#29 Mixtape

Experience Manifestation #16: Descent into Fungal with sound by bk owusu

EN

During this manifestation we play a mixtape by bk owusu.

Every Thursday evening during this manifestation, artists, thinkers, designers, poets, makers and breakers will present and perform in the Central Space for the public and for the special mycelium installation, developed by Dutch design brand YUME YUME. We collectively take care of the fungal floor. The mycelium will respond to us being in the space together and will therefore carry a fragment of all of us whilst we internalize or embrace some of their networks. In addressing the human audience as well as the fungal, we are envisioning a world order on non-human grounds. Who is the host and who is the parasite?

NL

Tijdens deze manifestatie spelen we een mixtape af door bk owusu.

Elke donderdagavond tijdens deze manifestatie presenteren en performen kunstenaars, denkers, ontwerpers, dichters, makers en brekers in de Central Space voor het publiek en voor de speciale myceliuminstallatie, ontwikkeld door het Nederlandse design merk YUME YUME. We zorgen samen voor de myceliumvloer. Het mycelium zal reageren op ons samenzijn in de ruimte en zal daarom een stukje van ons allemaal meedragen terwijl we sommige van hun netwerken internaliseren of omarmen. Door zowel het menselijke publiek als het myceliumnetwerk aan te spreken, stellen we ons een wereldorde op niet-menselijke gronden voor. Wie is de host en wie is de parasiet?

Artist and architect Ola Hassanain intertwines family history with the materiality and temporality of water and clay. For this manifestation, Hassanain shares her ongoing visual research into the spatial implications of catastrophes. In this provocation the artist zooms in on an intimate ‘site of catastrophe’: her grandmother’s house.
