     Resource for Teachers | Library Of

     Collaborative Methods



     Dear teachers and students of collaboration,


     As residents at Eyebeam, Or Zubalsky and I have been
     developing an open access library of collaborative methods. With
     support from the New York Foundation for the Arts, today we are
     launching The Study Center for Group Work.

 

     We hope that teachers, art spaces, collectives, worker-owned
     businesses, art classes, and working-groups will use this online
     library of collaborative methods that have been recommended by
     artists. These methods often embrace the unknown, encouraging
     people to listen deeply enough to be transformed. We invite you
     to learn about collaborative methods, to access teaching
     resources, and to see the schedule for upcoming events and jobs
     related to collaboration.

      

     For example, here are some methods for:

  *

     group functioning  (Asset Mapping) (Diagram Hacking)

  *

     decision-making (Voting and Ranking)

  *

     role clarification (Threeing) (Questions for Schematic Theater)

  *

     healing and care (Support)

  *

     shared leadership (Leadership Compass)

  *

     communication (Intergroup Dialog)  (A Field Guide to Spatial
     Intimacy) (Hand Signals)

  *

     conflict resolution (Shark, Owl, Turtle, Teddy Bear, Fox)

  *

     reflection (Three-Line Matrix) (Group Self-Assessment)

  *

     analysis of images and systems (Project 404) (Mirror/Echo/Tilt)

  *

     and speculative futures (Objects as Fictions, The Alternative
     Unknowns)

      

     The artists who have contributed to this resource include:
     Leonard Nalencz, Shaun Leonardo, Robert Sember of Ultra-red,
     Project 404, Sick Time with Canaries, Judith Leemann, Kenneth
     Bailey and the Design Studio for Social Intervention, the
     Extrapolation Factory, taisha paggett and Ashley Hunt, Jean
     Gardner and the estate of Paul Ryan, Asha Iman Veal Brisebois
     and Adelheid Mers, Christopher Robbins, Aaron Landsman, Cori
     Olinghouse, Melanie Crean, and Chloe Bass, as well as curators
     Danielle Jackson, who facilitated a retreat for the group
     earlier this year, and Stamatina Gregory, who curated an
     exhibition at Cooper Union in 2016 that led to this site. You
     can see a video of that, here.

      

     If most people have no experience of democracy at work, at home,
     in school, or online, how can we learn to collaborate? How do we
     develop a musculature of shared decision making and of shared
     work?

      

     A few years ago, we began to notice that many visual artists had
     developed methods of listening and group work. Yet they did not
     have a way to share their work with one another or with the
     public. Just as dancers take classes throughout their lives,
     more and more visual artists are committed to group work through
     daily practice. We ran a pilot program that took the form of an
     exhibition called WOUND: The Study Center for Group Work,
     curated by Stamatina Gregory, at Cooper Union in 2016-2017. The
     Center was written up in The New York Times, Art in America, and
     Artforum; we knew it needed to continue. We are excited to share
     this online library of collaborative methods, and to announce
     that we will be working with Spaceworks at the New York Public
     Library to provide trainings throughout the year.

      

     Here is an upcoming workshop you can attend:

      

     Saturday, September 30, 5:00PM

      

     How can we support ourselves and each other? This workshop looks
     at the ways in which we meet our needs for wellbeing in order to
     dream, practice, and work on any project. Support extends beyond
     the life of our projects, often shaping the ways in which we
     navigate the contradictions of living and working on independent
     projects. Join us for a ?brain massage? and mutual connection.

     3-5pm at Spaceworks @ Williamsburgh Library, 240 Division Ave,
     Fl 2 Brooklyn, NY RSVP

      

     If democracy is an endless conversation, then The Study Center
     for Group Work aims to cultivate behaviors that allow groups to
     work together. To get in touch with us, or suggest a
     collaborative method, please email us at
     info at woundstudycenter.com. To join the mailing list, please

     In cooperation,

      

     Caroline Woolard and Or Zubalsky
