Tue 21st May and Wed 22nd May (6:00 – 9:00 pm on both days)
meeting point: Gasworks, 155 Vauxhall Street, London SE11 5RH
Tue 28th May and Wed 29th May (6:00 – 9:00 pm on both days)
meeting point: The Showroom, 63 Penfold Street, London NW8 8PQ
The group offers a chance to discuss the issues surrounding participation, engagement, collaboration, and social practice through a dynamic walking reading group.
For each session some texts will be set in advance and will form the backbone of the exchange. We will depart from a venue and walk for up to an hour, swapping conversations and partners several times. A part from the discussed texts and personal experiences, art projects related to the area will form our dialogues. The selection of texts and the applied dynamic methodology is an attempt to view beyond the binary logic of Socially Engaged Art practices, which often oppose participation to exclusion, nature to culture, thus subject to object.
The Walking Reading Group on Participation is free. Facilitated by Ania Bas and Simone Mair
