In the event of a remote or digital meeting, it is anticipated that the locations of Members are understood as extensions of SSW.The collection must be considered, observant and meditative. On arrival at the Board meeting, human Members of the Board will collectively sweep the floor of the meeting room, collecting the dust in a shovel or dustpan.We, the working group, propose the following instructions in regards to how a shovel of dust off the floor can form a part of SSW's Board meetings: text from open call,, DIY 2020: That's Governance! The resulting conversations and proposal will ruminate on the performativity of personhood, eligibility criteria and barriers to governing, anthropomorphic hierarchies relating to non-humans, and considerations within collaborative decision making. The workshop responds directly to artist Jack Tan’s quotation that, “a truly queer, feminist, anti-racist, post-human Board would dance a tango with Governance– resisting, releasing, evading, acquiescing, rejecting”, and will expand outwards from SSW towards challenging broader conditions of governance. What can we achieve by heightening our grasp of organisational advice from non-human actors, and what can we complicate by attributing social purpose to phenomena as critical or reformative tools? The workshop is open to participants with keen interests in performativity and who want to embrace further affinities with deep ecology, queer theory, actor network theory and alternative structures of governance. Applying games and exercises in deep listening and roleplay with puppets, the workshop will encourage a playful response and challenge to the perceivably immovable conditions of governing. That’s Governance! invites participants to work together and propose a non-human candidate to hold a position on Scottish Sculpture Workshop’s Board of Trustees. Applications for this workshop are closed.ĭates: Friday 27 November - Sunday 29 November
