-  Rocketboat Day 1 is a participatory event where people build little boats, power them with rocket engines and race them to see which one gets the furthest. The inaugural event took place on a nice, calm bit of water somewhere on the Brussels to Charleroi kanal. Let's find out what happens when a C6 model rocket engine is attached to a boat made out of anything you can get your hands on. The cool breeze off the water will blow the sweet acrid smoke across your face like a lovers caress.    <a href="http://fo.am/rbd" rel="nofollow">fo.am/rbd</a>    Rocketboat Day is an evolution of the established tradition of Rocketcar Day.

 At the epicentre of culture, gardening and technology we might be able to glimpse how plants can become organisational principles for human society in the turbulent times of the 21st century. Although we have to scavenge the fringes of contemporary society, we can observe many healing effects that humans can have on their surroundings through a symbiotic collaboration with plants. However, on a holistic level, we still don't know how to overhaul wasteful human behaviours en masse. How do we encourage a more resilient culture, so that humans and non-humans can continue living, preferably together? How do we stimulate a fertile entanglement of culture, gardening and technology that can give the rise to diverse communities of practice? Communities capable of forging symbiotic relationships between post-industrial human societies and the rest of the earth. Composting bitterness to grow beauty.  To explore possible answers to such questions, FoAM hosts a Resilients Salon on Vegetal Culture, in conversation with <a href="http://www.genomicgastronomy.com/" rel="nofollow">Center for Genomic Gastronomy</a>, <a href="http://angelovermeulen.net" rel="nofollow">Angelo Vermeulen</a>, <a href="http://timesup.org" rel="nofollow">Time's Up</a>, <a href="http://nadine.be" rel="nofollow">nadine</a> and other participants of Burning Ice. The atmosphere is casual to inspire participation of everyone involved, accompanied with thematic food and drinks.  Inspired by the title of the festival - We The Gardeners - FoAM invites all guests to bring one or more tomatoes from their garden, windowsill, or a neighbourhood green-grocer, as an entrance-fee. During the salon the tomatoes will be cooked into a soup and shared with everyone, as a closing feast of Burning Ice 2012. At the epicentre of culture, gardening and technology we might be able to glimpse how plants can become organisational principles for human society in the turbulent times of the 21st century.

-**NonGreenGardening results and anecdotes** 
- 
-In 2011 we made an open call for finding interesting concepts for our Augmented Urban Garden. It was Natalia Borissova's Non-Green-Gardening project which was the most appealing one. Within the last months she was regularly onsite - developing and improving her concept of a Non-Green Garden at the Time's Up Labs.  Together with Natalia and Dismas Leonard we are still maintaining a hybrid - green / nongreen-garden. Pros- and Cons of such a project in urban areas will be discussed during this event between 2 and 5 PM 
-

- 
-There will be a presentation of the Augmented Urban garden and its background of the Resilients project, some anecdotes regarding our battles with slugs and other less welcome guests in our garden. We will be serving some delicious dishes from the last harvest of our garden fruit and then send the beds off to their winter dormancy.

-"Naikan is a method of intensive self-reflection that can lead to more inner freedom and joy. A week of Naikan allows you to examine your view on life by observing your inner world, calmly, in a completely safe space. The silence and withdrawal enable a deep, meditative and emotionally intense experience, by which self-perception can be re-calibrated and a fresh view on our life story can take place." - From Christina Stadlbauer's page: http://shiatsubrussel.be/index.php?/english/naikan---looking-inside/ 
- 
-We will use Naikan at FoAM in the Future Preparedness case study of the Resilients project. Our hypothesis is that individual introspection, when done as part of a collective in their common workspace, could greatly improve the group's collaboration and communication processes, making them more resilient overall. We work with Helga Hartl as the guide during the retreat, and Alkan Chipperfield will provide some anthropological contextualisation post-retreat. Ten Naikan participants come from FoAM Brussels and Amsterdam, as well as our wider network of collaborators.

-==== Boucalais: a mobile studio ==== 
- 
-2013-01-04 17:56:22 by  shelbatra jashari

-**Boucalais is a mobile studio:  **Boucalais is a walking trail from Boulogne-sur-Mer to Dunkirk via Calais which Various Artists has travelled several times a year for seven years. The trail is a studio where a number of VA revise their work or where new work is created. <span style="color: #222222; line-height: 20.266666412353516px;">The creations are poetic expressions on the road, as it were, and which - given the mobile context - are necessarily on a small scale or &lsquo;light'   <span style="color: #222222; line-height: 20.266666412353516px;">The Boucalais project pays homage to the artist-collector who, in the course of his journey, assembles a collection of objects and observations, which will - sometimes literally - be dragged back to his studio as so many installations and &lsquo;objets trouv&eacute;s'. At the same time, the work is often intangible and only lives on in documentary form. Since, in the case of VA, the journey is largely equivalent to the studio, this collection of objects, routines and documentation is used as raw material/ oxygen/ basic component for (artistic) creation &lsquo;en route' 
- 
-**Boucalais is a format or work method: **<span style="color: #222222; line-height: 20.266666412353516px;">Boucalais started in 2005 as a fixed walking trail, and grew over the years to a format, a state of mind inviting the VA to develop, revise and/or renew their work methods and preconceptions. The walking format challenges the artist's production mechanisms, and makes room for another interpretation of what constitutes artistic work. At times, the work is no more than a distinctive mark or a trace on the trail. The VA are thus continuously led to adapt their idea of creation and constantly develop different work methods.  
- 
-**Boucalais is a performance on the road: **<span style="color: #222222; line-height: 20.266666412353516px;">Boucalais can also be seen as a real-time performance, a performed creative process out of which work emerges that is shown either en route or at predefined locations along the trail: interventions on the roadside and routines in hotel rooms are subtle installations and markings executed by VA, but without an audience consciously looking on. These are but small interventions in the landscape, fragments of songs by a singer-songwriter, anonymous witnesses who return every day for this temporary artist-walker.

