Thinking through holes: Becky Šik and Sukaina Kubba | Online event

Thinking through holes:
A creative response to research
Becky Šik and Sukaina Kubba

As part of Becky Šik’s new exhibition Mercury, we’re pleased to invite you to a special online event that will creatively respond to the research and methods around the work. 

Mercury centres on a new experimental moving image work which interlaces a fragmented narrative with an evocative resonating soundtrack composed with homemade magnetic instruments.

For this event, hosted on Zoom, Becky will be joined by artist Sukaina Kubba to produce a new creative response to Mercury and to pick up on themes and threads that informed the film.

In particular, Becky and Sukaina will draw on the theoretical-fiction novel Cyclonopedia by Reza Negarestani, using this book and its idea of ‘plot-holes’ and ‘Hidden Writing’ to weave their shared interests through a public reading.

The event will include an open discussion and a chance to ask both artists questions. Tickets free (donations requested) but pre-booking is essential via Eventbrite.

Becky’s film Mercury will be available to view online in advance of the event via a link in your ticket confirmation email.

Mercury is also showing in the Hillside space at Collective as part of our Satellites Programme for emerging practitioners until 11 July.
