Working with visual artists at an Open Space

Hi Reinhard and all

 

Your question describes very accurately my feelings of deep unease when it
comes to how people of many "open space" institutes (such as Learning
Organizations or Chaordic Alliance, for example) treat artists and their
invaluable contributions all the while using the concept of artistic
behavior to describe the new and innovative ways of doing business and how
the new leadership in all walks of life should learn from jazz musicians,
designers and architects. Yet, when you check how many artists are actually
comprising the active leading teams of all those organizations all you will
find is more of the same business and all old school management people who
have suddenly realized how profitable is to sell their Ferrari after you
moved your cheese out of the artists way. For most of those artists opening
space is a daily and routine activity, done mostly with the deep visceral
knowledge of how to balance content and form in the best possible way within
a context of a given composition. And this is precisely because this
knowledge is not based on mental conception there is such a deep distrust of
any input coming from feelings and the senses, so I am not surprised a bit
to hear that we are the addendum that one should be careful about as we
might bring some true innovation and insights and tip the balance against
the dominance of the ruling literary and word oriented elite.

 

All the best

Hi Chris, and all you others,

 

I was hoping that your question would open a dialog I was seeking since
years. Since years I am on this OS list, feeling that you and me are seeking
for the same treasure in and on similar ways.

 

But then I get Harrison's "One caution about visual artists and other such
addendum" and ask me, and ask you: Are you, like me, an addendum to the
process of self organizing people, helping them a bit as we can with our
tools, or are you the high priests and I am the addendum?

 

 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

best regards

 

Reinhard

Betreff: Working with visual artists at an Open Space

Hi mates:

I have an opportunity coming up in the fall to work with a visual artist for
an Open Space I am doing.  The clients wants us to work together and I'm
excited by the possibility, but haven't ever done that before.  

So what kind of good stories do you have of working with visual artists (and
visual art as a modality) in Open Space.

Daniel?  Reinhardt?  Is Nancy Margulis around?  Others?

Chris
