Preparations for common recognition.
Place: Los Angeles, 1998. It is night.
The action takes place at a rock club, located in the neighborhood of Silver Lake. It is a small though important club, where a certain sub-cultural scene has developed in recent years: it is a venue where people gather to witness the emergence of the new.
We are located in the crowd, as part of the event.
The following dialogue takes place here, yet we must imagine that everything has stopped: the people, the music, the action. It is a frozen moment. Within this moment, three voices emerge: the band, the spectator, and the stranger. A conversation ensues. They speak, to each other, at each other, around each other.
It is a conversation of interruption, capturing three contrasting perspectives onto the event of culture.
During this scene, the club transforms into an uncertain space – a type of research center, a type of archive, a space of references and diagrams, some sort of office dedicated to the theme of discord and disagreement emerges. We enter this space.
Exhibition closing, cook-out and performance:
Saturday, June 15, 2013 - 18.00
For the closing of the exhibition, the work will be expanded into a performative event developed in collaboration with Arianne Hoffmann. Come join us for drinks, food, music and performance taking place in the backyard of General Public.
The exhibition is presented in collaboration with ICI, Berlin, and the conference "Resonant Bodies".
