USER’S MANUAL: THE GRAND DOMESTIC REVOLUTION
User’s Manual: The Grand Domestic Revolution is a year-long project developed as Casco’s contribution to Utrecht Manifest – Biennial for Social Design. The project deals with the evolutionary and collaborative process of “living” research in the contemporary domestic and private sphere – particularly in relation to the spatial imagining (or the built environment). It aims at re-articulating while exercising the notions of the social, the public and, eventually, the commons. For this purpose, an apartment in the Casco’s neighborhood (Bemuurde Weerd oz 18 b, Utrecht) is rented to be both a symbolic and functional base of the project. The actual use and transformation of space and multiple forms of activities in and out of the apartment intertwine with cross-disciplinary research and imaginative practices.

Coyotl Yournal – Archiving the Catalogue
Coyotl Yournal – Archiving the Catalogue
Lectures, interviews, projections and performances dealing with the importance of artistic research, critical graphic design and the need for archiving, documenting and collecting in the context of COYOTL Yournal.
With lectures by Nina Støttrup Larsen and Ben Laloua / Didier Pascal; an interview with Alexis Zavialoff (Motto distribution) ; a performance / video by Florian Feigl; Film screening: A Communications Primer (1953) by Ray & Charles Eames.
COYOTL is an artistic research publication series developed by Nicolas Y Galeazzi and Joël Verwimp. COYOTL aims to examine the performative action of space-production in collaboration with various artists and in different places and combinations. For this edition of the COYOTL workbook, graphic designer Manuela Porceddu has transformed her studio into an archive. She decomposed and indexed the previous COYOTL edition and added these findings into her archive. Together with six invited contributors, all visitors are invited to add, debate and discuss her archive or visit her temporarily studio where she will work on making the catalogue of this archive, which will form the new edition of COYOTL.

Support Structures / Book presentation
Support Structures is a manual for what bears, sustains, and props, for those things that encourage, care for, and assist; for that which advocates, articulates; for what stands behind, frames, and maintains: it is a manual for those things that give support. While the work of supporting might traditionally appear as subsequent, unessential, and lacking value in itself, this manual is an attempt to restore attention to one of the neglected, yet crucial modes through which we apprehend and shape the world . . .

Triple Canopy: The Medium Was Tedium
Triple Canopy: The Medium Was Tedium
Triple Canopy is an online magazine that explores how the Web informs the experience of reading literature and viewing artworks. The publication’s development has been inspired in part by a critical engagement with the legacy of Aspen magazine (1965-71). Artists and writers contributed projects to Aspen in the form of easily distributable media such as flip books, flexi-disc records, and paper sculpture. These projects coincided with a broader contemporaneous phenomenon: artworks intended to appear exclusively in magazines. The New Silent event, The Medium Was Tedium, examines how this move from the exhibition space to the printed page has been subsequently repeated by artists in relation to other media, such as television programming and the Internet. Triple Canopy’s editors will discuss practices that traverse mediums and the media with artists Mel Bochner, Daniel Bozhkov, and Erin Shirreff.
