Rolling the Dice: The Art of Chance
February 03 2012, 10:00 am–February 04 2012, 11:30 am
The Franke Institute for the Humanities
Rolling the Dice continues our Arts of Non-Sovereignty series discussion of being out of control. Also conceived as an experimental event, it approaches the experience of out-of-controledness via the concepts of randomization and chance in both their positive and negative valences (positive, as in something to embrace, negative, as in the absence of any other decent approach).
Artists/writers in this two-day conference and workshop will include Debbora Battaglia (Mount Holyoke), Lauren Berlant (Chicago) Yvette Christiansë (Barnard), and Renata Salecl (LSE), and Micah Philbrook (pH Productions)
Rolling the Dice is curated by Bernard Harcourt (Chicago) and Susan Lepselter (Indiana).
