Florian Meisenberg's 'Future Readings' is a performative workshop that reimagines the Turkish coffee-reading ritual as a public, collective act of interpretation. Using an endoscopic camera, the process is filmed and projected live, transforming private exchange into a shared experience.
Florian Meisenberg, a Berlin-born artist based in New York, presents 'Future Readings,' a unique event that reframes the intimate practice of reading coffee grounds. This performative workshop, rooted in Turkish traditions, becomes a shared public experience where the interior of a coffee cup is filmed with a miniature endoscopic camera and projected live. The ritual shifts from a one-on-one exchange to a communal act of looking and interpretation, amplified by narration, projection, and collective attention. The sediment patterns within the cup are analyzed in real-time, turning the mundane into a landscape of emerging meaning. 'Future Readings' is part of the 'Tolia Curriculum,' a project conceived by Georgian artist Tolia Astakhishvili. This initiative unfolds as a daily schedule of workshops, lectures, screenings, readings, and participatory formats for all ages, accompanying Astakhishvili's development of her major exhibition 'Figure of the Child.' The project aims to open the artist's production and installation process to the public as her work takes shape in situ.
The event 'Florian Meisenberg, Future Readings' has a scheduled duration and is part of the 'Tolia Curriculum' project. Ticketing information for mumok events is available via the website, with options for standard, reduced, and annual passes. Specific details for this event are not listed beyond the scheduled time; visitors are directed to the general ticketing and program information pages for further guidance.
