Tabling institutional disorientations
This act consists of revealing the main rules that guide our group installation and series of acts. Often overlooked as background, the rules will be displayed in rolls of paper, physically engaging with what is already on the table and adding new relationships to an emerging ecology of design research practices. Each day, new rules will be revealed, inviting spontaneous participation and contemplation at any time throughout the event.The act builds on a practice-based inquiry of collaborative, critical and imaginative engagements with institutional socio-materials, in the context of a design school and a government branch in Brazil. By articulating a practice of patainstitutioning, this investigation reflects on the dynamics of reproduction and deviation of designing within institutions.
Distabling institutional orientations is conducted by the designer and researcher Isabella Brandalise, currently a PhD candidate based in Naarm (Melbourne).
