TEXT_SUB_ʇXƎʇ tells a many-sided story of five years of artistic production at ZK/U. Listeners are invited to explore some of the many ideas, wishes and aims of the institution as 'text' in relationship to the concrete realities which surrounds it as a 'subtext'. With the comparison of text and subtext, the idea of a single text — meaning the one possible narrative of reality — is questioned. TEXT_SUB_ʇXƎʇ aims to describe ZK/U as a local, international, spatial and creative organism based on different modes of understanding and interpretation. It thereby presents the institution with an invitation to enter into a discussion with itself and others. 

A collaboration between Alex Head, Lotta Schäfer and Rafael Polo.
