Conference | Theaster Gates: A Way of Working
In tribute to artist Theaster Gates, a two-day conference on the artist’s prize-winning work, The Dorchester Projects. An artwork of extraordinary complexity and impact, and selected from an international pool of twenty nominated projects, Dorchester Projects expands the discourse of political enfranchisement and social inclusion. Gates began Dorchester Projects in 2006 by transforming two buildings on Chicago's South Side into community gathering spaces, with a library, slide archive, performance space, and soul food kitchen. The ongoing project advances social justice through art, spirituality, history, economics, and materiality, and in so doing has charted groundbreaking ways for urban renewal.

Performance | The Nerve Tank presents Glory Road, the Woeful Myth of Sisyphus
The Nerve Tank, a world-class theater innovator, brings the woeful myth of Sisyphus to life. Sisyphus, a daring and clever king who outwitted the gods on many occasions, is sentenced by Zeus to the absurd and eternal fate of pushing a boulder uphill only to have it roll back down.
The Nerve Tank’s interactive encounter with this story features a 6 1/2-foot metal sphere pushed along the Plaza, overseen by a dancing Persephone, Queen of the Underworld. Sisyphus’ labor is to play the “boulder” in narrative order, which is filled with technology that triggers audio and video fragments as it moves. The task is impossible, yet he's forced to keep going – and through his punishment he celebrates his stubborn pride.
Times: 12-1:30pm & 4-6pm (20-minute performances on loop)

Silvestre Pantaleón lives in a Nahuatl-speaking village in the Mexican state of Guerrero. He is one of the last to hand-craft sisal rope in the traditional way, starting with harvesting the fibers from wild agave plants. Seeking relief from chronic pain, he visits a card reader and is told to make offerings to the dead, the hearth, the ants and the river. Working with his family, he fashions a rope that will raise the funds for the ceremony to “lift the shadow” from him.

Slide Lecture | Alexandra Horowitz discusses her book On Looking: Eleven Walks with Expert Eyes
The author of Inside a Dog switches her focus to the human mind. People assume they are completely aware of their surroundings, but they are awash in inattention, tuning out about 80% of sensory activities. Each person has a different experience, leading her to take walks with different people to see the world in a new way, making a familiar landscape new and novel.
This visual presentation shows how richly textured an ordinary experience truly is—and how many of these sensory details we miss. At any given moment we filter out the bulk of the information streaming around us; this lecture offers ways to tune into the myriad sights, sounds, and smells.

Talk | Artists Talk: Joshua and Zakary Sandler
Joshua and Zakary Sandler are New York-based artists who come from distinct creative backgrounds. Joshua studied photography and video, and his brother Zak trained in experimental theater and modern performance. As teenagers, they began collaborating on photography projects. Their early works documented the fantasy, inhibition, and intimacy shared between family and close friends.
As adults, Josh and Zak make videos that examine the line drawn between adolescent and adult behavior, and the dysfunction that often ensues when adults try to hold on to feelings of idealistic hope and youthful indiscretion. They aim to capture a general state of alienation, and the protective worlds people create in the midst of oppressive or tumultuous circumstances. Their work has been described as “dysfunctional family theatre”.

Conference | Re-Thinking Literature
Re-Thinking Literature brings together philosophers, writers, critics and theoreticians of literature and art, to examine what, in the 21st Century, is understood when we speak about “literature.” We still ask familiar questions such as “What is the situation of the writer today? What does literature mean today?” but ask them today undetermined by preexisting “isms,” past the dogmas of recent years, post-Post, as it were. Re-Thinking Literature seeks new, multiple perspectives for the meaning and significance of the cultural construct “literature” today—and examines how a younger generation of literary thinkers and practitioners deals with it.

Concert | Acardenchados, a Traditional Mexican Vocal Ensemble
Acardenchados take their name from the Mexican Cardenche style of popular music, which is created through the spontaneous interpretation of three or four voices. This improvisational yet traditional vocal ensemble joins together in exploring creative boundaries of singing in the Cardenche and Pirekua-- the syncretism of religious music chants from the Spanish evangelizers and with Indian Mexican music-- ways.
Joining Tareke Ortiz, Leo Soqui, and Juan Manuel Torreblanca, welcome back Juan Pablo Villa, one of the most respected exponents of improvisation music in Mexico. Acardenchados exposes us to extended vocal techniques in the most fascinating and energizing ways.

Film | Documentary: Sven Zellner's Price of Gold (2012)
This astounding film is the first to document the illegal gold-diggers in Mongolia's Gobi Desert risking their lives for a few grams of the precious mineral. While the speculative market value of gold in the Western world holds little relation to any tangible yardstick, the film describes in very direct and stark images what it means to prospect for gold by hand, in brutal conditions eerily reminiscent of the California Gold Rush during the late 19th-century.
