Dream

Rijksakademie Internal Open Studios – 07.09.20. “Performing these days is difficult, because of the pandemic. We have to reinvent ourselves. I am just trying to make something useful for my daily live, and the people around me.” – Anon. “Exactly, day to day caring structures. That’s what we do.” – AC.

MH & AC meeting – 15.03.21. “Not really a keyword but it is in ‘Sandsland’.” – MH.

SMW & AC inventorying session – 08.10.20. “You can’t extinguish everyone in your life who isn’t a feminist, or pro-queer, or decolonial. You have to live in the world and with the people in it.” – AC. “Lines get blurry. It’s also about chemistry between people, you can’t account for people in your life. [… ] It wasn’t even about politics, it was their behaviour.” – SMW. “Behaviour enacts politics. Someone’s behaviour is the real politics, and sometimes they are different from what they say they are.” – AC. “There is something about having an irritative quality or work. I may destroy them (some artworks) someday, but for now they can go in the archive and irritate people.” – SMW.

Inventorying session + invited archivist (IA) meeting – 15.09.20: “Can I hold your art? (with my mandarine hands?).” – MH.

Rijksakademie Internal Open Studios – 07.09.20. “Does archiving sooth you? The fear or anxiety of losing something?” – Anon. “Not really. I like to give away.” – SMW.

Meeting 12.04.20. “How to be sensitive to this work? There should be a balance of knowing enough to know so as to not be generic (knowing too little) or leading (too much). A balance of distance, not an interview but an ongoing conversation/trust.” – MH.
