Lifes, Hammer’s Covid Policy and On-site Parking

Flyer for "Cosmic Riddem, Esoteric Rambunction & Eclectic Blue Cheer"

Lifes is a curatorial assemblage, an exercise in synthesis, a composite being, a living software, a durational sequence, a cacophony of intentions, a misunderstanding, a text that dances, an extended conversation, a voice in ruin, a mapping of relations, a lean into the future. Initiated by four commissioned texts and including contributions from more than fifty individuals from various creative fields, Lifes considers the legacy of the so-called total work of art and the possibilities and pitfalls of interdisciplinary art-making.
