Mondial Reading Performance, Half-time
Job KoelewijnIn December 2007, Job Koelewijn launched a reading marathon. Volunteers read out loud passages from Benedictus de Spinoza’s Ethics.
Half-way through this marathon performance, W139 will present the materials that have been gathered together so far in the form of an installation by Job Koelewijn in the front space.
16 locations will be visited in total, resulting in a larger installation, and an audio book, restoring wholeness to the collected fragments.
"The Manifestation My Name is Spinoza is an initiative of the Amsterdam Spinoza Circle, developed by SKOR (Foundation Art and Public Space) and in corporation with Foundation Spinoza Centrum Amsterdam."
