Duende

As part of ADA’s investigation into collaborative and participatory practices, ADA initiates a short-term reading group for the duration of its work period at BRAK 3 in Duende, in the month of April.

During six-sessions, texts reflecting on artistic production, modes of communication, political positioning and the meaning produced, will be jointly and actively explored in a friendly and relaxed environment. This short-term exercise is intended to enable practical exploration of the collective endeavor to encounter each other through a collaborative working practice. The subject matter of the reading group acts as an introduction to ADA’s current inquiry, which it will continue reflecting on in the coming year through its public program.

ADA and BRAK cordially invite you to join in the reading of the following texts:

Tuesday 5 April | 19:30-22:30
The Author as Producer, by Walter Benjamin. And in addition the short text The Artist as Producer in Times of Crisis by Okwui Enwezor.

Sunday 10 April | 15:00-18:00
The Emancipated Spectator, pp. 1-23, by Jacques Rancière.

Monday 11 April | 19:30-22:30
The Collaborative Turn, by Maria Lind.

Wednesday 13 April | 19:30-22:30
The Demands and Challenges of Committed Participation, by Mika Hannula.

Part 1 & 2 of The Discursive, by Liam Gillick.

Monday 25 April | 19:30-22:30

Please Note: read the text before attending the reading session. There will not be a full reading of the text during the session but a discussion on sections of the texts brought up by anyone who is taking part in the reading group. All texts can be downloaded from ADA’s website.

Additionally to the activity of exploring the texts together, a beautiful, brand new, state-of-the-art, ping-pong table is made available by ADA for all level of sporting and recreational fun. The studio is open to use daily for play and reading from 10:00-19:30.
