(Un)usual Business is an enthusiastic group of commoners, that grew out of a collaboration between Casco – Office for Art, Design and Theory and Kritische Studenten Utrecht.
We are organized as a collective, which means we function non-hierarchically and make decisions consensually. We rely on the social relations we build with people dedicated to similar ideas, some of whom support us as researchers. Through functioning as a common, with knowledge as our resource, our practice is at the same time a form of self-education.
In addition to our work on a visual experiment to map existing commoning practices, we organize events and publish our collective research both online and in print to strengthen our community and encourage dialogue.
