fabrique  
Culturelle (the new cultural factory of Casa, situated in a former  
slaughterhouse complex), formed a substantial reflective and educative  
component of ICI.

The title ICI refers to HERE, and at the same time to ELSEWHERE (where  
we come from). HERE is the only thing we have. HERE and nowhere else.  
Once diffused in public space however, ICI changes meanings  
constantly. The residency culminated in a dynamic exhibition in the  
heart of the former Eglise du Sacre Coeur. ICI was conceived as a city  
within a city and during the two weeks it was opened, it functioned as  
a discussion and meeting place, and a resting place for passers by and  
students of the surrounding art schools.

ICI wants to stay in Casa. Therefore all scenographic elements have  
been donated to the Fabrique Culturelle for future use in cultural  
events. Plans are underway with partners KHK Extramuros, La Fabrique  
Culturelle and Casamemoire, among others, to set up future exchanges  
and studies, so as to pick up on what ICI started.
