Oh! That’s Cute!: an explorative essay on cuteness w/ Kari Rosenfeld

For this e-log entry I invited artist Kari Rosenfeld to spend a cozy day together talking about cuteness. We dressed in a way that made us feel cute and wondered around thinking on ways to perform and inhabit cuteness in our alien cities (Rotterdam - Berlin). In the voice-notes shared during this day we recall former ideas and develop new ones together.

The first metaphor was “animal”
workshop at Field of Study

Two domesticated horses will be living among us these few days. During our stay in the residency we will probably try to find their gaze, as an erotic gesture that anticipates the touch of our hand brushing their fur, a dream of a seamless connection, perhaps... or, an entanglement of fears. Looking at animals comes with a complexity of desires and anxieties. We will certainly be affected by the few moments of recognition, as their gaze traps ours. Those moments can feel like a treat after grieving an unspoken language or, like a magnifying lens over the mesmerizing gap that allow us to be shadow of each other.
