infinte bet

infinite bet gathers a range of written pieces that form a rich body of work, including interviews, play formats, poems, and the work of other artists. Liv Schulman creates experimental forms of speech, only to turn them on their head. In so doing, the writings selected here offer various challenges to the notions of creative freedom that they embody, as well as the political ideas they express. In short, this cross-section of written situations and speech acts amounts to a comical and contrarian collective look at the often nonsensical economies of desire that we all bet on.

infinite bet features texts by Schulman herself, an interview with the French stand-up comedian Bettina Atala; drawings and text contributions by Hugo Hopping; a review by Sophie Lapalu; and publishes for the first time the English version of the script for the video piece L’Obstruction, which was shown at SixtyEight Art Institute in October 2017, in collaboration with Triangle France in Marseille.
