In contrast to our usual artistic language of appetites and hunger, the final Hacklab edition explored the idea of Sustenance. We talk about burning energy to produce, but less often about how art feeds us. We talk about consuming, but not about whether our work feeds ourselves and others. Sustenance recognises that for all our narratives about markets and success, many artists live below subsistence levels. What does it mean to find nourishment in what we do? Can we escape competitive models of creation that assume finite resources?
This Hacklab edition was co-hosted by Darsha Hewitt and Sophia Bulgakova, and housed at Radialsystem studios. The finale performance took place in Radialsystem Halle.
