50 years living within Foucault's Heterotopias
Documentation from my Solo exhibition, 50 years living within Foucault's Heterotopias.
Show ran June 1-10th, 2018. Work was presented in parallel spaces:
ONONO, Wolphaertstraat 41-C, 3082 BL, Rotterdam (4th floor)
& Wolfart Project Space vitrine, Wolphaertstraat 25-C, 3082 BK Rotterdam (ground floor)
Over 6 months I produced a body of work combining Michel Foucault, Ursula K. Le Guin and Psychogeographies of Rotterdam.
The late Ursula K Le Guin was influenced by Foucault and has been been of great influence for me when looking to the past to re-imagine new futures. I have used their voices to pose questions of Neo-materialism and Intersectional feminism. Explored through foil characters of a doula, translator a registrar. To flesh out politics surrounding birth, bureaucracy of the State, liberation, gender.
In addition to a sculpture exhibition, an adjacent publication has also be produced by Publication Studio, Rotterdam. Within this text, matrixial voices can be heard of Hannah Arendt, Deidre Donoghue, Lisa Baraitser, Rosi Bradotti, Paul Preciado and Fred Moten, amongst others.
The exhibition was part of South Rotterdam arts festival CHARLOIS SPECIAAL.
