Between 2 – 9 February 2017, I was working
at Zentrum Fokus Forschung in Vienna, with Nikolaus Gansterer, Mariella Greil and designer Simona Koch, on the final content, layout and graphic design of our forthcoming
book, Choreo-graphic Figures: Deviations
from the Line. The
publication is conceived as a studio-laboratory
in itself, drawing together critical reflections and experimental practices
that focus on the how-ness — the qualitative-processual, aesthetic-epistemological and
ethico-empathetic dynamics — within shared
artistic exploration,
directing attention to an affective realm of forces
and intensities operating before, between and beneath the more readable
gestures of artistic practice. Hybrid of an artists-book and research
compendium, Choreo-graphic Figures:
Deviations from the Line invokes action by operating as
a 'score' that can be activated by others, providing artists, theorists and creative practitioners
with a modular system of performative and notational tools for future experimental play. More on the
publication and related launch events to follow.
