Saturday Hangout: Dear know-it-all, how did sentences come to exist?
This workshop, titled Dear know-it-all, how did sentences come to exist? and conceived by Inga Charlotte Thiele and Laura Hinrichsmeyer, is dedicated to the poet Bernadette Mayer. Based on her often dialogical writing, texts by Bernadette Mayer (among others) will be read together, writing instructions will be given and written works will be discussed. The workshop will focus in particular on Mayer’s Writing Experiments (L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E #3, 1978), as well as the question-and-answer exchange between Bernadette and the poet Bill Berkson, titled What’s Your Idea of A Good Time? which was published in 2006 and started around 1977.
acts as an exhibition space, host, publisher and bookshop with a focus on writing and text in the context of artistic practices. Founded in 2023 by Inga Charlotte Thiele, Prosopopoeia experiments with different forms of community and articulates the understanding that both exhibiting and writing are social gestures. Prosopopoeia (Greek προσωποποιία, prosōpopoiía) is a rhetorical device whereby a speaker or writer communicates to the audience by speaking as another person or object.
