PARK LIFE
Park Life proposes a post-work condition in which activities once associated with labour are reorganised as forms of leisure, sport, and self-directed activity. Through the notion of daily life as a luxury leisure sport, Park Life offers a lens through which Martí Guixé reflects on broader social structures, behaviours, and forms of participation. Identified by Inga Knölke as a particularly resonant point of departure, Park Life frames a conversation that brings their two practices together publicly for the first time. Partners in life and work, Martí Guixé and Inga Knölke have shared decades of dialogue, exchange, and collaboration. They have each developed distinct bodies of work and perspectives. The evening offers an opportunity to discover where their positions intersect, diverge, and inform one another.
