Study Room in Exile is Live Art Development Agency’s satellite study room housed in the Institute for the Art and Practice of Dissent at Home in Liverpool.
The launch of the Study Room in Exile took place on Wednesday 30th September 2015 at 6pm at the Institute for the Art and Practice of Dissent at Home.
In the lead up to the launch, Gary and Lena created a performative paper called ‘Study.Room.In.Exile.’. This was written collaboratively during their 7 day separation. Lena wrote from the domestic sphere where she digested 7 titles from LADA publications (all of which were donated to the Institute by LADA), whilst Gary wrote from Athens where he attended ‘Institutions, Politics, Performance’ conference. Gary was concerned with Exile and Lena with Study.
