Tine is com­mit­ted to artis­tic devel­op­ment as a pro­cess root­ed in inter­con­nec­ted­ness. Stemming from this mind­set, the Sad Artist Department (SAD) emer­ged. SAD offers a sta­ged tem­po­ra­li­ty that gathers a fic­ti­ve sup­port group for artists and cre­a­ti­ve makers. SAD talks, exchan­ges and cele­bra­tes. The par­ti­ci­pa­ti­ve work isn’t ​‘just pre­ten­ding’. SAD forms a pre­fi­gu­ra­ti­ve spa­ce whe­re we col­lec­ti­ve­ly rehear­se in care-taking and gene­ro­si­ty — often over a good cry and a sha­red meal. SAD’s latest ite­ra­ti­on, No Doors on Their Mouths, takes pla­ce at Cas-co and within its wider net­work. The pro­ject del­ves into the soft under­bel­ly of sustai­ning an artis­tic prac­ti­ce. Emotions like dis­ap­point­ment, inse­cu­ri­ty and loss — that remain under­ex­po­sed within the pre­sen­ta­ti­on-orien­ted dyna­mics of the arts field come together in an inter­ac­ti­ve sce­no­grap­hy and sound pie­ce and form a con­tem­po­ra­ry elegy. 

Tine’s resi­d­en­cy will take pla­ce from the end of May until the end of June 2025, with a pre­sen­ta­ti­on ope­ning on June 12^th. More infor­ma­ti­on to follow.
