HOSPITALITY
With
Krzysztof Wodiczko
9th issue of Voice Over.
This time we explore the idea of hospitality and the reversible relationship between host and guest.
This is the first printed issue of Voice Over!
The issue features an extensive conversation with international artist Krzysztof Wodiczko and art critic Christophe Domino on the social reversibility of host and guest, acknowledging contribution, and his theory of scandalous functionalism.
Michael Kaethler & Davo Liver, introduce the issue opening a wide perspective on hospitality and its surprising stakes.
Alison Duncan and Dagmara Stephan explore the relationship between guests and hosts in biology, or what a virus can teach about love.
Alice Fraccaro tackles hospitality through a reflection on multispecies.
Marie-Claire Klassen & Vincenzo Zuppardo, reflect on their experience of the infamous wall erected by Israel and question the duality of architecture in shaping life between communities.
Oana Sanziana Marian’s intimate text suggests grief as a space in time where roles can be left for the benefit of communion.
Riccardo Varini reflects on a national pavilion and its possibility to become a liminal space for experimenting with communities.
Julia Montfort tells us about her experience in hosting an irregular immigrant within his family and how this changed her as a journalist now engaged in building a narrative of hospitality.
