Join us in celebrating the much-anticipated book launch of I Stand in My Place with My Own Day Here: Site-Specific Art at The New School with book readings and performances at three campus installation sites: the José Clemente Orozco, Kara Walker, and Agnes Denes murals. Guided through the spaces by artist and poet Carl Hancock Rux, the event will feature a performance by award-winning choreographer Edisa Weeks; a commissioned composition by jazz musician and New School professor Dave Douglas, workshopped and performed with his College of Performing Arts students; and readings by book contributors including writer-art critic Aruna D’Souza, artist and New School faculty member Andrea Geyer, cultural historian and New School professor Julia Foulkes, and fashion hacktivist and Parsons School of Design professor Otto von Busch. A reception will follow in the University Center, the location of Agnes Denes’ sweeping 2016 installation titled Pascal’s Perfect Probability Pyramid & the People Paradox—The Predicament (PPPPPPP).
