So very excited for this weekend’s symposium-like gathering on “Asynchronicity” hosted by ingenious Cally Spooner and organized together with the dream team @eva_birkenstock , @alokind and @hermannmueller as part of our project @reboot_responsiveness both at @koelnischerkunstverein and @ludwigforum. Here’s the truly spectacular list of contributors: Paul Abbott & Will Holder, Alex Baczynski-Jenkins, Taina Bucher, Elizabeth Freeman, Hendrik Folkerts, Irena Haiduk, Dana Luciano, Martina Roß-Nickoll, Cally Spooner with Sanna Blennow and Melody Giron, Mark von Schlegell, Jesper List Thomsen, Jackie Wang and films by Pierre Bal-Blanc and Frances Scholz. “Asynchronicity” is a symposium-like gathering of choreographies, lectures, sounds, screenings, and discussions assembled by artist Cally Spooner with reboot: responsiveness at Kölnischer Kunstverein, Cologne and Ludwig Forum, Aachen. Over the course of two days, collaborators–artists, performers, musicians, theoreticians, dancers, curators and designers–are invited to unfold a diverse set of propositions for alternative, fugitive temporalities, affects and bodily practices that bend and subvert familiarity and which deliberately, or naturally, remain out of sync. Jointly introducing the notion
of Asynchronicity as an alternative, non-sequential mode of texts, movements, encounters and thoughts will collide across the partnering institutions in Aachen and Cologne. The two day even is part of reboot: responsiveness, a collaborative, multi-cycle, anti-racist, and queer-feminist dialogue encompassing performance and research based practices, jointly presented by Kölnischer Kunstverein, Cologne and Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst, Aachen . reboot: Conceived by Eva Birkenstock, Nikola Dietrich, and Viktor Neumann Core Collective comprised of Alex Baczynski-Jenkins, Gürsoy Doğtaş, Klara Lidén, Ewa Majewska, Rory Pilgrim, Cally Spooner, and Mariana Valencia Graphic design by Sean Yendrys
