Neanderthal Cave School invites you to join us for a performative walking and mindfulness session on Thursday, June 1, at 6:00pm.
The upcoming session is the first public scetch for Neanderthal Cave School’s exhibition-residency at The Contemporary Art Museum Estonia, due to start in September.
If the artworld is a model of reality, then how do we, artists, participate in creating social and political reality? Now that criticality has become a set of tropes employed to signal belonging to a professional inner circle rather than a practice addressing social issues, does contemporary art still hold any potential as a prototype for a new reality? How to be together when our selves have broken down into various user profiles?
We’ll meet at 6:00pm in front of Puänt book store (Pärnu mnt 4). The session will begin with a brisk walk and will continue with a guided meditation. In the end of the session, a discussion over refreshments will take place.
Please dress comfortably. You may bring walking poles, dumbbells or sandbags. We recommend that you bring a small plaid, blanket, shawl or just a warm cardigan for meditation. Attention: the guided meditation will take place in Estonian, so for non-Estonian speakers, this will be a chance to experience an immersive language listening session.
Operating since 2015, Neanderthal Cave School is an art project, using artists, gallery spaces, visitors, control and togetherness amongst other things as materials.
