Everyday Speech at A Grass Mound (With Kind Regards To Utopia)

From Anthony Marcellini's project A Grass Mound (With Kind Regards To Utopia)

September 13: 3-5pm
THE LITTLE WORLD AND EVERYDAY SPEECH
Artist Matthew David Rana will perform a series of speeches that explore art’s relationship to theater and everyday use by looking at the tensions between the ‘little world’ of the art space as a site for experimentation and the events that take place in the ‘big world’ exterior to it. Topics range from a polemic against Utopia, to how to devise the ‘perfect schedule.’ With contributions from artists Amy Balkin, Gustav & Oscar Ekdahl, Justin Fiset and Eric Steen, this event will include commissioned speeches, selections from a film and a re-speaking of the oral argument of a case heard before the United States Supreme Court.
