Episode Synopsis

Full Title: Architectures of Hiding | The Art and Craft of Asking your Boss for a Raise: Josh Silver in conversation

Under the theme of Architectures of Hiding, The Art and Craft of Asking your Boss for a Raise attempts to access the dynamic material conditions of the past in its most banal, everyday forms, artefacts and their mechanisms, visualised and played-out in theatrical space (for this project, a stage adaptation of Georges Perec’s novella entitled The Art and Craft of Asking Your Boss for a Raise) utilising constraint operations (defined by Harry Mathews as, “A strict and clearly definable rule, method, procedure or structure that generates a [textual work],” expanded by Georges Perec as, “describable, definable [and] available to everyone.”). The podcast features Josh Silver in conversation with Ryan Stec, Artistic Director at Artengine, and Pallavi Swaranjali, co-convenor, Architectures of Hiding and co-coordinator of C R | P T | C.
