No Telos - Book launch at the Research Pavilion, Venice Biennale
Sunday - 16th June 5.30 - 8pm
No Telos is a collaborative artistic research project for exploring the critical role of uncertainty, disorientation, not knowing and open-ended activity within creative practice and during uncertain times. This artists’ book comprises a series of ‘scores’ drawing on exercises and practices first developed and tested in Venice (2017). The city is approached as a working ground or live laboratory for artistic research and aesthetic investigation, for poetic inscription and playful experimentation.
We’ll be launching the book Sunday 16 August at Research Pavilion during the Venice Biennale.
‘Convocation: on Expanded Language-based Practices’
The book launch will be part of Convocation—a call to come together, a gathering of expanded language-based practices. Weaving between artistic research and phenomenological approaches, this three-day event will include open workshops, live research, collective writing/reading exercises, and performative lectures.
