From January to April 2018, Femke curates the research centre at a.pass, a programme for advanced performance and scenography studies in Brussels. As part of this, she proposes five Monday Readings that bring habitual tool-situations apparent in a.pass in conversation with theoretical and political thinking. They are intimate collective situations on the articulation of technique and the performance of boundaries. The Mondays attempt to develop further connections between artistic research and techno-political practices such as software-as-a-critique, active archives and techno-galactic software observation.
