Lilia Mestre Block Focus: Sub -(e)ject
4 January-31 March 2016 / a.pass
The relation between writing and performance
maxresdefault
The proposal for this block follows up on scores as a tool to organize dialogical or intersubjective formats for exchange in artistic practice and research. In the past two years I developed in the frame of a.pass a score for writing practice, ‘Writing Scores’ and a score for performance ‘Perform Back Score’, both as discursive tools. Both scores created a platform for the different researches to co-habitate and to reflect back the methods and strategies each of us use in the making and thinking of our practices. The main questions are: How do we compose materials and thoughts? What is the performativity at stake on the sharing of those? What’s the relation between subjectivity and collectivity in a collaborative environment? What does that do to our individual practices and to the collective itself?

This is a score to explore the different notion of presence in performance and writing. It is acted out as a weekly meeting throughout the block between January and March 2016. The practices of the score alternate between performance and writing as modes of the performative. All people attending the score meetings have to share work. There is no audiance.

Elke Van Campenhout Who’s Afraid of the Subject?
18-22 January 2016 / a.pass

In this theoretical and discussion workshop, we reconsider the notion of the subject today:
why, after all the turn-arounds of becomings, vibrant objects and a decentralisation of the human perspective, do we need to reconsider the subject as an important player in our discourses and practice?
well, to start with, because there is no personal agency or ethics without it. and also because there is a need for a consciousness of what it is that subjects us, what it is that turns us into speaking, experiencing and affecting human beings. but even more so, when and why these powers are denied to us, and why?

19-20 February 2016
warriors gif flyer
A 2 day Event
A temporary Community
In times of emergency we choose to see ourselves as Warriors
When you need to survive you fight
The intimate self unfolding, clad in a new vocabulary
To change what is there, what keeps us hostage.
A warrior that fights to reveal the present of life
The divinity of the everyday
Discovering our dreams to be as real as our waking
WARRIORS is
An event to share our process
A process of becoming
A journey through our labyrinths
A moment of confusion
