KCH

55 kr

KCH is a paper model of the T building at the Behavioral Department of the Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. It was produced by Martin La Roche Contreras during a 4-month artist residence at the hospital. Invited by Beautiful Distress, an organization that wants to break stigma around mental health issues, the artist lived and worked in the hospital. He initiated a weekly creative workshop with patients and therapists at PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program also known as People Help People). As part of his stay, Martin met Toshiko Kobayashi, who introduced herself as an origami therapist. Without a concrete understanding of what an origami therapy could be the artist tried to rebuild it from his imagination. The result is this small zine-publication.

Good Neighbour

Good Neighbour (GN) is a research platform based in Amsterdam since 2017, run by Dongyoung Lee, Valeria Marchesini and Martin La Roche. GN defines itself primarily as a community of readers who share a communal interest in books seen as performative tools. The name ‘Good Neighbour’ is inspired by Aby Warburg’s ‘Law of the Good Neighbour’, a continuous system of thematic and serendipitous arrangements between books in a library. GN doesn’t seek to build a library; it makes time for appreciating existing ones.
