About this exposition

Textorium: Collaborative Writing-Reading with/in Public Space is a language-based artistic research project that explores collaborative score-based approaches to live, situated writing and reading practices, for attending to the experiential aspects of situated embodiment with/in public space. Between 30 May — 4 June 2022, five artist-writers (Emma Cocker, Andrea Coyotzi Borja, Cordula Daus, Vidha Saumya and Lena Séraphin) met in Vaasa, Finland, to engage in a process of observational and collective score-based writing-reading with/in public space. With its conceptual anchor in Georges Perec’s short book An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris (1975/2010), this enquiry evolves a distinctive approach that foregrounds a corporeal, sensorial and bodily approach to language, where writing and reading are conceived as a collaborative undertaking rather than a solitary endeavour. Working with and through different language-based practices — including performative, poetic, and phenomenology-oriented approaches — the research explores the potentiality of emergent spaces (perhaps even of emergent temporalities, subjectivities and collectivities) produced through the interweaving of shared writing and reading practices, as the cyclical rhythms of writing/reading intermingle with the circulating movements, momentums and flows of public space. Through developing and testing various embodied, corporeal, sensorial, and collaborative approaches, this research enquiry advocates the transformative capacity of language-based artistic research for cultivating new “ecologies of attention” (Yves Citton, 2017). This shared enquiry explores the critical potentiality of our “linguistic bodies” (Di Paolo, Cuffari, and De Jaegher, 2018) as sites of both resistance and affirmation.

Textorium: Kollaborativt skrivande-läsande i/med det offentliga rummet är ett språkbaserat konstnärligt forskningsprojekt som prövas live i stadsrummet. Projektet utforskar skrivande-läsande genom kollaborativa, score-baserade och platsspecifika praktiker, och tillser det infraordinära med erfarenhetsmässiga aspekter av situerat förkroppsligande i/med det offentliga rummet. Mellan den 30 maj och 4 juni 2022 möttes fem konstnärer/författare (Emma Cocker, Andrea Coyotzi Borja, Cordula Daus, Vidha Saumya och Lena Séraphin) i Vasa, Finland, för att delta i en process som utvecklar observerande, kollektivt och score-baserat skrivande-läsande i/med det offentliga rummet. Med sin konceptuella förankring i Georges Perecs korta bok "Försök att utmatta en plats i Paris" (1975/2010), framför denna studie en metod som sätter kroppsliga, sensoriska och fysiska aspekter av språket i fokus, där skrivande och läsande ses som en kollektiv verksamhet snarare än en solitär strävan. Genom att arbeta med och genom olika språkbaserade praktiker – inklusive performativa, poetiska samt fenomenologiska – utforskas potentialen för rum/sligheter att uppstå (eller kanske till och med temporaliteter, subjektiviteter och kollektiv) genom sammanvävningar av gemensamma praktiker i skrivande-läsande, samtidigt som skriv- och läscykler sammanförs med återkommande rörelser, drivkrafter och flöden i stadsrummet. Genom att utveckla och testa olika förkroppsligade, fysiska, sensoriska och kollektiva metoder förespråkar denna studie språkbaserad konstnärlig forskning och dess transformativa förmåga att producera nya "uppmärksamhetsekologier" (Yves Citton, 2017). I detta kollektiva forskningsprojekt utforskas den kritiska potentialen hos ”lingvistiska kroppar” (Di Paolo, Cuffari och De Jaegher, 2018) som platser för både motstånd och bekräftelse.
