ABOUT:
“Within accelerated capitalism, pause and affect become tools of resistance; strategies to take back time, make space & reconnect with what's important.“
PAUSE & AFFECT was a nine month programme of curated and open call artist residencies at ]performance s p a c e [ (Folkestone). Each set of residencies offered an holistic opportunity for research & development for artists making performance art. The programme consisted of three strands: The Residents, The Rising & ]open s p a c e [
PAUSE & AFFECT fascilitated residential periods where artists were encouraged to embrace slowness as a creative methodology. At the core of the PAUSE & AFFECT programme was an insistance; that the primary resources required for all creative endeavour are those of time and space; enabling artists to tune in, recalibrate, experiment and grow - in order to then contribute exceptional art to our shared cultural landscapes.
