Vik Bayer & Michael Reindel with Rosalyn D’Mello

Enacting “Material Notions of Seeding”

The performance enacts the nature of networks and the play with nonlinear time, picking up on central themes in the book  Material Notions of Seeding, which presents a critical perspective on various ecologies.

Eat My Fruit

Gregor Neuerer & Elka (Elku) Krajewska often collaborate while living on two different continents. Whenever apart, they turn to books—often poetry books, or texts they wrote together—to feel close and keep their minds in synch. Based on a poem about a mulberry tree growing near Augarten, Vienna, that they wrote together in 2019, Eat My Fruit will be a two-channel live sound installation: one transmitted from New York, the other from the garden of the Secession—both in synch and out of synch. They will negotiate between a synchronous reading of the poem and an asynchronous reading of the annotations, creating in the process a new text that allows them to reach out to each other over distance and include the audience in a space of intimate exchange.
