Hari Marini and PartSuspended organise and run open sessions, in which artists and professionals from different disciplines with genuine interest in the intersection of performance art and contemporary life, meet, improvise and exchange artistic views and practices.
Book presentation/seminar for SPIRALS: Anthology
Experiential Translation Network: meaning-making across languages and the arts
Presentation:
Members of PartSuspended Artist Collective present aspects of SPIRALS (2013-ongoing), as well as some of the work published in their recent book SPIRALS: A multilingual poetry and art anthology (Tears in the Fence, Dorset: 2024).
Workshop:
The workshop explores ways that the form of a spiral can be translated through a variety of stimuli in a variety of art forms. The spiral acts as a sign of becoming, transforming and awareness that allows us to re-imagine the body’s relationship with organic forms, space and time. We base our work on the way that Spirals Open Archive has emerged, in response to prompts organised under the following headings: 1) SPIRALS: TIME, MEMORY, HOME 2) SPIRALS: SPACE, CITY, ECOLOGY 3) SPIRALS: SELF, DESIRE, DREAMS. The participants are invited to respond to one of these categories by writing, drawing, moving, performing, painting, taking a photograph, filming, recording. We experiment with verbal, physical and digital language exploring thresholds, migration, path, nature, home, circular movement, and sense of belonging. At the end of the workshop the participants present and/or perform their creation. Also, they are invited to submit their artwork to PartSuspended’s Spirals Open Archive.
PartSuspended ran a series of public workshops, gave an artist talk, and performed live at the AV School, Department of Audiovisual Arts, Ionian University, May 2022.
