Page 53 - Mistranslation Laboratory: An Unfolding

This workshop involves attending to the flesh of the world and allowing the structures and emotions of things to be traced by the humble technology of the crayon.
Content warnings for this workshop involve: eye contact, sharing in group, and potential touching of dirty things.
Does anyone have any discomfort regarding these activities? If so please feel free to retire to the discarded margin of the laboratory and engage in some therapeutic scrubbing and sorting.
Many of you will have undertaken rubbings before. In its basic form, rubbings involves placing your paper over a surface or object and tracing it with a crayon.
However, today we will be emotionally tuning with the skin of the world. We have just 1 minute and 37 seconds to go outside and form a relationship with the texture of the space that holds us. We will rub a crayon over paper to catch an outline of the skin of the world.
Our time, begins now.
We would now like you to name your rubbing as if it was going to be exhibited in an art gallery. We have just one minute to decide on these names.
And now it is circle time. We do understand that some people do not like group, sharing in circles, or being asked to say things: for those of you we encourage you move to the discarded margins and engage in some therapeutic scrubbing and sorting.
Let’s just go round and anyone who wants to can share their rubbing and its name with the group.
If you are happy to gift your rubbing for exhibition in the laboratory, please leave it with our laboratory assistant.
