Performance Fictions book launch
About 2 years ago I presented an introduction to Uncertain Eastside as part of Dr Sadie Plant’s contribution to the Performance Fictions event.
There’s a book launch tomorrow in London:
Invite for book-launch and talk
Book-launch and talk to mark the publication of five volumes from the art-writing-research series by Article Press.
Talk by John Cussans entitled ‘Télémaque in Marmalade’ – an illustrated lecture touching upon paranoid critical theory.
X Marks the Bökship, Unit 3, 210 Cambridge Heath Road, London E2 9NQ
Saturday 3rd December 2011, 6 – 8 pm, talk at 6.45 pm.
The five volumes address the relationship of art, performance, art writing and knowledge, as well as exploring art as counter-knowledge or a means to counter knowledge.
The volumes contain essays, art works, illustrations, documentation of performances and diagrams.
