Practicing Reciprocity: adjusting the substrates.
Reflecting on poetry and theory, as well as artistic and curatorial practices that abandon, adjust, reflect or adopt institutionalised infrastructures and other inherited legacies, this gathering will also open up space to consider relationality and reciprocity as practices, and explore what an “ethics of incommensurability” might entail.
I will look to the theoretical and poetic practices of thinkers like Irmgard Emmelhainz, who follows Eve Tuck and K Wayne Yang’s call for an ethics of incommensurability; poet Layli Long Soldier who - in her long poem Whereas - dissects the flawed legal substrate of the 2009/2010 Apology to Native Peoples of the United States; M. Nourbese Philip, whose long poem ZONG is based structurally on the legal documents produced in a brutal insurance case of the Dutch slave ship Zong; and artist Anna Boghiguian’s tethering together of trade and human migration routes and infra-structures, substructures and substrates. I come at these questions in the context of my work as Director/Curator of the small non-collecting museum SBC Gallery in Montréal (2012-2019), looking at institutional practices within the changing geopolitics in that region over the past 8 years.
