The Dancing Table - Guillaume Jannes

Guillaume Jannes (masterclass) is a Brussels-based artist and illustrator researching queer storytelling and narrative structures. Their Masterclass titled The Dancing Table will explore zine-making through experimental printing and wood carving.
Combining strategies proposed by Sara Ahmed, Rita Davis and the queer history of publishing the artist submerges the participants in a moment of oblique creation. The Dancing Table, is a workshop to collectively create a table as a narrative object, starting from the notion that objects are not passive, that they in fact have the capacity to touch you back. It is a relationship where two bodies collide to tell each other a story, to make impressions on each other, to change each others anatomy.
The workshop will consist of collectively carving into a wooden tablesurface during conversations about textual and photographic material brought by the particpants. Afterwords the artist will use the table as a printing tool to make a publication/reader/zine that reflects the impressions left on this table.
PRACTICALS
Each participant is invited to bring a textual and/or photographic content to use as a substance for conversation.
