CCC (2022)
CCC (Creating Camp of the Contemporary or Courteney Cox Courgette) is an ongoing artistic research, performative writing and workshop project, initiated by Levi van Gelder and Heleen Mineur in 2021. The project explores ways to assemble an interpersonal archive (of references, interests, consumed media, personal stories, research, found footage, a.o.) and to use this as a pool of content to counterfactually interact, speculate and create with.
This finds its shape in the production of experimental video work, writing and publications, but also in the sharing of these developed tools in educational contexts. We developed a workshop that converts the tools that we employ in CCC into scores, by which participants learn how to assemble, reassemble and activate their web of inspirations through re-translating into scripts, characters, and (essentially) creating fanfiction in various media. Collaboration is integral to the workshop; we want to create co-writing moments that are playgrounds for transference of thought and (failed) adaptation.
Our aim is to lay bare the many paradoxes of current times; celebrating its abundance and entropy. We want to explore the sensibilities of a post-truth era as an homage or extension of the lineage of camp. The project aims to reclaim and re-appropriate narratives inside and outside the (often) copyrighted content of late capitalism by giving contemporary issues a voice, a smell and perhaps even a set of lyrics.
Workshop developed during residencies at Workspace Brussels and BUDA Kortrijk. Workshop hosted at MA Design Department, Sandberg Institute, Amsterdam (2023) and MA Artistic Research, KABK, The Hague (2023).
