Welcome to “Living contents”, a set of lectures, publications and performances by students and guests of the ReadingListeningSpeaking seminar at Erg Brussels.

Welcome to rile* for the live reading of If Repeatedly Then Reception, with Bryana Fritz, Quinsy Gario and Stefan Govaart. 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.

Welcome for the day-long launch of Family Nexus, a new publication by Sophie Nys, Maud Gourdon, Liene Aerts and Leila Peacock. With presentations on Saturday at 6, 7, 8 and 9pm.

Welcome to XENOTOPIA, a webinar-performance film by Quanta Qualia (Tomàs Dittborn & Siet Raeymaekers). XENOTOPIA is a tribute to the strange Other, to the shiny crack opening unto the unknown. "There is no inside except as a folding of the outside; the mirror cracks, I am an other, and I always was." (Mark Fisher)
