Editorial Tables: Reciprocal Hospitalities is an exhibition and public programme bringing together the publishing practices of Ruth Beale, Sezgin Boynik: Rab-Rab Press, Minna Haukka & Kristin Luke: The Mobile Feminist Library, Minna Henriksson, Rose Nordin and Elham Rahmati & Vidha Saumya: NO NIIN magazine.
Editorial Tables celebrates the production and dissemination of knowledge through the act of independent, experimental and artist-led publishing, with a focus on intersecting feminist and decolonial perspectives. The project involves a range of publishing, archiving, print and distribution practices by artists, curators and art workers; bringing these into relation and dialogue in the lead-up to the realisation of the exhibition at The Showroom.
Throughout the eight-week duration of the show, a public programme bringing publics and artists together will activate matters, material and processes presented in the exhibition.
Join us in the opening week, on Wednesday 25 January, 4-8pm and Thursday 26 January, 10am-1pm for a two-day programme of talks, workshops and performative interventions from the contributing artists, designers, publishers and curators in dialogue with invited guests. Full programme to be announced next week!
Further activities, including a workshop with Ruth Beale and The Hundred Club as well as screenings, zine-making and a reading group and will take place over the course of the exhibition.
Exhibition continues 25 January-18 March 2023
Open Wednesday-Saturday, 12-6pm
Editorial Tables: Reciprocal Hospitalities is a collaborative project between The Showroom, Frame Contemporary Art Finland and the Finnish Institute in the UK and Ireland. It forms The Showroom core exhibitions and public programme in 2023; and is part of Frame Contemporary Art Finland’s public programme Rehearsing Hospitalities, culminating in 2023 with a series of collaborations in London, New York and Oslo.
Throughout Rehearsing Hospitalities, fostering new and existing collaborations has been critical in an exploration of diverse practices of hospitality. Building on relationships cultivated over the last four years, the final edition co-hosts this series of exhibitions, fellowships and public programmes.
