Molly Springfield: The Mundaneum and Beyond at 177 Livingston in downtown Brooklyn. Springfield, an artist and Triple Canopy contributor, discusses Paul Otlet's Mundaneum and her own work: text-based drawings and installations that reveal visionary moments in the history of how we experience, organize, and reproduce information.
Brooklyn, NY - April 25, 2010, 8:00 pm
Molly will be participating as a respondent in Bartleby: A Rereading at Triple Canopy's 177 Livingston. RSVP and more info here.
"New York–based theater collective Group Theory probes the psychosonic landscapes of Melville's classic novella Bartleby, the Scrivener in an intimate chamber ritual that transforms the private act of reading into a communal encounter. A strange literary-theatrical hybrid, this Bartleby is a performed palimpsest of rereadings, a hyper-lucid window onto a famously difficult text in all its haunting ambiguity and violent comedy. Followed by drinks and conversation with invited respondents: In an age of textual overload, can rereading be our gently radical 'I would prefer not to'?" Participants include Paul Chan, Edwin Frank, Lynne Tillman, Abha Dawesar, John Bryant, Vivian Gornick, Alice Boone, Graham Parker, Molly Springfield, McKenzie Wark, and Greg Wayne.
