"Alexandre Singh: 3 Lectures + 1 Story = 4 Evenings," Performance Series
White Columns
This event has ended.
For four consecutive evenings, White Columns, in association with PERFORMA 09, will host a series of narrative performances by Alexandre Singh. Taking the mantle from Homer, Singh will be relating from memory The Alkahest, a series of interwoven tales featuring golems, monks, parrots, 20th century abstract painters and the creation of the world. In addition he will be giving three lectures entitled the Assembly Instructions; a series of rhapsodic academic discourses in which two overhead projectors display a variety of images collaged by Singh, forming the backbone of a meandering discussion that ranges from Ikea to Giordano Bruno and from Snow White to Oranges.
8pm - Monday November 9th: The Alkahest
8pm - Tuesday November 10th: Assembly Instructions Lecture [Tangential Logick, Tangential Magick]
8pm - Wednesday November 11th: Assembly Instructions Lecture [Ikea, Manzoni, Klein et al.]
