Welcome to mutant space
supporting the development and production of your arts projects and events
Mutant space provides practical support for Irish arts projects and events by giving you free access to our collective resources and skills. These collective resources and skills allow you to experiment, fail, make and play no matter who you are, where you are, what you do or when you do it. We're open to everybody and anybody and do not differentiate between the artist and non-artist, professional or amateur. So take your idea and run with it, make it happen and if you need support mutant space is here to help. It's free and easy to join. Do it now
So how does it work?
Simple really. Our arts resource functions as a co-op, a punk shop that works on the gift economy principle. In other words rather than use money in exchange for goods and services we use our own skills and resources as an alternative form of economic exchange
So what do I have to do to join?
Well, first thing to do is join up which you do by going to our registration page and pooling your skills and resources into our bank and scrap store. This usually means offering an hour or two of your time a week and posting up any scrap you might have lying around
Then what?
That's up to you, but next time you're looking to create, develop or produce an arts event or project you can start right here where you'll have unlimited access to the collective skills and resources of of the entire co - op to realise your idea. To make it happen
So why do you do it?
Because I can. Because I care. Because I want autonomy, space and freedom to make, play, experiment and fail whenever I like without having to compromise anything to anybody. And I know others do to. And everytime someone joins this resource we all get one step closer to turning it into a viable creative economy, a real alternative to the current economic arts structure that is based on state funding bodies, local authorities, bureaucracy and red tape
We currently host a:
resource bank
scrap store
events listings
billboard
arts links
ezine
So have a look around, read more about us and join up, it's free and it's yours.
We also host our own projects and events through this arts resource so keep an eye out for updates. To see what we got up to in 2009 check out our previous events page in our ezine
