Thinking the Present
Part 1: Cutting into the Present
“Remastering the Early Avant-Garde”

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009, 8:00–10:00 PM

INVITED DISCUSSANTS
Participants include Zach Rockhill (video and performance artist based in NYC) and Geoff Sobelle (actor and artistic director based in Philadelphia).

The event will include an introduction of the theme “Remastering the Early Avant-Garde” by Alexi Kukuljevic and Gabriel Rockhill followed by presentations of work by Zach Rockhill and Geoff Sobelle.

Rather than presenting lectures, the invited discussants will participate in dynamic, public discussions concerning the relevancy of their work to the theme of the workshop.
