this is how we kill time

To take care
To be late
To hesitate
To be confused
To host and to be hosted

How much can we assimilate on arrival? How much of our past do our bodies carry? And how much of that is shared with a new group encounter? What is a beginning anyways? How to settle in the border zone of a new encounter? These are some of the questions we will try to respond to in this workshop – by seeing, by experimenting, by refusing.

How do we embody lateness? How do we postpone an embodiment? Can we come back to our bodies, even if we were never there? What about time travelling? And investigation, divination, occupation? These are some of the questions we will try to raise and speculate on in this workshop – by doing, by being, by acknowledging.

What are the politics involved in hosting? How does one's body behave in someone else’s space? Would you help clean the kitchen or rather bring flowers? What does taking care really mean? These are some of the questions we will try to hack and camouflage in this workshop – by thinking, by talking, by being together.

An Arrival Tale (at exhibition by Mario Garcia Torres at Thyssen-Boernemiza Art Contemporary, tba21, Vienna) will be a departure for this set of speculations.
