Propositions is a public forum that explores ideas in development. Inspired by the scientific method of hypothesis, research, and synthesis, each two-day seminar explores a topic of current investigation in an invited speaker’s own artistic or intellectual practice. Over the course of a seminar session, these developing ideas are presented to the public, responded to, “researched,” and discussed to propel the ideas forward in unique ways.

The structure of Propositions is as follows:
Saturday, 4:00 PM – Initial proposition and lecture
Sunday, 12:00 PM – Guest speaker responds, followed by a lunch break
Sunday, 3:00 PM – Discussion
