HOW WE BEHAVE
Curator Grant Watson explored Foucault’s proposition that life can resemble a work of art. Couldn’t everyone’s life become a work of art? David Dibosa introduces Foucault’s epistemology. Foucault’s interview “How we behave” from 1983 is restaged in collaboration with If I Can’t Dance I Don’t want to Be Part Of Your Revolution. Adrian Rifkin talked about the aesthetics of being a Maoist, drawing on aspects of his own biography. AA Bronson will discuss Foucault’s concept folding together professional and biographical categories. Yael Davids develops with the audience, ideas about listening, recording and speaking.