-==== Residency Family of Creatieves - Ceci est un magasin de vêtements ==== 
- 
-2013-04-11 12:33:36 by  Loes Jacobs 
- 
-Five people with different backgrounds (visual arts, fashion, architecture and anthropology) were 'running' a boutique together. It was a shop with no clothes on offer, a paradoxical shop where words, objects and people came together. Ceci set un magasin de v&ecirc;tetements was a shop residency project by Sara ten Westenend, Maaike Gottschal, Miriam Rohde, Annelies Kuypers and Isabelle Makay who used the contradictory set-up of the boutique without clothes as a place in fluctuation where text, objects (clothes), people and space could meet. The aim of their residency was to get an insight in practical aspects of dealing with objects or material as processes. Therefore they invited different people during their residency who are integrating a specific approach to objects and/or material in their work.

-==== N°19 residency Family of Creatives ==== 
- 
-2013-04-25 15:18:25 by  Robert Brečević 
- 
-**After the tribe trip Pollinators Performing Pictures had an in situ residency in Rab, Croatia, the arrival point of the bike journey. The residency was organised there to process the vast material collected during the trip. Performing Picture worked on photo material, and mapping the chapels on the straight line the journeyers followed.** 
- 
-The end of the Pollinators journey with the public event in Rab where the participants shared their experiences of the trip and showed the rough material coming from the mobile process, was also the beginning of the Family of Creatives residency by Performing Pictures. Not only Geska and Robert Brecevic, but also Cesar Brecevic, the 13 year old son of Robert who had biked along the whole line were part of this residency. As part of the residency, further chapels were designed and placed on the island. The material was used for a  artist photo-book essay (1 copy) and for the online map project by artist Pacome Beru, and the exhibition UnTied Notions. (Please note that this exhibition also encompassed works from another EU-project, the EITC 2011-7480. No costs for the exhibition has been charged to the Resilients project).

-==== DIY-kit for roadside chapels ==== 
- 
-2013-04-25 15:34:44 by Robert Brečević 
- 
-These are the recallings by Patrik Qvist, creator of the IKEA-style roadside solar-powered chapels left as beacons of light for fellow travellers by his friend Robert Brečević. 
- 
- 
-It was somewhat sad to see R take off with a sackload of roadside chapels- I had very much wanted to partake in the journey, an adventure that would take him and his fellow travelers from suburban Stockholm down through an increasingly devout Europe. Or that it was how I imagined the lands south of here; a landscape devout in terms of number of people actively pursuing a faith within the framework of organized religion. I was curious to see how the chapels would be received along the way and to know to to what extent a crude miniature chapel could inspire to a moment of contemplation along different kinds of roads in this imagined Europe.  
- 
-The chapels traveled in bits and pieces; a DIY-kit that required little else than a few nails and a hammer for assembly. The image within was another matter. R brought a beautifully cast St Cristobal from Mexico made of resina, rock hard and with great detail. I spent a few nights trying to make a silicone mold from the figure which then would be used on the journey- my idea was that the figure would be cast the night before erecting the chapel, after the bikes had been dismounted and camp had been secured for the night, thus providing a night-long curing of the figure. It did not quite work out- I was lacking in experience with the material, and had already used up most of my provisions of silicone in a vain attempt to make a huge  mold for the entire chapel ("no problem, Robert, you can pick up concrete anywhere along the way, all you'll need is some water and a trowel").  
- 
-In the end, the chapel was made out of wood, and the faulty silicone mold for St Cristobal only held up for a few figures. Further down the road, the chapels became homes to icons that bore  closer resemblance to the patron saint of travelers; icons that were assembled en route and thus spoke both of and for the landscapes transversed.  
- 
-Whatever sadness I may have felt at the departure soon gave way to a sense of joy at receiving reports from the trip. The chapels dotted the landscape and tied together nation-states, cultures, zones of languages and monetary systems in a rough squiggle from north to south-east. My small part of making this happen started out as something rather mundane: a few night spent with sketches, silicone and plaster. Into other hands, through other lands the chapels have transcended way beyond whatever my intentions may have been for them; I imagine a strike of lightning in a muddy field; the intent curiosity of a woodpecker and the careful token of dried flowers befalling unto the chapels as we speak.
