Casco Issues XII - Generous Structures

The latest issue of the biannual publication from the public "art think-tank" Casco, based in The Netherlands, explores the notion of playfulness itself as a method and value in cultural practice, positioning it to contrast with fashionable ideologies like "lifelong learning" and "work as play." The publication addresses the impact of the notion of play and gaming methods in cultural work, [exploring connections between text and images and addressing the various research methods to question the historical shift in the concept of the game and playfulness.] Casco, Office for Art, Design and Theory, is devoted to studying art in the public realm, and the relation between art and the physical, social and political environment.

Ultimul numar al publicatiei semestriale din „think-tank-ul public” Casco, cu sediul in Olanda, exploreaza notiunea de ludicitate ca metoda si valoare in practica culturala, pozitionand-o in contrast cu ideologiile la moda precum „invatarea pe tot parcursul vietii” si „functioneaza ca joc”. Publicatia abordeaza impactul notiunii de joc si metode de joc in munca culturala, [explorand conexiunile dintre text si imagini si abordand diferitele metode de cercetare pentru a pune la indoiala schimbarea istorica a conceptului de joc si ludicitate.] Casco, Office for Art , Design si teorie, este dedicat studierii artei in domeniul public si a relatiei dintre arta si mediul fizic, social si politic.
