Workshop by the Ràdio Web MACBA Working Group with txe roimeser
abrazar con las piernas seeks to comprehend a lapse in time involved with the preoperative, operative and postoperative period of surgery, during which the artist has undergone top trans* surgery.
During this time, the workshop that txe roimeser typically inhabits (inhabited) at Hangar has been adapted so that they can physically prepare for the operation and spend a month of postop combining the experience with their research. Txe is aiming to understand other time frames that are not governed by production: the time it takes for seeds to grow, the time it takes for scars to heal, the time it takes to recover the movements of one’s arms, the time needed for karate; the artist seeks to take time to be able to follow a less frenetic pace. The mastectomy involves a period of time during which everything ordinary becomes altered by a surgical process, which in turn can be embraced when a circle of friends remains by their side and provides care.
