The Mariebjerg textile
We investigate and develop co-creative working methods in the first-year programme Taking Place.
We use The Mariebjerg Textile to examine relationships between maps, mapping, and place as spatial, bodily, and collective fieldwork practice. We set up a clear framework to directly involve students in each other’s learning and production. We focus on rapidly shifting between individual and collective tasks and alternating between various tools and approaches.
The students cannot withdraw into themselves but must act, react, rewrite, overwrite, share and help one another. The aim is to experience a form of cohesion and, in some cases, collective intuition so that they pull together as a unit. Nothing is stupid, and failure is impossible. The approach is based on an interest in finding, not inventing; in absorbing, not performing; and in listening, not resolving.
