‘Our feast has a forerunner: Plato’s banquet during the plague. Diotima, what causes you sadness? What confidence stops oblivion? The alleyways of the heart drive away the desert darkness, open the door for friendship. Are these the spells of Mary the Harpist? Coiled in her hands by a trick of fate. The Arabian hurricane plays on her harp. The last pledge, perhaps, of immortality.’
The Event is an international biannual art festival in Birmingham, this year drawn to the thematic of Plato’s Symposion (385–380 BC), a text that beats with ‘the genesis, purpose and nature of love’. The ten-day festival comprises exhibitions, publications, encomiums, food parcels, performances, screenings and new commissions, including an evening of performance curated by Boris Ondreička of Tranzit.org, featuring Jan Verwoert, Karl Holmqvist, Emily Roysdon and more.

‘We Will Live, We Will See’ is an exhibition that brings together a number of international artists whose practices examine the relationships between time, memory and forgetting. The show, curated by Pavel S. Pyś, pursues the potential that works of art may act as the lens through which the past is reconfigured, reinterpreted and made relevant today. Their meaning and specificity alters over time, producing a sense of temporality that is malleable and fluid. ‘We Will Live, We Will See’ draws upon such works to consider the past, not in terms of a normative ‘truth’, but rather in terms of unravelling, replaying and remaking.

It is a highly choreographed situation in which patent-leather shoes on a black wool carpet move around a pentagonal white pattern, shiny marbles roll and stop for an enigmatic reason at the exact angle of the pentagon, people in black suits bend down and get up, all directed towards the same axis: an invisible space situated in the centre of the pentagon that does not move… it repeats indefinitely…
Curated by Raimundas Malašauskas
