Face to face One of several approaches to let an audience encounter the SQUID project is to arrange, in collaboration with project and exhibition spaces, public events and display the SQUID archive in physical form. Through the arrangement of activities, such as round table discussions and artist presentations, we occasionally highlight issues surfacing from the contributions in the archive. These activities often result in new contributions, so called ’feedback loops’, which are presented in the SQUID archive. Below are the activities that have been arranged up until now.

Round table discussion on the theme of "Urban Narrative" Hit, Göteborg, Sweden / Nov 30, 2008 Since 'Urban' and 'Narrative' are two of the most common search words in the SQUID archive, we wanted to take the opportunity to explore different artistic approaches with the use of 'Urban Narrative' as starting point for a discussion on investigative, site-specific practices. We arranged a round table discussion, which brought together a group of professionals that have each developed, through different fields and practices, strategies and knowledge for engaging into the city. The participants were the artist Meira Ahmemulic, the architect Antonio Scarponi and the artist Elin Wikström. The discussion was held at Hit where the SQUID archive was on display Nov 29 - Dec 6, 2008. The discussion has been adapted to text by Katja Aglert, Martijn van Berkum and Janna Holmstedt: #39 Urban Narratives. A round table discussion with Meira Ahmemulic, Antonio Scarponi and Elin Wikström.

Moderated discussion on the theme of "Theme" ak28 / Liljevalchs Konsthall, Stockholm, Sweden / Feb 15, 2006 When we initially started to invite cultural producers to write for SQUID - not based on a given theme but in relation to the engagement and driving forces which runs through, or parallel to their own work - we realized it wasn’t all that easy. The lack of an apparent theme became an issue. As a result of the fruitful discussions that followed, we invited the artist Fredric Gunve to write on the theme of "Theme" and to moderate an open discussion at ak28. Based on the discussion, Gunve wrote a second text. These are his two contributions: #23 Tema, igen., by Fredric Gunve #22 Mycket snack, lite(n) verkstad, by Fredric Gunve ................................................................................................................................................................................ Why SQUID? Field trip to Antiparos, Greece / Sep, 2005 While starting up the project, we often got the question "Why SQUID?" And what is the difference between a squid and an octopus anyway? We went to Greece to find out more about these great creatures. Squids have well developed senses, three hearts, blue blood and they use jet propulsion to swim. Squids, apart from having two more arms than octopuses, also have a reduced internal shell called a pen. #18 The Main Character Of The Scene, by Katja Aglert and Janna Holmstedt ................................................................................................................................................................................
