Translation Zone(s):\u00a0Prekladov\u00e1 Z\u00f3na<\/span><\/h3>\n

by Heather Connelly and Karina Cabanikova<\/p>\n

Translation Zone(s):<\/em><\/strong> Prekladov\u00e1 Z\u00f3na<\/em><\/strong> is an adaptation of the game of Bingo, a game that is not common in Slovakia. The work was produced as a prelude to Frank Heather’s Global Voices concert, to engage and immerse the audience in the activity of interpretation. Karina, a Slovakian born artist and curator called out words in her native tongue whilst teams\u00a0attempted to\u00a0translate the words on the stamps and board to find its English Equivalent.\u00a0The team with\u00a0the most correct answers were deemed the\u00a0winner and presented with a homemade Slovakian delicacy.<\/p>\n

Translation Zone(s):<\/em><\/strong> Prekladov\u00e1 Z\u00f3na<\/em><\/strong> is a collaborative work by \u00a0artist\/researcher Heather Connelly and artist\/curator Karina Cabanikova and has been designed to immerse and engage people in process of translation and explore the condition of Linguistic Hospitality. Philosopher Paul Ricoeur (2008:10), described Linguistic Hospitality as \u2018where the pleasure of dwelling in the other\u2019s language is balanced by the pleasure of receiving the foreign word at home, in one\u2019s welcoming house\u2019. With this in mind the game requires you to decode, process, map and translate unfamiliar sounds of a minor language (Slovak) into a shared, major language (English). You are invited to listen closely, to the texture of the words, to tune into the unfamiliar and inhabit the role of host and guest simultaneously. You need to beware of \u2018false friends\u2019 \u2013 those words that sound familiar but are used in an entirely different way.<\/p>\n
