PARALLEL ACTION

Leander Djønne / Anders Dahl Monsen



Friday 11 Dec 18.00 – Sunday 13 Dec 07.30


The Parallel Action will occupy Bastard next weekend with a 37,5 hour long seminar. That equals a normal working week in Norway.

The seminar will expand on various subjects such as the abolishment of political dissidents, the destruction and the redefinition of the body, fiction and non-fiction, collective and historical narratives, the collapse of middle-class militarist movements and the end of history -
the shit that used to work won´t work now.

From near and afar, from complex conditions to simple solutions, from life itself to its representation - speakers are invited to give talks, perform, screen films and discuss.
Food, drinks and sleeping quarters are available throughout the weekend.

Please come, please stay, please participate.
