Also you can be a Filliousoph! The Filliousophy, based on the work of French artist Robert Filliou, states that art is what makes life more interesting than art. In this two-hour crash course for artists and non-artists you acquire the three tools of poetic economy: Permanent Creation, the Eternal Network and the Principle of Equivalence (well made, badly made, not made). You will leave as Le Filliou Idéal. 

Book launch, Saturday, 24 August, 19-21 hr (free admission)

What are you thinking about now? Robert Filliou’s advice: Think of something else. You can practice this filliousophical method when co-authors An Paenhuysen and Milos Zahradka Maiorana perform The Pink Spaghetti Handshake invented by Filliou and Emmett Williams. Spaghetti is made in Rome, and so is the booklet Filliousophy, which will be launched as a special edition by Multimondo Press. 

Robert Filliou  (1926-1987) was a self-taught artist who, coming from economics, merged art with philosophy, linguistics, Buddhism. His output took on many forms and was experimental, including a gallery in a hat, a non-shop and a gong lecture. Filliou favoured using simple materials such as cardboard and found objects, and co-creation was his favourite way to go about. 

Milos Zahradka Maiorana and An Paenhuysen collaborated for the first time in 2023, teaching the art writing workshop Try a Twombly, exploring the space where philosopher Roland Barthes and the artist Cy Twombly meet. An accompanying teaching manual was published by Multimondo Press. An is a critic, curator and cultural historian in Berlin. She teaches art criticism and creative writing at Node Center for Curatorial Studies. Milos is an artist-philosopher, curator, and founder of the interdisciplinary print studio and art residency Multimondo Press, located deep in the Roman countryside.
