Tetterode Unlocked is our four-part podcast series on Woonwerkpand Tetterode, organised for the occasion of Open Monumentdag Tetterode is a former factory that produced typefaces before it was squatted in 1981, then subsequently legalised in 1986, at the same time as being purchased by the municipality. Shortly after that, ownership passed to the housing corporation Het Oosten. However, the Tetterodians were able to secure a rather remarkable lease arrangement with Stadgenoot in which they have complete control over the inner structure and workings of the building, while Stadgenoot maintains control over the shell. Over the four episodes, tetatet host Charlie Clemoes explores some of the reasons for and unique consequences of this arrangement, through interview with a few experienced members of the Tetterode community, namely architect Mikel van Gelderen, artist and member of the bouwcomissie Chris Baaten and activist Rens den Hollander. The series also draws heavily on Charlie’s engagement with the book Zeggenschap Zonder Bezit (control without ownership), a kind of chronicle of the building and its inhabitants, published in 2019 and composed of essays written by various residents and other people associated with the building (e.g. politicians, academics, the head of Stadgenoot, but also people who grew up in the building, and some of the people who were there when it first got squatted. In this fourth and final episode, we consider Tetterode as a case study through which to explore the question of how we best deal with Amsterdam's housing shortage and its problems with gentrification, which unfolds into a contemplation of Tetterode’s more ineffable and unquantifiable qualities. It features an interview with Rens Den Hollander and excerpts from Marien de Langen’s essay in Zeggenschap zonder Bezit.

In this third episode, we discuss how Tetterode has survived all of these years thanks to great effort that Tetrodes inhabitants have placed on securing, maintaining and sustaining it, something which will continue to be important into the future. The episode features an interview with Chris Baaten and excerpts from the essays of Ronal van Tienhoven and Teun Stekelenburg.

In this second episode, we deal with the historical conditions from which Tetterode emerged as an autonomous working living community (tl;dr: it emerged for reasons that no longer hold). The episode features excerpts from Ric Burn’s documentat New York, An interview with David Harvey in The Guardian, an interview with Marc Levinson about his book The Box and an interview with Laleh Khalili for the London Review of Books podcast.

self-taught tools, disciplinary boundaries, organic platform understandings, organization as an alliance, accessing communities, being unfamiliar and tapping local groundedness – “who’s on what?” We’re happy to share a long overdue friendly tetatet conversation with Seth and Akil from RESOLVE. RESOLVE are an interdisciplinary design collective that combines architecture, engineering, technology and art to address social challenges and provide platforms for the production of new knowledge and ideas, whilst collaborating and organising to help build community resilience. https://www.resolvecollective.com/

In Episode 2/2 of ‘After the Maestro’ with Xenogothic, Wyrd Signal and Tom K Kemp, the Pineal Gland, Toxiplasma-gondii, Spermatazoa and Heart face a profoundly existential threat to their newly reformed anatomy. Biological processes are re-rerouted, secrets are unearthed, and the future of the emancipated City hangs in the balance. In this special edition of tetatet, artist Tom K Kemp is joined by writer and blogger Matt Colquhoun (@xenogoth, @buddieswithoutorgans) and hosts of the podcast Wyrd Signal (@wyrdsignalpodcast) to play a session of his roleplaying game ‘After the Maestro’, set within an ‘anthropomorphised anatomy’, as seen in animations like ‘Once Upon a Time.. Life’, ‘Osmosis Jones’ and ‘Cells at Work!’. Players adopt the roles of groups of microbial and cellular workers during the aftermath of a successful labour emancipation within the inner body, where the ‘Maestro’, or centralised vital force of the body, has been removed. Each session of the game generates a new narrative of anatomical and social re-organisation, complicating and estranging common body-politic metaphors into a tale of emancipatory body-horror. Music for the episodes - Legal and General Life Solutions, kindly provided by Percival Pembroke (@oiseaux) These episodes are hosted by fanfare, recorded at Rupert Residency, Vilnius, and supported by Radio Orsimanirana at MKG Hamburg (@mkghamburg).

On invitation from The Palace of Typographic Masonry, fanfare represents the Playground of the In-Between. This playground creates space for chatting, gossiping, and sharing. Based on questions given to all contributors of The Palace of Typographic Masonry, the Playground of the in-between presents a soundscape and set of jingles and 14 vocal advertisements that hijack and play a part in the official museum audio tour. Playground of the In-Between is designed and developed by fanfare, (Miquel Hervás Gómez & Freja Kir) sound made together w/ Fabian Reichle. The Palace of Typographic Masonry is an imaginary museum for graphic design. Within the narrative of a building with nine departments (Sign, Symbol, Ornament, Construction, Poetics, Game, Order, Craft and Practice), the project continuously develops new additions in which a certain aspect of graphic design is highlighted. The Palace is initiated by Richard Niessen.
