If Repeatedly Then Reception

rile* is a bookshop and project space for publication and performance in Brussels. rile* is into poetry, theory, choreography, artist writing and various other text based experiments. rile* organizes performances, meetings, launches, readings... rile* is the base word for silence in Láadan, a feminist constructed language developed by Suzette Haden Elgin in 1982. The language was included in her science fiction Native Tongue series. Láadan contains a number of words that are used to make unambiguous statements that include how one feels about what one is saying. According to Elgin, this is designed to counter language's limitations to those who are forced to respond I know I said that, but I meant this.Our bookshop is open on Wednesday and Thursday from 11h to 17h, and from Friday to Sunday from 11h to 18.30h.62 Rue Commerçants 1000 Brussels - BE

We invite you to rile* for the live reading of If Repeatedly Then Reception, with Bryana Fritz, Quinsy Gario and Stefan Govaart.From 19h00-22h00 on Saturday and Sunday 26-27 June, Bryana Fritz, Quinsy Gario and Stefan Govaart will offer reading sessions. You can register for a session via the link above (coming soon). Each reading cycle lasts 30-45 minutes. If Repeatedly Then Reception was conceived by Stefan Govaart in collaboration with rile*.If Repeatedly Then Reception reads texts repeatedly. More than one, it summons simultaneity and seeks a third sentence. Day one draws together a selection of texts by authors who wrote with devotion unto us the readers. Day two offers devotions the readers wrote themselves. Reading and receiving are acts of repetitive labor to which you are devoted. The body charges––is charged by––the violence of reception that is its repeated condition of possibility, not its mark of inadequacy. Your repetition and receptivity are not your own. You are beholden. Acts are postures of reproduction––the forming of the formed––held by misreadings: always misunderstood. Repetition and reception imply the social dimension of a body, the way it exceeds the one who bears or does it, even as that one remains inchoately singular. Amidst differentially enforced deprivation, abjection and surplus, you are social crafting and socially crafted by. There is no end. The given scission cannot be told apart from its presentation. What&#x27;s riven and received? What&#x27;s the transaction? Who&#x27;s charged? You who over this site I graft, reception is into us is into us.[Schedule]Saturday 26th19h00 Stefan Govaart - Psalm 119 and You (The Cow, 2006) by Ariana Reines20h00 Bryana Fritz - Si muero en la carretera (1970) by Virgilio PiñeraTranslation into English: Martin Zicari, Alex Reynolds, Slow Reading Club Translation into French: Cyriaque Villemaux, Martin Zicari, Slow Reading Club21h00 Quinsy Gario - Cannibalist Manifesto (1928) by Oswald de AndradeTranslation into English: Leslie Bary Sunday 27th19h00 Quinsy Gario - i&#x27;ve been commissioned to talk to you20h00 Bryana Fritz - Portrait of Saint Catherine of Siena (excerpt from Submission Submission)21h00 Stefan Govaart - The Center of Grace***Bryana Fritz is a choreographer and dancer based in Brussels. Her work situates itself at the intersection between literature and performance, and often does so in duet with the user interface of OS X. Her work is fed by a continued engagement with medieval history, fanfiction, media studies, feminism, and histories of illiteracy. Currently she is working on a longer-term performance project entitled Submission Submission, a hagiographic codex which seeks to portrait the subversive strategies of Medieval women saints. Since 2016, she has been collaborating with Henry Andersen under the moniker Slow Reading Club, a semi-fictional reading group that deals in constructed situations for collective reading. Fritz studied at the University of Minnesota (USA), Folkwang Universität der Künste (DE), and graduated from the P.A.R.T.S. (BE) training and research program in 2014. She has since worked as a dancer and performer for Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Xavier Le Roy, Boris Charmatz, and Michiel Vandevelde, amongst others. As a writer, she has published essays in The Floor is Uneven. Does It Slope?, En Plein Air: Ethnologies of the Digital, Extra Extra magazine, Etcetera magazine, a.o. Quinsy Gario is a performance poet and artist from Curaçao and St. Maarten. His work centers on decolonial remembering. Gario&#x27;s most well-known work is Zwarte Piet Is Racisme (2011–2012). As a member of the collective Family Connection established in 2005 by Glenda Martinus and Gala Martinus, respectively his mother and aunt, his current research is looking into cultural practices of refusal, resistance and marronage practiced by people on the islands in the Caribbean that have Dutch colonization in common. He is a Utrecht University media studies, gender studies and postcolonial studies alumnus and a graduate of the Master Artistic Research program of the Royal Academy of Art The Hague. He is a 2017 Humanity in Action Detroit Fellow, 2017/2018 BAK Fellow, 2019/2020 APASS participant and a 2020/2021 Sandberg Institute Critical Studies Fellow. Gario received the Royal Academy Master Thesis Prize 2017, the Black Excellence Award 2016, the Amsterdam Fringe Festival Silver Award 2015, The Kerwin Award 2014 and the Hollandse Nieuwe Theatermakers Prize 2011. His work has been shown in among other places Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven), MACBA (Barcelona), Latvian National Museum of Art (Riga), Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam), MHKA (Antwerp), TENT (Rotterdam) and Göteborgs Konsthall (Gothenburg). Gario is also ran for Dutch parliament as a candidate for the intersectional political party BIJ1.Stefan Govaart engages dance, performance, poetry and theory to draw out histories, gestures and locution that have a convoluted relationship with their own sense of continuity. The focus on syntactical detail, timbre of voice and the ascetic body seek a disciplined grammar held by misreading, performative catachresis, but also negativity. Govaart holds an MA in Cultural Analysis from the University of Amsterdam, with a thesis on post-1970 critique, trans-aesthetics, and a temporality termed &quot;the nonsequitur&quot;. Govaart works as a dancer and performer (Eszter Salamon, Mathias Ringgenberg, Adriano Wilfert Jensen, Chloe Chignell a.o.) and teaches theory at P.A.R.T.S. (Brussels). With Bojana Cvejić, Eleanor Ivory Weber and Nikhil Vettukattil, Govaart organizes SpringMeeting, a week-long event with invited guests across academic and artistic disciplines, held at Performing Arts Forum (France). Oftentimes asked to think along, translate, edit, or conceptualize, Govaart&#x27;s practice is embedded in a series of collaborations. With Marija Cetinić, a book project tentatively titled Your receptivity is not your own––structured around five concepts: Sentence, Woman, Sex, Negation and Essence––is forthcoming with the new press petites formes. Bookings are required. The capacity is limited in accordance with the current COVID-19 measures. It is mandatory to wear a mask during the session.[image credit: Stefan Govaart, you be me for me, 2020]
