Small wrists
- a collaborative research project for
Lydgalleriet, Bergen, 2015 Conceived by Hong-Kai Wang & Rune
Søchting
Small Wrists presents an iteration of an ongoing
collaborative research into the contemporary currency of ‘social
banditry’, a termed coined by the British Marx- ist historian Eric
Hobsbawm. Taking a script of an obscure Taiwanese high school play
titled Li?u Thiam-Ting as a point of departure, the project
instigates a series of “readings” respectively at Lydgalleriet and
Søreide Skole in attempting to generate a network of knowledge and
narratives.
* The project title Small Wrists alludes to the
Norwegian outlaw Gjest Baardsen (1791-1849) who was famous for his
jailbreaks due to his small wrists.
