SODA WORKS 2018
The SODA (Solo/Dance/Authorship) class of 2018 have compiled this publication to contain selected content from their individual thesis projects. These projects each consisted of a live performance - presented in December 2017, at the Uferstudios in Berlin - an artist work book, as a document of the creative process and a written essay, each explicating areas of independent research. It is the aim of this publication to present a selection of this material for public dissemination. The publication can be read in two directions: vertically as well as horizontally. You can choose from which perspective you would like to start. You can read the book from the beginning till the end and after that start again, this time reading from a different angle, or you can simply make fast changes, jumping from horizontal to vertical, from vertical to horizontal. It is just a matter of adjusting the object to your choices. The amount of changes is limitless.

This process is still not clearly understood by science and is definitely not taken into consideration by the art market. The<br />
self-revolving way artists write their artistic biographies, insisting on naming themselves in applications, and institutions<br />
and funding bodies also demanding these identifications from the artists, shows just how far from reality art exists. We (as<br />
humans) contain a multitude, we are a multitude, we are not unique and thus, our artworks are not unique. Why produce<br />
ideas if there are so many in the world?! Why not share resources?! Stealing, reformulating and translating are artistic strategies<br />
that create conditions in the body in which microbes can thrive.<br />
The biggest question now is, if we embrace this perspective, can this process be shaped into form? [….]<br />

Agata Siniarska makes works within formats of performances, events, practices, lectures, videos, TV programme and others. She is interested in knowledge,<br />
that explores various mediums, protocols, strategies of its own production and does not apply any hierarchy to itself. These are all the detours,<br />
twists, turns through knowing and confusion: from aliens, imaginative blobs, sweat, scientific facts, air particles, discourses, affects, personal dramas,<br />
gossips, zeros, thoughts, inner speeds, transplants, women – all knowledge that seeks not to explain but to involve. Agata is a founding member of<br />
female trouble - a collective revolving around identity, body, feminisms, pleasure, affirmation and love, as well as a co-founder of Pinpoint TV, an artistic<br />
research project in the format of an internet TV programme, set within intersecting art-scenes of Berlin. Her project during her <strong>SODA</strong> studies was a<br />
research around dance and performance as a soft act of killing.
