K-TIME AT HANGAR THIS SATURDAY
K-TIME: Conversation and music session with McKenzie Wark and El Palomar at Hangar.
On Sunday 12 February at 12 noon, Caja Negra presents K-TIME, the second activity as an orbiter collective at Hangar. At this gathering, the publisher is once again using the twofold format of conversation and music session, remaining faithful to the belief that writing and dance are related practices.
Taking advantage of McKenzie Wark’s visit to Spain, participants will have the chance to hear her share ideas which were already present in Reverse Cowgirl but become the core of the plot in her new book, Raving. Here, Wark writes: ‘K-time is that sideways time, that pocket in time where there is more time. This is a story about the need for it, the chase for it. Ravers need to rave for all sorts of reasons. This transsexual body needs it to practice the arts of dissociation. This other time, the k-time, only occurs in the rave continuum. A dissociative time, a transsexual time, a ketamine time.’
Alongside her, El Palomar will present the research from their project There Must Be Justice, an album created wholly by trans and non-binary artists, including the graphic design and mastering, which they themselves define as a safe sound space that encompasses text and music and is capable of detonating other potential spaces. The album is a compilation of remixes from the original soundtrack of the project Schreber Is a Woman, an exercise of memory and empowerment based on Schreber case, when being trans was framed as a pathology in the field of psychology.
