Transcripts

Printed transcripts of five conversations initiated and recorded by Radna Rumping between October 2019 and August 2020 as part of the Gift Science Archive ‘meta-archive’; transcribed and translated for ‘In Good Company (Horsepower)’ by Martha Jager with design by Karoline Świeżyński.

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).

Date: 22 February-5 March, 2021. Location: mistral, Amsterdam (Pakhuis Wilhelmina).

“An aspect of the meta-archive, which includes a series of longer recorded conversations initiated by RR (with Sands, with Sands and Amalia Calderón and with Sands and Robin Wassink-Murray), which aimed to capture ideas about value, structure, and care for an artistic practice, as well as providing plenty of space for sharing references, gossip, and ‘information’ – one of Sands’ main materials. These seven hours of interviews – some in Dutch and some in English – are all in their unedited richness part of the meta-archive, both as audio recordings and transcriptions (translations and transcriptions by Martha Jager).” – RR.
