  • TRACING the INDEX: 4 DISCUSSIONS, 4 VENUES March 2Nd – March 31St, 2008
    INDEX OF THE DISAPPEARED PRESENTS TRACING THE INDEX: 4 DISCUSSIONS, 4 VENUES March 2nd – March 31st, 2008 The series: Tracing the Index is a four-part series of roundtable discussions organized by Index of the Disappeared (Chitra Ganesh + Mariam Ghani), hosted and co-sponsored by the Bronx Museum of the Arts, NYU’s Kevorkian Institute, the New School’s Vera List Center for Art + Politics, and Art in General. The series brings together artists, activists and scholars to discuss ideas and areas of inquiry central to their work and to our collaborative project. All roundtables in the series will be recorded and made freely available online. We will also transcribe, edit and eventually publish the discussions, both online and in a forthcoming Index print publication. The roundtables: Collaboration + Feminism, Bronx Museum of the Arts, 3/2 at 3 pm Impossible Archives, Kevorkian Center, NYU, 3/3 at 5:30 pm Collaboration + Context, Art in General, 3/26 at 6:30 pm Agency and Surveillance, New School, 3/31 at 6:30 pm The format: This series is primarily focused on fostering the exchange of ideas, rather than introducing new work to new audiences (though we hope you may be intrigued enough by these artists’ ideas to seek out their work). For this reason, all the programs will have a roundtable rather than a presentation panel format. Participants will briefly introduce themselves and/or their work, and then participate in a moderated discussion focused on topical questions. The second hour of each roundtable will be open to questions from the audience.
