Per/forming Pharmacy
Per/forming Pharmacy
Researcher/word hoarder Alex Wardrop and careful artist and Arts psychotherapist Georgina Huntley are per/forming pharmacy. Through mixing inscription potions we will ease, balance, disrupt, agitate, heal, hurt, cure and/or poison.
In our interactive arts installation we consider the emergency of the current historical moment through the collecting, categorising, collaging and sharing of words. Inscription positions will emerge to cure or poison the emergencies of this moment that you will share with us.
We will mix up a remedy – or a poison – for your nastiest ailments, existential angsts, calcified blockages of power, silly woes, serious worries, calm thoughts, political grief, beastly hurts, bad feelings or too obvious forgettings.
Our pharmacy is per/formed through our interactions with you. In sending us a word or short sentence of the emergency you want to be cured or poisoned, you become part of the formation of new meanings and maybe the de/re-formation of old ones.
Any healing emerging from our performance/art/pharmacy will be participatory and, sometimes, ambivalent.
For help with your emergency, please send us a word or sentence to: makinglearning@gmail.com
Alternatively come down to Trinity on 9th June between 14:00-17:00 and join in on the day.
We will mix up your remedy, or position, and put it in a bottle for collection at the Trinity Centre between 14:00 -17:00 on 9th June 2016.
