Critical Care
/ (A Lecture Thing)
«What happened to care? Who cares? Do we care? I think this care thing is critical; it's the missing piece of the democracy puzzle that presupposes that we are all self-sustaining and have equal abilities. Care is so bound up with the neo liberal project of self-mastery, self-improvement and subjectivity enhancement. Critical Care could be a strategic form of interdependence that temporarily dissipates the endless competition and isolation that capital generates. What if caring for others and ourselves were a radical act of slowing down, listening and creating spaces together that disrupt the production assembly line of social code.
I don't want to save the world but I do want to investigate a critical, queer and future inspired version of care that is not paternal, humanist, abelist, bio political or attached to exchange value. I want to talk about a few artists including myself who practice different forms of care in the context of the battlefield. What does this possibly impossible version of care look like?»
