Carment Winant
Object/Non-object
September 4th, 2015, 7:30 PM
On Friday, September 4th COR&P presents a short evening of performative lectures organized by Carmen Winant. Along with Winant, Art Historian Danny Marcus and filmmaker Vera Brunner-Sung will each present on an unresolved and ongoing strain of their creative research. In addition to making visible an often unseen part of their practice, each lecturer will attempt to enact, rather than simply describe, their inquiry, making self conscious reference to the theatrical space of lecture. All presentations will consider the theme of object/non-object, in line with a year of related programming at COR&P.
This event is a collaboration with MOCA Cleveland. Carmen Winant is featured in the exhibition How to Remain Human, on view through September 5th.
