Halfway House @ House Gallery presents

The way we read: performance / text / image

30th July 2010

If seeing establishes our way of being in the world, how do we read this world? How do we interpret what we see, the people and things that we encounter in our life? How is meaning produced and manipulated in this context? We can never look at just one thing; we are always looking at the relation between ourselves and the object. This relationship between what we see and what we know is therefore never fixed. Things are not as they seem.

The way we read is curated by performance maker and choreographer Antje Hildebrandt who will be presenting her performance lecture Open Offer for Elbow Room. The evening also includes work by artists Stuart Alexander and Dori Deng.
