CARE + ATTEND

Care + Attend (curated by Emma Cocker and Joanne Lee) is part of a 2 day event entitled Unconditional Love organised by The Society for Artistic Research Spring Event taking place 30 April – 1 May 2015 at Chelsea College of the Arts / University of the Arts London.
Care + Attend comprises a constellation of fragments and extracts - of different intensities and durations - where the exposition of research emerges as a poetic and performative event, generating moments of potential resonance and dialogue. This event explores the theme Unconditional Love through the principles (perhaps even methodologies) of care and attention, as applied within specific (artistic) practices of both the everyday and of the self. Beginning with the observation that both curate and curiosity have shared etymology in the term ‘care’, Care + Attend seeks to develop a research vocabulary based on receptivity, openness, fidelity, integrity, intimacy, friendship and commitment (whilst not ignoring the parallel principles of distraction, inattention, the act of closing one’s eyes or of looking away).

This exposition is entitled Wording: on Collaborative Writing in Public Space, in short Wording. It is a continuous non-conclusive working space and a collection of research on collaborative writing. The aim of this attempt at writing is to shape a public space using words and to position ourselves in shared spaces and reciprocated texts. Wording has a performative quality as writers in public space are observed themselves, and the question is if this collective writing experiment acts as a countertext to the commodification of our corporeal selves. Wording is inspired by Georges Perec and his experimental work "An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris" from 1974 and is facilitated by Lena Séraphin.
Close Reading/Live Writing

This 'exposition' is very much a work-in-progress/working process which I will be developing over the next year or so.
Close Reading: an ongoing series of investigations by Emma Cocker which applies close visual attention to language, looking at the materiality of words ‘close up’ through processes of visual magnification, microscopic observation. Under scrutiny, text can be pressured into its component parts (of ink and page), the sense or legibility of a word rendered nonsensical the closer it is attended to, as writing slips towards image, as meaning dissipates into pleats and folds. Here, the more language becomes scrutinized the less it becomes known.
Live Writing: A not-yet language for reflecting on the not-quite-seen or captured, for remaining faithful to the experience of something glimpsed. In the flick and skim of both writing and reading, words themselves are not always distinguishable as discrete signifying units but instead appear liquid, their sense indeterminate, meaning blurred.
