Utterances: Composing a Care-Informed Research Practice in the Cracks by The Promiscuous Care Study Group
Description of the project by HumDrumPress:
Utterances: Composing a Care-Informed Research Practice in the Cracks is a humble offering towards an alternative artistic-research practice that is guided by an ethics of care.
Utterances proposes the ‘check in’ as an invitation, as well as a structure, dialogue, and reality that begins with the lived experience of the body, combined with the visceral experiences of sharing intimate spaces together. This approach opens space for collecting impressions, allowing for tensions and gaps, speaking and being silent, presence and non-presence, note taking and taking note, all as an ongoing process of caring coalition building.
The book features an eclectic palette of typefaces, spanning Authentic Sans 60 (Christina Janus, Desmond Wong), DINdong (Clara Sambot), Euripides (Tanvi Sharma), and Victor Mono (Rune Bjørnerås) to Velvetyne's collection showcasing Abordage Regular (Eugénie Bidaut), Compagnon Regular (Juliette Duhé, Léa Pradine) and Italic (Valentin Papon), and Director (Justine Herbel, May Jolivet).
Utterances was written by The Promiscuous Care Study Group and co-published by HumDrumPress and Meteoro Editions. The cover measures 140×195 mm with inner pages measuring 110×155 mm. It has 60 pages and was printed by Offsetdruckerei Karl Grammlich GmbH.
