Le Club de lecture — Third meeting

Le club de lecture [the reading club] offers a space for formal and dialogical exploration around the notion of “corespiration” [co-breathing], which alludes to an intimate relationship, a silent event, but fundamentally as the prefix implies, one with or one together. Conceived as a series of temporal interventions, the workshop involves shared readings that open us up to observing the world around us and to adapt our breathing rhythm to the ecosystems in which we all live. Theoretical and poetic references, as well as presented works, will serve to materialize some of the issues around the idea of “corespiration” [co-breathing].

Although recent upheavals in our community left us feeling out of touch, this club was founded as a logical response to social distancing: a letter-writing project that slowly infuses the artist’s and curator’s ideas and observations. Much like respiration, this transformation of the present into fuel takes us to the heart of their practice, where questions ignite, juggling with theory and the breath that goes hand in hand with an art practice.
