Rikke Luther is one of the founders of N55 (
http://www.n55.dk), the collaborative group from Copenhagen. She is currently working with Learning Group (

"We have an on-going dialogue, and pay attention to local situations and what can come out of them in relation to unused materials, economic and social conditions.
Art is related to knowledge, which is related to dialogue and learning." -from the learning group web site

Rikke Luther's lecture is co-sponsored with UICA. Events are free and open to the public.
Learning Group is comprised of Rikke Luther (DK) and Cecilia Wendt (S), co-founders of N55, Julio Castro (MEX), co-founder of Tercerunquinto, and Brett Bloom (US), co-founder of Temporary Services. The different backgrounds are the basis for expanding the language they built up through sharing and mixing. Learning Group pays attention to the local conditions it finds in the place where it chooses to work. In the past years Learning Group has mainly worked with resource materials and economies related to the specific situations where work has been carried out. Economic, environmental, labor, property rights, and many other issues are investigated in tandem to produce a variety of perspectives. Learning Group takes part of a discussion of how knowledge is distributed and produced.
