Do Tank started with a relay interview -session with Jacob Wren. What are we thinking about Do Tank as the ones working on it? What kind of expectations and wishes do we have? What is the relationship between thinking and action? What hopes and fears are there?

Do Tank - to begin with

Artist as an katalyst.

Artist as a collaborator.

Artist as a participant.

Artist or art as an example of changing routines of working.

Letting go of the old and familiar, all the used ideals and structures that are no longer possible or relevant.  Being aware of new needs, also expectations. 

Being aware of one´s own choicemaking.

Taking risks is not always easy. It is never easy. Or is it?

Artist as an exmple of trying to deal with the unknown and trying to figure out different ways of working, new conventions, mixing timings.  (pop up festivals,  5-10 year long long processess)

The use of improvisation and improvisational structures.

Hybrids. Mixtures. Variations

Re-constructions. Re- thinking. Post-thinking.

Re-considering media-attention:

 In these times when artists are working outside the art-context it is not always possible, suitable, relevant or even wanted to bring the work or the working to the media or bigger public.

Generating material together.

Artist working together / collaborating with different people and professions.

Mixing skills and knowledge.
