Event Description

What does it mean to live with unsolvable realities? How does facing death and grief contribute to life-affirming practices? How do we find balance between the personal and the political, between theory and practice? Let’s talk!

This lecture will be combined with the publication presentation of S06E01 ‘Slochteren Mourning Diary’, featuring texts by Staci Bu Shea & Artun Alaska Arasli.

About

Staci Bu Shea (b. Miami, 1988) is a curator, writer, and death doula based in Utrecht, Netherlands. Broadly speaking, Bu Shea gathers with others on aesthetic, critical, and poetic practices of social reproduction and care work, as well as their expressions in interpersonal relationships, daily life, community organizing, and institutional practice. Bu Shea's debut publication Dying Livingly will be released in November 2024 by Sternberg Press as part of the Solution Series edited by Ingo Niermann.

Bu Shea was a curator at Casco Art Institute: Working for the Commons (Utrecht, 2017-2022) and co-curator of Barbara Hammer: Evidentiary Bodies at Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art (New York, 2017). Bu Shea holds an MA from the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College (Annandale-on-Hudson, 2016).

About the Resort

The resort investigates the behavior of an art initiative and seeks new paths, questioning the old and making suggestions. It tests how the arts stand firm in environments where they do not yet have a fixed position, choosing both monumental architecture and the fringes where the (previous) function of the environment plays an important role. The resort seeks wildcards: unusual combinations of artists and environments where the outcomes are uncertain. Through its episodes, the resort aims to provide an escape from daily existence, telling the story of art, misunderstanding, prosperity, ambiance, and champagne.
