Sliding from dreams to trance to horror, Rana Hamadeh’s evolving video-work Standard_Deviation (I) ventures into Sophocles’ famed tragedy Oedipus Rex. Rather than re-narrating the misfortunes of Oedipus, king of Thebes, whose grievous journey of self-discovery unfolds at the height of the Theban plague, the work conducts a reading of the dramatic constructs of Sophocles’ play itself—that is, of his figuration of tragedy as a “technology of endurance.” Hamadeh’s phantasmagorical tableaux vivants are accompanied by a cacophonous sound composition. The preview of this new work, on show at Tent in Rotterdam, is accompanied by a conversation between Rana Hamadeh (DAI, 2009) and Katja den Dulk (DAI, 2017). Katja is an ex-artist who enjoys thinking about and tinkering with systems, simulations, and the means to manipulate the lived experience through a practice of pseudo-art as relating to science, similar to how art intersects with pseudo-science.

Olga Micińska (DAI, 2018) will launch Amanda, inspired by the Tradeswomen, a magazine for women in blue-collar work published in the 80's and 90's in the United States.  Amanda discusses matters of technology and industry from a feminist (not only female) perspective.  The first issue contains fiction stories of an emancipatory character, citing trade associations, oil industry in Iran and ghosts of the printer feeders. During the event at Framer Framed in Amsterdam, there will be an elaboration on the idea behind the publication. A fragment of story Frances's Threads by Samantha McCulloch (DAI, 2019) will be read and the legacy of the Tradeswomen magazine will be honored. November 10, 2022 at 19:00.
