The Nonsite Collective's "Translation As Social and Aesthetic Practice" curriculum continues at SF Camerawork with: Amy Trachtenberg and Elliot Anderson Thurs, July 10 at 6 pm Amy Trachtenberg “In considering a place we look at passages of time, development and decay. As an outsider to any locale, we find ourselves in states of translation: both the navigator and the one in need of guiding. The physical and cultural realms are layered by an accrual of rites and texture to be misconstrued by the interloper. Without mutual consent, but as a means of interpretation, I use the camera like a tongue in search of speech. The projected slides in rhythmic sequences are a case study in questioning.” Elliot Anderson | ||

SF Bay Area: Come out for a potluck dinner followed by a talk and discussion facilitated by Thom Donovan. Wednesday, July 23 Thom’s talk will pertain to the recent discussion on the website around disability and poetics, while considering work by Brenda Iijima and Robert Kocik. “How might an art of ‘disability’ potentialize the body under threat of harm, erasure and (mis)representation? I believe this question addresses relations between poetics, performance, movement study, architecture/design. How might the poem itself be a site for recomposing (or ‘remembering’) the body thru ‘disability’ — a term which implies for me not the opposite of capability or ability, but its inverse counterpart? How also can language sites, like poems, offer tools for disability, just as disablement reveals sites of potential conceived as virtual power, or powers yet-to-be. And how, through, disablement, may we gain keener insights into what a ‘body can do’ as a means of ‘overcoming fitness’ (Kocik)?”— Thom Donovan | ||

If you're in the Bay Area, come out for a discussion following-up on questions posed by Amy Trachtenberg's and Elliot Anderson's recent presentations at SF Camerawork [see: http://nonsitecollective.org/node/435] Sunday, August 3 Amy Trachtenberg asks: "How do we as writers and visual artists find modalities of translation when experiencing place from the position of 'the other' or interloper?" No need to have been present at that event to participate in this. Elliot and Amy have forwarded the attached texts for reference. These include the texts of both Amy's and Elliot's talks, and excerpts on the work of Robert Irwin. | ||
