All that you touch You Change. All that you Change Changes you<\/em>, within the exhibition A new job to unwork at<\/em>, Artspace, New Haven, CT, curated by Andrew Kachel and Clara Lo\u0301pez Mene\u0301ndez.<\/p>\n

Durational participatory action; wood table, 180 cm in diameter covered with 340 kg clay, wall drawing apprx. 2 x 3, 5 m, Artspace staff and other invited participants, recurring score including instructions and questions to engage with during weekly one-hour se\u0301ances. 2016-2017<\/p>\n

For A new job to unwork at<\/a><\/em> YES! Association \/ F\u00f6reningen JA! proposed a space of social and material entanglement, manifesting through a round table covered with clay. Clay is a pliable matter that floats and lingers between notions of work, use value, and the sphere of the hobby, accessory to an “unproductive” activity performed during leisure time. Clay is a porous territory that registers the hands that shape it, tracking the moods that surround it. Once a week during the exhibition period, people will meet around the clay table for an hour. For every meeting, YES! Association \/ F\u00f6reningen JA! will propose different questions relating to aspects of work and unwork, as well as instructions on how to engage with the clay. These meetings will be attended by two different groups: the staff of Artspace, and a group of individuals coming from diverse parts of New Haven’s art community. The former group is getting paid for this hour, and will engage in the meeting \u2013 or s\u00e9ance as the artists call it \u2013 during office hours; the latter group is not getting paid. <\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

The instructions \/ question that the two groups are asked to engage with during the s\u00e9ances are as follows: <\/p>\n

Engage the clay with the Karl Marx quote: “All that is solid melts into air<\/strong>“. \/ How do you make up a “we”?
\nEngage the clay with the Sadie Plant quote: “Those were the days when we were all at sea<\/strong>.” \/ Are you ready?
\nMake a fire<\/strong>! \/ Are you angry?
\nEngage the clay with the Audre Lorde quote: “I come from the earth<\/strong>‘s inside.” \/ Are\u00a0you\u00a0working\u00a0right\u00a0now?<\/p>\n

During the opening December 2, 2016 a group of volunteers and the curators of the exhibition engaged the instruction \/ question:
\nUnpack the clay. Place it on the table. Work it through until it covers the table evenly.\u2028 \/ Are\u00a0you\u00a0working\u00a0right\u00a0now?<\/p>\n

The last s\u00e9ance took place on February 25, 2017 as part of the Symposium<\/em> and was open to the public. This s\u00e9ance was lead by YES! Association \/ F\u00f6reningen JA!. The instruction \/ question were:
\nEngage the clay with the sixth sense. \/ What will happen?<\/p>\n

This project erupted from a brief and intense entanglement with Kristine Anthis. <\/p>\n
