meanwhile...

Saturday, January 29, 5pm

Foxy Production, 623 West 27th St

Ad Hoc Vox and Foxy Production are pleased to invite you to meanwhile... A panel discussion on time in narrative.

Narrative is fundamentally concerned with sequence and this is as true of nonlinear narratives as it is of plot lines structured around clearly identifiable beginnings, middles, and ends. In this way, broadly conceived, time is the subject of all narratives. Consequently, how duration is represented in narrative has long been a subject of aesthetic study, just as the nature of time itself has long been a subject of philosophic and scientific inquiry. meanwhile... will look to how duration is represented and its effect on how time is experienced as a means of understanding time. We will focus on narrative forms that have historically been bound up with questions of how time is represented and manipulated, such as literature, theater, and film.

meanwhile... will elaborate on a conversation that began in an April 2010 panel held at Galerie Zurcher that investigated varied and at times contradictory definitions of time generated in the sciences and humanities. Its participants - Royal S. Brown, Mary Ann Caws, Sam Ishii-Gonzales, Jennifer Reeves, and Rebecca Schneider - are practitioners and theorists of note in the fields under discussion. The panel will be moderated by Colleen Asper and followed by a Q&A with the audience.

Chus Martinez: Jan 28+29

The Institut Ramon Llull, in collaboration with the New Museum, cordially invites you to:

A Proposition by Chus Martinez: aren't we living in a world where headless men only desire decapitated women?

Friday, January 28, 7 p.m., and

Special guest Albert Serra:

Saturday, January 29, 2 p.m.

New Museum Theater, 235 Bowery

Free to Members, $8 General Public

Chus Martinez’s Proposition explores the notion of nonsense, or the wisdom of uncertainty. Nonsense is reflects the need to produce osmosis between knowledges of very different natures. It aims towards the generation of communicative forms of meaning as the key to future discoveries. The filmmaker Albert Serra (Crespia, the Film not the Village; Honour of the Knights; Bird Song) will join Martinez on January 29 at 2:00pm to investigate these ideas further.
