On Wednesday 16 January at 7.30pm, If I Can’t Dance presents a film programme curated and introduced by Jacob Korczynski at the Dutch Art Institute in Arnhem. Admission is free. Jacob has composed the following programme:

separation
penetrates

One is inside
then outside what one has been inside
One feels empty
Because there is nothing inside oneself
One tries to get inside oneself
that inside of the outside
that one was once inside
once one tries to get oneself inside what
one is outside:
to eat and to be eaten
to have the outside inside and to be
inside the outside

-from Knots (1970) by R.D. Laing

The classroom, the cinema. Two rooms, not completely unalike. In each we enter an encounter with a group and negotiate our autonomy in a collective space. These films and videos by Maia Cybelle Carpenter, David Lamelas, Hazel Meyer, Robert Morris, Andrew James Paterson, and Emily Wardill will come together to fall apart.
