(E)valuation Research - Timelined

2008 Disclosures: Budget Management ResourceCamp - Cinzia's inspirational Personal Balance Sheet The Personal is Economical And our Resource Management Guidlines 2010 03-05 December CP attends Critical Malfunction at Alternative in Gdansk Our preoccupation with value begins to emerge. This tracks with broader trends. It seems the 'age of austerity' has got us all thinking about the value of things. Marsha is also becoming interested in the ways in which labours/practices are differently valued, the interplay and hierarchy of emotional labour and intellectual labour, etc. 07-09 December CP attends CREATIVE INDUSTRIES AND KNOWLEDGE FACTORIES There is more talk about the value of art: What it is? Where does it reside? Kuba starts talking more explicitly about value; Valeria Graziano of Carrot Workers Collective talks about 'value markers'...these are things that convey value, so help us to recognise value 2011 15 January Kuba and Marsha meet with Artur Zmijewski to discuss CP's practice in relation to his curation of Berlin Biennial in the summer of 2012 (BB7) He's in town for Art: What is the Use?. Early 2011 We establish Art and Value working group, and begin developing a proposal for BB7 proposal. This is preoccupied with the 'the results' of art. But it seems that 'effects' is closer to how Zmijewski is thinking about this in Polish. May CP develops the Market of Values proposal, which is rejected by the BB7 curatorial team... (thinking about a shift from value to evaluation) 11 July Free Slow University of Warsaw Research Camp 'Without Money' - Marsha and Kuba develop Critical Economic Practice for BB7 or CEP for short.
