WAITING FOR BETTER TIMES
by Ryan Rivadeneyra
Waiting for Better Times is a presentation that will combine elements of performance with the new tradition of the Powerpoint lecture. Citing historical references, fictions, dreams, and elements of global popular culture, the artist will attempt to give a complete description of the city of Antwerp without having visited the city.
THOUSAND WORDS (x4)
by Chris Clarke
This work uses the format of the art-historical lecture as a means of investigating notions of non-visibility and post-dematerialisation in the practices of four artists and filmmakers. Taking place in front of a blank screen, with a projection of white light serving to 'illustrate' the non-visibility of the works under discussion, the lecture will consider individual pieces by Guy Debord, Sean Snyder, James Coleman and Victor Burgin. Each artist will be discussed in 1000 words (as in the cliched term of 'a picture being worth a thousand words).
