A quiet break during the day.

A hypothetical depiction.

This events aims to celebrate and give value to the objects that surround the art worker’s practice. It promotes an understanding of art production as coming out of situated lives lived in the world over time.  We understand the artist or writer as not only a maker of objects but also as someone who thinks about the world in which they live, someone who transmutes everyday experience into a telling object or image, that is, a thing that tells us of other things.
