Relationships that are constantly negotiated in the age of the Internet are explored in three dimensions by Andreas Angelidakis’s DEMOS - A Reconstruction.
The work consists of 74 foam modules that have been arranged for Nuit Blanche into a fixed structure designed by the artist. This amphitheatre-like space can be used as seating from which to watch three videos that trace the story of Angelidakis’s first Soft Ruin that was produced in 2007 to his current installation at MOCA.
Hiba Abdallah and Justin Langlois welcome visitors to a collective newspaper reading activity. Visitors will work with the artists to scroll through current newspaper articles and highlighting headlines, quotes, and arguments they disagree with. The exercise will emphasise how points of disagreement with representations of the world around us can be a catalyst for meaningful conversations.
Niki Landau, both a theatre artist and alternative dispute resolution practitioner, will facilitate conversations around disagreement through a series of exercises that help build useful skills such as self-awareness, listening, compassion, and mutual understanding.
The Department of Unusual Certainties, Pamila Matharu, Public Studio explore disagreement in different disciplines including urban geographies, pedagogy, and architecture.
