January 8, 2002, FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Radical Time is a one-day symposium to be held in Los Angeles on January
19th, 2002. This 12-hour event is independently organized by six artists,
in affiliation with the Art Department at the University of California, Los
Angeles.
Radical Time brings together artists, writers, activists, theorists, and
other cultural producers to investigate overlapping discourses of
temporality and radicality. The title Radical Time is a provocation, a
starting point, and an invitation, for presenters and audience alike.
Examinations include, but are certainly not limited to, the present as a
historical and political moment, time as a critical medium, the functions
of historiography, nostalgia, allegory and memory, and desires for cultural
and political transformation. From the urgent need to examine the critical
juncture of radicality and temporality, Radical Time seeks to support
wide-ranging but focused discussions which will address what Claude
Levi-Strauss calls our "past legacies and future tendencies."
Beginning at 10 am, the 12-hour symposium consists of twenty 20-minute
presentations. The day will be organized around five sets of four
presentations, each of which will be followed by ample time for response
and discussion. The all-day marathon environment allows for the dialogue to
extend through disparate presentations and for discussions to spill into
social gathering.
Speakers include: Jayce Salloum, Warren Sack, Kara Lynch, Laurent Dubois, Åsa
Nacking,
Sharon Hayes, Simon Leung, Morgan Fisher, Sara Jordenö, Jonathan Berger,Rita
Gonzalez, Trebor Scholz, Cletus Dalglish-Schommer, The Speculative Archive
for Historical Clarification, Ashley Hunt, Anne Bray, John Knight, Amy
Pederson, and Joe Sola.
