Hot Desk / Paris
Saturday 20/09/08 from 12h to 22h
For Paris event, Point Ephémère host the first step of the project with the release of the special Manifesta issue of the magazine J’aime beaucoup ce que vous faites and a one day show Last chance to see the Show. This new issue takes the notion of “Broken English” as starting point for exploring language experiments. In response to Raqs Media Collective’s proposal, the magazine focus on the transfer of their notion of value of residue into language and tries to figure out the creative potential of failure, errors in translation and miscommunication. Last chance to see the Show is conceived as a fiction for a forthcoming exhibition that never happen. Discussing the process of a show, the hidden part of an exhibition is revealed to the audience, turning traditional formats such as artist talk, interviews, press conferences, set up into something unexpected.
Hot Desking- Paris/Istanbul/Rome/Stockholm – Manifesta 7 special project
Hot Desking is a collaboration between Manifesta 7 and Curatorlab/Konstfack* as part of the exhibition The Rest of Now curated by Raqs Media Collective in Bolzano, 2008, which takes The Rest of Now as a point of departure for further discussions and explorations. The project consists of four broadsheets and four discursive events in four cities – Rome, Stockholm, Paris and Istanbul – which function as independent but related satellites of The Rest of Now. The broadsheets and events link ideas, themes and discussions initiated by the exhibition in Bolzano to the local context of the four cites.
