Start: 10:19 am

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
3 pm
at the home of Elliot Anderson
for location, please contact Elliot at:
ewanders[AT]ucsc[dot]edu

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.

Poets Neil Marcus and Petra Kuppers read from their new book. Cripple
Poetics: A Love Story (Homofactus Press, 2008) follows the movement of
Bay Area poet and activist Neil Marcus and his partner Petra's
courtship through traditional poems, emails, essayistic meditations
and Internet Relay Chat. Through variations in form, these pieces ask
us to think of our conceptions of mobility, immobility, physical pain,
as well as means of travel, touch, and communication. As a part of the
Disability Culture movement, the collection shows both non-disabled
and disabled people how rich the poets' lives are, not in spite of
their disabilities, but with and through them.
