NOGOODS is a moving project space for slippery ideas, repeating failures, collapsing structures, liquid narratives, and cross-disciplinary moods.
It is a space for performative discursive practice, artistic production, non-linear research, and collaboration. Our focus lies on the impact of architecture and performativity on social patterns within a queer theoretical framework. We are interested in practices that question power dynamics through architectural interventions, assemblage, conversation, or social practices.
Through the upcoming months, we will propose a discursive program experimenting with and reflecting on space and performativity.
NOGOODS is founded and run by Danja Burchard, Maike Statz and Francesca Scapinello.
NOGOODS is located King Oscars Gate 45, 5017 Bergen.

Manifesto
NOGOODS
is a moving project space for slippery ideas, repeating failures, collapsing structures, fluid narratives, and cross-disciplinary moods.
NOGOODS
stands for collective thinking changing perspectives and the practice of figuring-it-out
NOGOODS
plays with shifting shapes, rereadings of space, performative architecture, and the social design of performance.
NOGOODS
is interested in investigating the multilayeredness of architecture as performative practice.
NOGOODS
is interested in the architectural practice of designing the performativity of social patterns
NOGOODS
wants to rethink
NOGOODS
stands for no goods – for the non-tangible – for the non-graspable and for the no good.
NOGOODS
stands for assemblage of image, text, letter and thought
NOGOODS
is conversations – again and again, and again –
repetition creates normality
repetition makes things disappear
we will repeat
and re-arrange
and eventually, disappear
NOGOODS
is the question of what stands behind, beyond, next to the material. In form of action. In form of heritage. In form of narrative
NOGOODS
wants to investigate the composition of the imaginary leaving aside its materialization. Immaterial work – is work / Thought experience – is memory / Memory – speculates with the future. NOGOODS is a space
NOGOODS is a void
NOGOODS is collective
NOGOODS passing.
