Lecture | The (Extremely Social, Very Pluralistic) Engagement Account of Aesthetic Value
Here are some data-points about aesthetic life. First, we often avoid simply accepting aesthetic judgments based on the testimony of experts. Second, we often avoid using scientific methods — evidence-gathering, categorization, generalization, and inference to come to conclusions. Instead, we tend to arrive at our judgments through personal encounters with specific objects. Some have tried to explain these data-points as the results of the metaphysics of aesthetic properties, or aesthetic perception. This talk claims that they are best understood as social norms: norms that tell us to avoid testimony and avoid scientific inference. With: C. Thi Nguyen, University of Utah.

Talk | A Talk on Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Screening | 2 Films on 80s Underground Rock Bands
The premiere of two films by Merrill Aldighieri. SHOX LUMANIA MANIA (run time: 1 hour 9 minutes) This feature includes four interviews with the band Shöx Lumania and a full concert from 1980. An underground favorite of Klaus Nomi, the band was known for changing costumes between every song. It was also electronic-hip-hop pioneer Man Parrish’s first band, and he restored the film’s soundtrack. Filmmaker Merrill Aldighieri collaborated with the band on several experimental films, excerpts of which enhance the visuals. Shöx Lumania was truly a unicorn of the new wave. NEW ORDER ILLUSTRE (run time: 33 minutes) On September 26, 1980, the band New Order made its New York City debut. This director’s cut of their historic full concert features commentary by bassist Peter Hook. It marks the first recording of the band as they struggled to find their voice following lead singer Ian Curtis’ untimely death. Like an illuminated tome, Aldighieri embellishes her original concert video with experimental graphics, animations, and explorations of painter L.S. Lowry’s work. Lowry, who passed away just a few years before Curtis, created art inspired by the same industrial region of England. New Order’s music brought a new soundscape to the region, much as Lowry baptized its landscapes in art.

Book Discussion | Gong Co.: Chronicle of a Family-Owned Store in Mississippi
Christian Patterson’s book is a monumental memento mori to the decline and decay of a family-owned grocery store in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, from which the book takes its name. When Patterson first encountered the store in 2003, it was still open for business but seemingly stuck in time, its shelves scattered with long-expired products. Over the next twenty years, Patterson diligently documented the store's slow disintegration. In 2013, its doors were closed, with its contents left inside. Patterson continued to access the store until the day it was gutted in late 2019.
