Künstlergespräch mit Rory Pilgrim

In the organizer's words:

In a world increasingly shaped by technology, polarization and nationalism, how can we create spaces of solidarity and care? Rory Pilgrim's work Software Garden can be seen in the exhibition Spielräume. It consists of a music album and accompanying videos embedded in an expansive installation. Software Garden was created in close collaboration with poet and disability activist Carol Rosemary Kallend, choreographer Cassie-Augusta Jørgensen, singers Robyn Haddon and Daisy Rodrigues, a British choir and other performers. They explore how people encounter each other in virtual life and the physical world and how political realities are inscribed in bodies. In conversation with Julia Eckert, co-curator of the exhibition, Pilgrim gives an insight into his working methods and the creation of Software Garden.

Rory Pilgrim (*1988, Bristol) works across media with songwriting, music composition, film, text, drawing and live performance. Inspired by activist, feminist and socially engaged art practices, he develops his work collaboratively, processually and dialogically. In his work, Pilgrim asks how we can come together, speak, listen and enable social change through the exchange and expression of personal experiences.
