What makes a collective?

What are the conditions, that a Collectif can come into being and sustain itself?
It can be simple ideas, but with the right approach and people, those can be exploited in a rich and fun way as well.
The Stammtisch as a form of collective longing for community
Tensions between individuality and artistic freedom and normalising in a collective (in materiality and organisations)
What different forms can collectives take? How does size, scope, locality, ideals and all of those things influence shape and outcome of a collective
Collectives as forms of communities for post-artschool-people
Creating possibilities for serendipity and lo-key exchange
collectives revolting against the art system and creating safe and caring spaces
revolting against the drive to create art that sticks and stays forever, having less stress and more spontaneity, resting in the moment
The collective is actually also just a knot in a larger rhizomatic network of people going after doing their things
Breaking the art context through the materiality of the exhibition space, making the audience feeling at ease and at home

Stammtisch

I’d love to think more about this concept.
