Coming up at the Adam Art Gallery

ADAM ART GALLERY SKYPE CONVERSATION SERIES
Talking Praxis with Martha Rosler
Saturday 26 January, 12pm
(to be held downstairs in the Kirk Gallery)

This is the inaugural event of the Adam Art Gallery Skype Conversation Series. Live from Brooklyn, New York, Martha Rosler will address her seminal work The Bowery in Two Inadequate Descriptive Systems (1974-75), discussing politics then and now, documentary practice, and activism in the digital commons over coffee, croissants, and web cameras. Geoffrey Batchen and Michelle Menzies will act as discussants.

LECTURE
Rochelle Simmons, Visual Poetries
Wednesday 30 January, 6pm

Dr Rochelle Simmons (Department of English, University of Otago) will discuss Martha Rosler’s The Bowery in Two Inadequate Descriptive Systems (1974-5) in the terms of visual poetry: as a work preoccupied with problems of incommensurability, and the ethical and poetic limits of representation. Co-sponsored by Hue and Cry journal.
Both events are free, and all are welcome.
