Exploring the intersection between cultural production, cognitive capitalism, the politics of sleep and its psychocultural implications
Developed by Amsterdam-based Slovenian artist and researcher Andrea Knezovic (born 1990) in collaboration with editor-curator Agata Bar, curator Tia Cicek and graphic designer Miquel Hervás Gómez, Nocturnalities: Bargaining Beyond Rest looks at how technology can assist, instead of coopting, care urgencies and needs. What is rest if not the space of safety? How can we use or appropriate care methodologies in capitalism and create little oases of comfort, exchange and "communal comradeship"? The value of this work is embedded in the way it offers different--local and international--perspectives and understandings of how we relate to the politics of rest, negotiate institutional and intimate care, and imagine varieties of care systems and healing strategies within a local setting. The intent is not necessarily to offer one solution to the larger inquiry but to allow a plurality of voices and contributions to be heard, expressed and remembered.
Contributors include: Andrea Knezovic, Angeliki Tzortzakaki, Angels Miralda, Katia Krupnikova, Katja Praznik, Laura Mrksa & Sepp Eckenhaussen, Meghana Karnik, Rita Ouedraogo, Silvio Lorusso, Tia Cicek, Titus Nouwens, Eloise Vo.
