An introductory essay on Assemblism that relies strongly on Judith Butler’s work. It was quite an enjoyable read and as someone who has never been in contact with the concept of Performative Assembly, it was very straightforward and educating. The morphology of assemblism is perhaps what I found most interesting as it relates directly to my field of study, that of space, form, and context.
