Artists Clara J:son Borg (SE/NL) and Michelle Mantsio (GR/AU) were hosted by the project space Yellow Brick for two weeks in January of 2018. They first met during a residency at the Banff Centre, Canada, winter 2017. Here they found common interests within their practices around language and the use of the human pronoun. Their first discussions revolved around the possible transformations of pronouns and how this could be translated into materiality, colour, sound and movement.
For one week at project space ONONO in Rotterdam and for two weeks at Yellow Brick in Athens, these artists set out to deepen the conversations they began at the Banff Centre. Their aim was to set up temporary unlearning research spaces, as they looked at performance strategies for the human pronoun and how this can exist through proximity, geography, audio, smell or architecture.
is a Swedish artist based in Rotterdam (NL). Her artistic practice is directed towards ontologies surrounding the human body, it’s performance strategies and political subject. By a non-representational movement practice and speech acts, she lets her works exist within a boundary area where human vulnerability intersects with political and social forces. She understands her work as an invitation to observe elements of interhuman relationships, social choreographies and knowledge hierarchies.
