Tim Etchells

A Non-academic Lecture. As Part Of »lola Arias: My Documents«

MY DOCUMENTS is a programme of lecture performances, where artists from different backgrounds present personal research, a radical experience, a story that secretly obsessed them. For MY DOCUMENTS, Lola Arias invited several artists, from dance, documentary film, installation and performance and theatre to delve into their personal archives.

In this new digital version, the artists will be virtually there, in their new domestic stage, showing their archive on a shared screen with the audience.The audience can see the performance live, make comments and exchange visions and insights afterwards. In times of Corona, let’s infect ourselves with ideas, stories and knowledge. Let’s share our screens for debate, love and social encounters!

In OR ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST Tim Etchells investigates his own physical and digital notebooks, in which he has gathered written materials of different kinds for more than 35 years. In these notebooks he has collected short texts; ideas, notes, lists and phrases of his own invention alongside fragments from overheard conversations, movies, graffiti, newspapers and books. Retrieved from boxes during the corona lockdown the notebooks contain seeds of a thousand narratives, some personal, others linked to political and social events and upheavals, some true some imaginary.
