Sharing

Please,

sit the hell down
imagine yourself digging through the studio archive three hours per week
eating almonds on a lavender chair and sexing everything,

sit the hell down
we are not producing “museum didactic panels” [MH]
“our archiving is sharing, it’s like opening up a heart.” [SMW]

Our collective storytelling is a mode of knowledge transmission
of counter dominant narrative forms threading metanarratives into the relational, practising methods for survival/care/RESILIENCE. We operate in messiness,
sharing slippery magic & extravagant palettes of emotion through non-benign processes: a pushback pull-through of gifting, exchanging, borrowing, bartering, thieving. We have TOO MUCH intimacy, TOO LITTLE shame,
we transcribe hours-long recorded conversations, distribute letters to your doorstep, and always keep mandarins.

We do it actively, purposefully, (at times) lazily and as a constant blurring of ourselves and others, of work and home, of art and life,
performing an entanglement to the science of being relational beings.

It’s called “gift science” for a reason. – AC.

Presentation for the If I Can’t Dance Edition VIII – Ritual and Display Introductory Kick-Off Weekend. The artist’s textile paintings adorn the space throughout the weekend. Here, he shares on his multimedia practice, concentrating on its early beginnings in 1993, in a slide show that makes clear his reliance on feminist figures like Carolee Schneeman, Hannah Wilke and Adrian Piper. He then dances before a dual projection – Schneemann video and footage from his studio – in and out of step with ‘Starlight’ by The Supermen Lovers.

SMW solo exhibition at mistral, Amsterdam (2021). The exhibition opens up the process of the ‘monumental’ 18-month collaborative performance Gift Science Archive (GSA) to the public for haptic engagements with the artist’s working and archiving processes. Visitors are invited to peruse the GSA archive database and to pull materials from the collection for a closer look and, over a cup, for a story. The ‘research experience’ is thus set into relational motion, by conversations – a central part of Murray-Wassink’s practice. Co-curated by Megan Hoetger (If I Can’t Dance) together with Radna Rumping and Huib Haye van der Werf (mistral).

The extended second process event in the three-part series featured an epistolary exchange between the artist and Bilbao-based curator Aimar Arriola. The exchange took place between June 2020 and February 2021, and – in process – was shared in www.ificantdance.studio between December 2020 and April 2021. From the ificantdance.studio: “Dipping in and out of a slow-time conversation between an artist and curator. To be read, whether chronologically or not, in an intimate space during moments alone”. – MH.

  • Reflection Notes

“To rhyme an ending with a new beginning. The winter holidays are over, and the communiqués close here, on 6 February 2021 about a week after Aimar’s 45th birthday. After months of backs and forth, of dreaming and planning, of delicately finding each other through words and images, Aimar opens up about health, about identification and about intimacy and its blockages. His admissions are somewhat unexpected, as is the affective impact of them. In his own final gesture of ‘spilling out’, Aimar offers a closing rhyme matched in its formal clarity of thought only by the rawness of psychic grappling evident in its content. Sedgwick comes to mind once again, this time her understanding of the beauty of not fully knowing people. In Aimar’s final letter (and the final of this eight-month epistolary exchange), it’s the sort of ‘too much’ that only an air sign can give, and, with it, Aimar at last comes to meet the ‘spilling out’ of Sands—not by mimicking Sands’ modes of expression, but, rather, by making visible his own intensities of feeling.Aquarius season.I think that says it all.” – MH studio note from ificantdance.studio.

‘Am I living the life of a courtesan?’ – 31.03.20. “On money, nudity & paying homage – Archiving a nude body can prove to be a hazard. // How do you fold it? // Perhaps from the top: arm to shoulder, nail to hair-lock, voice to tongue. // Take aim, it's simple. // Push it down. Maybe a bit harder. It doesn't really fit. Where do I put the hands? // Those teeth bite, stay away. Keep them far. // ‘They are worth the money’ you say. // You // have teeth marks on your back.” – AC.
