Mereologies

PROJECT

Mereologies

During the residency they will use the physical and virtual rooms of WpZimmer to experiment with the notion of mereology – or the  study between whole and parts, or rather a queered version thereof. By inviting different types of  participation in the rooms we will explore through sound, language, movement and the very act of sharing space, research, food and  presence – the effects and affects of melding or distinguishing between certain experiences, histories and identities, fields of knowledge and practices. Through space-sharing co-ordination and improvisations, we will address the facilities and complexities of group, event or project making, their potential  dissolution – the murky waters in between – and their possible resurfacing.
