Performance
RELAY, curated by Fiction Feeling Frame cofounders Adam Kaasa, Thandi Loewenson and David Burns, is a durational conversation, a ritual in circumferential publicness, a performance becoming telegraph, current, message. RELAY is a 24-hour global conversation hosted by the Biennale Architettura 2021. RELAY will chase the hour between noon and 1pm around the planet in a global act of transfer— holding time and space for one another, passing ideas on, and on, and on— moving across time zones while continually staying in the present.

In response to Biennale Architettura 2021 curator Hashim Sarkis’ framing statement ‘How will we live together?’, RELAY will gather over 50 architects, artists, activists, curators and designers around questions of building a collective voice: ‘How can we speak to one another? How can we speak together?’

From ‘Frames of Love, or Love’s Perspective’ (2018)

‘Love’s perspective might be a window into someone’s life. Or perhaps it is more like a signal that one sees and likes and recognizes what another or other put/s forward as a framed structure of their feeling of life.’
- Adam Kaasa
From ‘Feeling Bodies of Architecture: Towards an Incommensurable Pedagogy’ (2023)

‘Space, time, energy must be made for the bodies of architecture to be present in this new pedagogic performance, for feeling in both senses of the word to happen, for bodies that have moved to be moved again, by and through each other.’
- Adam Kaasa
