Like unfinished thoughts, unconventional presentations and the "act of
letting the mind wander"? Well, bookmark the first Sunday of each month,
and we'll see you down at the Poetic Research Bureau on Chung King Road
in Chinatown.
@SEA (think “at sea”) is a new monthly series, to be convened Sunday early afternoons, under the aegis of the PRB. With @SEA we look to move beyond single-channel readings of texts toward interdisciplinary programs that bring various artistic and intellectual practices into adjacency and conversation. A typical afternoon may include a combination of video or film projection, poetry readings, performance, and unconventional lectures.
Additionally, each @SEA program will cluster around a one-word theme that serves as a loose anchor to gather attentions back to a common point of departure. These themes will sometimes be repeated across programs, and sometimes not, and will serve as much as anything to spur the programmers to find interesting combinations of topics, artists, thinkers and makers.
@SEA will be programmed by Rebecca Baron, Andrew Maxwell and Daniel Tiffany. The first afternoon event will be October 4th at 1pm, and the inaugural theme is: INCOMPLETION.
