Co-LAB'08 is a joint project between Non Grata and protoPLAY, and brings a new group of UK based artists to work in Estonia alongside Estonian artists.
Co-LAB'08 focuses on a series of open-ended collaborative projects, and a rapid turnover or creation and public presentation. Questioning the notions of individual authorship, cultural-recycling and the taboo of plagiarism, the project takes individual works as a starting point for collaboration and attempts to build, from scratch, a collective identity - or at least, a shared creative space. Both the premise and the context aim to facilitate artistic risk, as well as time for reflection and conversation.
Co-LAB'08 is artist-led collaborative and hence open-ended. Its starting point is DECONSTRUCTION/RECONSTRUCTION which looks to mutate artist's individual work's into a group exploration. Deconstruction/Reconstruction looks and feels like a cross between an exhibition, a durational live art event, and a residency which is in a constant process of evolution as new pieces are made collaboratively in the space throughout the duration of the event, in response to the solo pieces of the individual artists.
