Technologies of Impossible Repair
With Jeremy Wade
Technologies of Impossible Repair is the name Jeremy Wade gives to a fictional repertoire of practices, tools and materials made in his work as a performer, performance maker, teacher and curator working with social practice. The technologies have emerged from an intense problematizing of care and repair in the complicated now using fiction, extrapolation and trickster tactics to re-align with life on new terms, fix broken things and dream otherwise about less violent futures. Formed from the lived experiences of bad feelings, depression and exhaustion from the endless imperatives of self-management, Technologies of Impossible Repair re-situates the stories that haunt us making a plea for social, political alchemy.
