Pankaj Tiwari - TENT: a school for performative practices

This is a school which imagines, reimagines and creates real structures and prototype new institutions, new ways of working and create possi

How to change these institutions? Within the structure and institution, Can we really support these ways of thinking and thoughts? Can we create an institution, which is non-white? What will it look like? What will be its practices? All these questions started coming to me, from others as well as from myself.

We are going to build an institution having diversity at the centre of it. An institution that does not exploit people’s identity to capitalise on it. Rather, it would like to create a structure where diverse identities can feel a sense of belonging, a space of mutual learning, a sense of ownership, a sense of home, a better support structure, space where the stakeholders have more unproductive time and less bureaucracy. [...] This is how we imagine, we can not be sure whether this is best or this is worst, the only thing we claim, that we want to try this and create this as a practice-based research space and a space of learning. TENT itself wants to be a learning space.

I invite you all to join me, building this base through ideas of schooling, reshaping institutions, thoughts, and physical labour to dig the land and make the base.

The Lost Rolls America Archive

...Lost Rolls America Archive, a project led by NYU professor Lauren M. Walsh, and photojournalist Ron Haviv. The gist is that Fuji offered to develop and scan one roll of lost or forgotten film from anyone in America. All you had to do was dig the film canister out of your couch cushions, or the back of your fridge, and send it in...

Ishinomaki Laboratory was established in 2011 just after the tsunami seriously destroyed part of the city. A group of people started to gather to collect ideas on reconstruction and recovery. Soon the idea of using DIY as a resource to rebuild the city emerged, and that’s how the Ishinomaki Laboratory was founded.

Today it is the world’s first DIY furniture manufacturer and still a source of positive energy for the local community.

For the fifth Making Space workshop, we adventured to the arctic. We recycled materials such as shredded paper, silver trees, shoe boxes, and polystyrene to create our icy world. In it, we had snow fights, built a giant igloo, listened to the blizzards, and licked ice-lollies to feel the cold sensation shiver right through us. The space was doused in blue light . Everything the light touched, it turned to ice! A huge projection of falling snow was used to make us feel like we were in a real snow storm. We used white scrunched up paper and polystyrene to create the effect of a settled blanket of snow across the floor of the whole space. Watch the video to see the making our our wintery landscape!

Week # 2 of the Making Space Project.

The second in our series of workshops explored the observation of ourselves and each other. A maze of transparent Perspex and light was installed. Having experimented with poses, we created dramatic shadows and reflections. Our silhouettes were cast around the room and onto sheets of tracing paper. We spent some time drawing around the shapes we were making with our bodies.  By removing the barrier of the tracing paper, we created new invisible boundaries. We drew directly onto the Perspex, capturing each others positions and expressions. This created an inspiring installation of images that floated about in the dark space.

We hung a number of perspex sheets that measured up to 6ft in length.  We did this both horizontally and vertically, to give a varied landscape.  We simply hung the sheets by drilling the corners and hanging them with high grade fishing wire.  They looked beautiful and very majestic in the space, almost seeming like they were suspended mid-air.  When we walked in amongst the maze of perspex, we found it quite disorientating, as it was quite difficult to figure out where the barriers were to our pathways.  This forced us to have to think about the steps that we were taking and be conscious of our movements.  We again used a portable 3000 lumin projector to back-light the space, spilling muted colour and movement across the maze.  This was particularly effective when tracing paper was attached to the sheets for us to to cast silhouettes and draw onto, as it caught and amplified the projection.  LED lighting up-lit the perspex and exaggerated the chalk pen’s colours, making them seem almost luminous and forced them to jump out of their canvas.  The perspex maze came to life when we lit the space fully and stood back from our creation.  Lights danced and skipped across the shimmering surfaces, and mind-bending depths of field were created as we viewed our drawings through layers of others.
