[Nettime-bold] RADICAL TIME 2002 Symposium |
RADICAL TIME 2002: One-Day Symposium Saturday, January 19, 2002 Presentations: 10 am to 10 pm UCLA Graduate Art Studios 8535 Warner Avenue, Culver City Press Information: Sharon Hayes: 323.962.7455 January 8, 2002, FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Radical Time is a one-day symposium to be held in Los Angeles on January 19th, 2002. This 12-hour event is independently organized by six artists, in affiliation with the Art Department at the University of California, Los Angeles. Radical Time brings together artists, writers, activists, theorists, and other cultural producers to investigate overlapping discourses of temporality and radicality. The title Radical Time is a provocation, a starting point, and an invitation, for presenters and audience alike. Examinations include, but are certainly not limited to, the present as a historical and political moment, time as a critical medium, the functions of historiography, nostalgia, allegory and memory, and desires for cultural and political transformation. From the urgent need to examine the critical juncture of radicality and temporality, Radical Time seeks to support wide-ranging but focused discussions which will address what Claude Levi-Strauss calls our "past legacies and future tendencies." Beginning at 10 am, the 12-hour symposium consists of twenty 20-minute presentations. The day will be organized around five sets of four presentations, each of which will be followed by ample time for response and discussion. The all-day marathon environment allows for the dialogue to extend through disparate presentations and for discussions to spill into social gathering. Speakers include: Jayce Salloum, Warren Sack, Kara Lynch, Laurent Dubois, Åsa Nacking, Sharon Hayes, Simon Leung, Morgan Fisher, Sara Jordenö, Jonathan Berger,Rita Gonzalez, Trebor Scholz, Cletus Dalglish-Schommer, The Speculative Archive for Historical Clarification, Ashley Hunt, Anne Bray, John Knight, Amy Pederson, and Joe Sola. For further information please contact Sharon Hayes (phone & fax) 323.962.7455. _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://amsterdam.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
