Hican I come along to the wed 22 may walk at gasworksbestmanjinder Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2013 23:11:33 +0100 From: [log in to unmask] Subject: The Walking Reading Group on Participation - London To: [log in to unmask] Dear All, I would like to invite you to join The Walking Reading Group on Participation that in May will be walking the streets of South and North London. The group is facilitated by Simone Mair and myself. The group is a spring version of The Reading Group on Participation that was commissioned by Elbow Room and hosted by g39 in Cardiff. We will be walking on: Tue 21st May and Wed 22nd May (6:00 - 9:00 pm on both days) meeting point: Gasworks, 155 Vauxhall Street, London SE11 5RH and 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 Please e-mail me if you want to join as spaces are limited.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. * * * I also would like to let you know that the first publication developed using the principles of co-writing and titled after the event where it was developed I'm Not Sitting at the Front is now live and can be read and downloaded from issuu. Enjoy! This work is also commissioned by Elbow Room and is part of Intercourse project.
