DAI-bulletin 2008-2009 number one September 2008
This is the first issue of the monthly DAI-bulletin in the academic year 2008-2009, informing you about our program, important dates and events.
Please scroll to THIS TIME IT IS PRIVATE for information on current presentations and exhibitions by alumni, students and faculty.
///////// DAI Week September 2009 /////////
Instead of asking its master students to come to 'school' on a weekly base the DAI offers an alternative educational environment: during one week a month (so 11 times per year), everyone who is involved in DAI stays in Enschede day and night and takes part in a rich programme consisting of lectures, seminars, projects, excursions, workshops, and evaluations of his or her own work, which lasts from early morning until late at night. During the DAI week, cooks prepare the afternoon and evening meals that staff, students and guest lecturers from all over the world take in the cosy canteen. During the week participants in the programme spend the night at one of the two DAI houses in the centre of Enschede.
WEEK 38
Monday September 15 - friday 19
On Monday September 15nd at 11 hours the year at the DAI will start with the workshop ‘No stress, and perhaps nothing serious’ by artists Sanne van Rijn and James Beckett.
During the introduction week we will also give you a more extended introduction to the institute and staff as well as more information about relevant practicalities regarding studying and staying at the DAI.
Please be prepared for a stress-free week (it is a rare occasion for me to write this), for group lunches, group dinners, sleeping at the DAI-houses, for the chance to get to know each other and for all other things this week will bring…
Sanne and James will personally give you further information about the workshop on Monday, but in the meantime please make sure that you are at the DAI in time and do not forget your ‘shoebox with objects, clippings from under your bed and an inspiring video or sound’!!!!

“Swing”
September 20th, 2008 at 5 pm.
“Swing” will be on display until 26th of September on the corner of Wybrzeże Szczecińskie and Okrzei Street, Warsaw, Poland. Installation is a part of DAI alumnus Kamila Szejnoch’s public space project “Carousel Slide Swing”.
The project Carousel Slide Swing aims to pursue a dialog with memorials that served as communist propaganda. Although such memorials have been consigned to the historical scrap heap, we can still meet them in the streets and parks. To suggest a change in the function of the monuments is an attempt to build a bridge between the present and the past, to add a contemporary layer distinct from their original style and function. For example the idea of Swing is based on a contrast between the monumental bronze Berling Army Soldier and a tiny individual swung by a big hand of history. It is a monument from a former era, but at the same time - from the Berling Army soldier’s point of view - it is a well-deserved tribute paid to his sacrifice. This is an example of how much history can differ from the perspectives of individual and collective memory. My aim is to make this complexity and ambiguity more conspicuous, to show the relation between an individual versus the historical machine. [K.S.]
