Seminar: "The Imposter" with Vanessa Place
Vanessa Place, Jameison Webster, ISSUE Project Room, and David Lewis Gallery invite you to a seminar on "The Imposter," featuring Katy Bohinc, David Levine, and Jean-Michel Rabaté.
Vanessa Place and Jameison Webster will act as interlocutors, and Cassie Seltman as moderator.
The seminar begins with the participants giving a brief description of their work around the topic, followed by a conversation between participants and audience. The theme is a prompt, the seminar a discursive experiment. All present are encouraged to consider the event exploratory, as in surgery.
This event is the second of the series "In Authenticity," a series of seminars concerning variations on its themes. Future seminars will consider The Echo, The Speaker, The Dummy, and the Ventriloquist.
Seating is very limited, and a reservation deposit ($10) is required to secure a seat.
