As a continuation of Rehearsals of Metabolising, we invite you to participate in a script writing session led by Steph Holl-Trieu anda reading group led by Johannes Porsch. Together we will engage with selected texts from Porsch's text assemblage Retrospective Repertoire, which reflects on the ways in which artistic knowledge is produced and archived within the epistemes and modalities of an art space. Within a given score of not yet knowing, the texts become a repertoire to interact with, observe and collectively deconstruct. The script writing workshop with Steph Holl-Trieu is based on the publicly accessible Score for Rehearsals of Metabolising. As a proposal to digest shared experiences, it invites participants to contribute to a collectively written multilogue that takes the form of a screenplay, wherein personal thoughts, memories and reflections are channeled through fictional voices. By performing the score, participants metabolise archives that are typically difficult to document—whether carried by the fragile vaults of human memory, the fleeting vibrations of oral conversations, the embodied inscriptions of lived experience.

Through reading, writing, rehearsing and metabolising, we will explore how discourse/exhibition-making generates multiple positions, figures and sites of relational interaction, leading to ever new protocols that in turn create recursive loops.

The workshop will take place on Thurday, April 24, 2025, 5-9pm
To participate, please RSVP to office@kevinspace.org until noon on April 24.

Steph Holl-Trieu is an artist and writer whose work engages the social relations that condition modes of perceiving, the production of meaning, and experience—both abstract and lived. Through writing, installation, sound, performative readings, and (role-playing) games, she constructs frameworks to disengage from and recompose structures of sense-making. Her work unfolds iteratively and is often situated in collaborative or collective settings.

Johannes Porsch works as an artist, curator, and author. In so-called project proposals / (pp), the postmedial intersection of exhibition, publication, and materials of publicity, the serial linking of space, surface, object, image, and text he works regarding infrastructure and performativity, politics of representation and corresponding processes of subjectivation
