From March 4th to the 7th, Red Door becomes a site for attentive presence, embodied listening, and intimate exchange. Poetic Consultations: Rituals of Listening unfolds as a durational artistic research project by Madam Neverstop, examining listening as a relational, ethical, and sensorial practice. Visitors are invited to slow down, move gently through the space, or lie down and listen, entering an environment shaped by poetry, sound, and care.At the core of the project are one-on-one poetic consultations with Madam Neverstop, awardwinning author and certified listener-poet. These private encounters are grounded in active listening and confidentiality. Each consultation results in a typewritten poem composed as a direct response to the exchange. One copy is offered to the participant as a personal art object; the other enters the exhibition anonymously, contributing to a growing constellation of voices exploring desire, memory, intimacy, and collective empathy.
RITUALS OF LISTENING:
Throughout each day, a curated group of international experimental musicians activate the space
through four live listening sessions. These performances are conceived not as concerts but as rituals of listening—moments where audiences are invited to lie down, close their eyes, and experience sound as a shared, embodied practice. Music unfolds alongside periods of silence and evolving soundscapes, emphasizing attention, duration, and receptivity.
Sound functions here as an environment rather than a backdrop, shaping the conditions for reflection and presence. The musicians’ interventions intersect with the consultations and the exhibition, reinforcing listening as a collective act of care and attunement.
Over these days, the exhibition evolves continuously through each consultation, performance, and moment of shared stillness. Rather than presenting finished works, the project foregrounds process, vulnerability, and relational exchange.
Poetic Consultations: Rituals of Listening
operates as a laboratory for artistic research, asking how deep listening—personal and
collective—can become a form of resistance, intimacy, and repair.
