Recovery

Angebote / Angebote:

RECOVERY is an exhibition, an inquiry, a translative text. It seeks to vivify experience through a politics of gayness and an active demonstration of queerness. It engages with, in Marcel Mauss's term, "techniques of the body, " from discrete gestures to athletic maneuvers and intimate caresses. By exploring weakness, it reshapes everyday actions and words into poetic acts of recovery. The book begins in the diverse: RECOVERY is comprised of tracks (as in skiing, as in DJ-ing, as in walking) that readers are free to mix, to dance on, or to roam around in. Its prose, its poetry, its essays, and its translations are like method air. As in skateboarding, you are alone on your board, you ride the curbs, you jump the obstacles, you alley-oops (from the French "allez hop"), or you do darkslides, and yet you are never alone, you are doing it with other skateboarders. A painter painting alone in front of a cave looks like one of the rocks, onomatopoeias seem universal, but are not, a poem in Persian gets translated into a collaboration. RECOVERY was published originally in France as Récupérer. This English edition, translated by Cole Swensen and augmented by texts written directly in English by the author and collaborators, has been transformed to adapt to this new context.Poetry. Essay.
