The Green Art Commission Toolkit is the diffusion element of the Art Living Lab for Sustainability European project.
It’s a serious game, a workshop base, a discussion-animating instrument and a space for collective research open for further additions and different scenarios adaptations. It’s a guiding tool in order to write a green-based art commission project upon the New Patrons’ modus operandi through the replication of the given examples and the following of the game narration itinerary.
At the end of the session — through the critical debate and opinion exchanges sparked by the Toolkit — a lot of questions about each part of the project are collectively answered and an account of the commissioners/participants project is sketched.
This Toolkit is the running base for a common session or workshop to visualise the actual questions one should answer for an ecological art commission.
It induces a common conversation following the New Patrons’ modus operandi.
It helps keeping things in mind.
It helps fostering new narratives and changing local narratives.
It guides an art commission's story in an environmentally friendly manner to produce a monstration of "invisible" subjects. Additionally - as the purpose of monstration is to re-veal, disseminate, clarify, and make accessible - it takes the shape of a copy-left, wiki, and collective serious game.
