Come Hell or High Water
19.11. – 04.12.22
By Rosario Aninat and Simon Shim Sutcliffe
“Surely, walking through a cute European town, you’ve noted the difference in brick work from that of your home. The specificity of our spatial contours, the dialects of detail in our fundamental constructions form these cultural shimmers. So we bring with us the accents of our transit systems, our screw threads, the water level of our toilets. Those are our companions in Come Hell or High Water. As the exhibition presents nearly familiar components of motion and restraint, it inflicts upon us our own peripheral knowledge by dismantling it.”

Social as a Night is a reading hosted in Tash Keddy's exhibition everything feels like just feeling everything all the time. Social as a Night is about a world mired in analogy and utterly socialized psyches. Dagmar Bosma reads fragments around entropic anxiety and erosion, Stefa Govaart reads a long-form poem and Maxi Wallenhorst reads a historical novella in process.

Blood / Sea
28.11. – 19.12.21
With Nora Aurrekoetxea, Benjamin Francis, Paraskevi Frasiola, Sami Hammana, PHILTH HAUS, Claudia Pagès, Victor Santamarina
Curated by Àngels Miralda
“The title Blood / Sea references a short story by Italo Calvino published in 1967 as Sangue, Mare. The narrator Qwfwq is a recurring character in Calvino’s works — an immortal being as old as the universe who has evolved since the dawn of life on earth. In the short story it takes the shape of a man, driving quickly down a narrow sea-side road in Italy with three other passengers. He recalls his youth as a single-celled organism flowing through primordial seas. When animals evolved and moved onto dry land, they had to find some way to bring the nutrients of the sea with them - this was done in the form of blood. The water of the Mediterranean on one side, and the cut iron-rich rock on the other seen from the metallic moving car converge in an essay about individuality in the material world that surrounds us. Anthropologist Stefan Helmreich wrote about this short story and the basis of its narration stemming from a publication in 1904 by physiologist René Quinton who discovered that the chemical composition of plasma in the blood is almost identical to sea water.”
