Lottie Child

Apr 25th 1300

For nearly thirty Charles Koroly have
been creating set designs and costumes
for opera, dance, performance and
theater. He has worked with virtually
every major theater in the country and
have collaborated with several of our
most renowned directors, including
Ingmar Bergman. He is also curator at
Rolf de Mars Dansmusuem in
Stockholm.
The artist Lottie Child works and lives
in London. Her practice includes
participatory, live art explorations of
public space, utilising strategies of
collaboration and spontaneous
interaction. These strategies can be
conceived as urban survival skills for
the twenty first century that explore
notions of play, the politics of the
urban built environment, risk taking
and the use of new technologies.
Through her work, people are invited
to share their expertise and subjective
responses to the notions of freedom of
movement and anti social behaviour in
increasingly sanitised and controlled
urban environments. Previous projects
include Guerrilla Gardening, Tannoy
Hijacking, Guide to Risk in the City,
Hi5 Game for Cyclists and Climbing
Club. Since 2000 her practice has
included gallery and art education, as
well as residencies and live art events
both nationally and internationally.

Otto von Busch is a DIY-demagogue,
Assistant Professor of Integrative
Fashion at Parsons the New School for
Design, and at Konstfack University
College of Art, Craft and Design in
Stockholm. In his research he explores
the emergence of a new hacktivist
designer role in fashion, where the
designer engages participants to
reform fashion from a phenomenon of
dictations and anxiety and fear into a
collective experience of empowerment
and liberation. Taking inspiration from
various forms of social activism, this is
an engaged and collective process of
enablement, creative resistance and
DIY practice, where a community
share and develop new capabilities of
craftsmanship for social engagement.
In this practice, the designer engages
participants to reform fashion into a
collective experience of empowerment,
in other words, to make them become
fashion-able.
