A discussion event on the themes of Unlearning Routines of the Impossible and Unlearning Exercises: Art Organizations as Sites for Unlearning. These books emerge from the long-term artistic practice of Annette Krauss, developed in collaboration with Casco Art Institute: Working for the Commons in Utrecht. While initially framed around unlearning within art institutions, this discussion extends their insights into broader commons-based forms of organising and cooperation beyond the art world. Taken together these books explore unlearning as a collective and creative practice that unsettles ingrained habits, institutional norms, and entrenched assumptions. By shifting attention away from accumulation and progress-driven learning, they ask how we might dismantle the taken-for-granted truths that structure our institutions, organisations, and daily lives, opening space for new modes of cooperation, justice, and collective imagination.
