a performative walk by Barbara Holub and Jaspar Jospeh-Lester

The Walk, The Parade, The Pavilion and The Sticker.
A performative walk & risograph sticker printing workshop between Van Abbe Museum and Onomatopee.

Walks, parades, maps and stickers function as powerful tools. They can unearth how physical and immaterial forces are interwoven, and act as a forensic exercise that reveals elements of unnoticed livelihood, traces of profound mutations, and poetic moments that stand as (in)visible markers of the life of a city.
The walk between Van Abbe Museum and Onomatopee will look at specific urban conditions of two cities, Eindhoven and Chemnitz (former Karl-Marx-City). At first glance, these two cities don’t appear to have any obvious connections or similarities. However, through the process of walking, parading and mapping we will begin to understand how the silent and ephemeral forces that meet us on the street speak of the causal connections that bind these two cities together.The group walk will be followed by a Riso printing workshop at Onomatopee, where there will be an opportunity to design and print stickers inspired by the walk.
The publication The Walk, The Parade, The Pavilion and The Sticker: A dialogue between two post-industrial cities focuses on the walk as an artistic method and addresses the ambivalence between a ‘walk’ and a ‘parade’. The talk, walk and workshop are led by Barbara Holub and Jaspar Joseph-Lester, in collaboration with Van Abbe Museum and Onomatopee

The Walk, The Parade, The Pavilion and The Sticker was realized in the frame of SPACEX-Spatial Practices of Art and Architecture for Empathetic Exchange
