November: Reading Performance with 楔 Xiē

04.12.2022 / 15:00 – 16:00
With Hao Jingban

楔 Xiē (Wedge) is a collective comprising the artists Hao Jingban, Shen Xin, Yunyu “Ayo” Shih, and writer Qu Chang.

Echoing with the wooden wedge tool that works to penetrate, connect, lift, and restructure, 楔 Xiē functions as a growing set of tactics that embeds individuals, events and worlds into one another. To work with a Xiē (wedge) involves a series of actions that is at once disruptive and restorative. As one of the exercises the members of Xiē practice with an extended network of friends, November presents a textual/vocal collage comprised of news pieces, personal writings, and article excerpts collected in the month of November, 2022. The linkages and ruptures between different regions, phenomena, and sentiments aim to rework one’s relationship with their surroundings, while experimenting a process of collaborative re-worlding.
