This is a workshop about the possibility of making unpleasant things disappear - not by magic but with tangible strategies and different approaches such as converting, dressing, painting over, concealing, digesting, tidying up, disposal, distraction tactics, etc.

In fact, it will be above all the many various personal and professional backgrounds of workshop participants themselves that shall teach each other new tricks.

What disappears can be an ugly view or something that gets in the way; it can be pollution, excess, aesthetical annoyance or other discomforts. Our re/creation can address problems in the private or professional sphere as well as in society or the environment. Pragmatically, our starting point is the place where we are and the time we live in.

Incidentally this is not about theorising but about practising and testing different strategies. Our goal is to abolish with sense and sensibility, to take action and develop responsibility for creation and recreation. Cleaning up the unnecessary before we disappear ourselves may be rewarding in process and leaves, as a side effect, a vibrant and energising void for the next to come.
