On 5/15, Carlos Kong + I hosted a talk for @CuratorsINTL + @MGplusMSUM with #ZdenkaBadovinac, a writer+ curator we’d been closely reading for a year. A screening of it, in which Zdenka discusses comradeship, curating, and destruction, airs tomorrow: https://t.co/rVaRB29lkp
Just Announced: With support from artist Arthur Jafa, we’ve organized a free online screening of his “Love is the Message, The Message is Death” for 48 hours with @americanart beginning at 2pm EDT on June 26. https://t.co/WWVeDFLQok #DeathIsLoveIs
“They will not yield; they will not be moved. In this other variant, the question is no less pressing: How is love possible for those dispossessed of the future and living under the threat of death? Is love a synonym for abolition?” - Saidiya Hartman https://t.co/dTH5VsZmS1
Out in the world: An essay | poem pair I wrote for @beelergallery that’s ostensibly about the artist Les Levine, immortality, and me. You’ll find it in the gorgeous glossy print pages of Fairy Tale, a magazine designed by @vier5paris, and right here :^>
Come 2/18 to the last @CuratorsINTL Comradeship meeting, co-led by Carlos Kong + me. We’ll see the archival exhibit “Brotherhood of New Blockheads,” discuss Badovinac’s essay “My Post-Catastrophic Glossary,” & reflect on a year ! of post-socialist art reading. 7pm @mishkingallery
Some lines to love:
I, conditional, want you to stop my mouth; will you stop.
Discipline of desire begins in the mouth.
I, ritual, am going to die; I will be directionless
I, dictionary, am going to die; I will be testudineous

🎄🎥:
Y: Want to see Little Women?
Dad: That’s boring, like Pride & Prejudice. I want to watch something more realistic, like War & Peace! What else?
Y: We could see Cats
D: What’s that about?
Y: Cats. But really, redemption
D: So, animals. Little Women sounds good
Two lively forces, Jovana Stokic + Carlos Kong, are co-leading next Tues’ Comradeship discussion on absence (of utopia, of consistent socialism in social practice in the former Yugoslavia) and Neue Slowenische Kunst. DM for a PDF.
Join us for our last Comradeship Reading Group of 2019, next Tuesday, December 17. 🎉
