Thursday, April 14th | 6:30pm | Round-table | The New School - Theresa Lang CenterWith: Nan Goldin, Ruwen Ogien, Carole Talon-Hugon, Lynne TillmanHosted by: Robert Polito, Benjamen WalkerCo-presented with the Writing Program at the New School, Cursor and ApertureIs there a limit to what art should show? Should it take into account its audience’s sensitivity or sense of modesty, or isn’t its purpose precisely to create some discomfort? Ruwen Ogien, theorist of “minimal ethics,” who has written extensively on pornography and Carole Talon-Hugon, the author of Morales de l’art that analyses the representation of emotions and passions, will debate it with Lynne Tillman, whose new collection of stories, Someday This Will Be Funny, will be published in April by Red Lemonade Press, and Nan Goldin, whose celebrated work has revolutionized the representation of love, gender, sexuality, domesticity and intimacy.

Monday, April 11th | 6:30pm | Round-table | Aperture GalleryWith: Miguel Benasayag, Nina Berman, Didier Fassin, George PackerHosted by: Mark GreifCo-presented with Aperture and n+1So far, 2011 has been a watershed year for political engagement–from North Africa to the halls of the Wisconsin Capitol. Across the world the struggles for peace, civil and human rights and the protection of the environment move people to action. But who are the faces of these movements? Who are the Sartre, De Beauvoir and Luther King of today? What are the new tools of activism online and in the streets? A former Che-Guevarist in Argentina, Miguel Benasayag dedicates himself today to issues of health and immigration in France. Didier Fassin analyses the expansion of an international humanitarian government and studies the treatment of disadvantaged groups through an ethnography of police, justice and prison. George Packer, a staff writer for the New Yorker, has covered the Iraq War for the magazine, and has also written about the atrocities committed in Sierra Leone, civil unrest in Ivory Coast, the megacity of Lagos, and global counterinsurgency. Nina Berman, a documentary photographer with a primary interest in the American political and social landscape, will join the discussion. Her work has been extensively published, exhibited and collected, receiving awards in art and journalism, and her images of wounded American veterans from the Iraq War are internationally known.

Saturday, April 16th | 11:00am | Fair | Jo's RestaurantWith: Deborah Coen , Pierre Pachet, Lytle Shaw, Luc Steels, Ginger Strand, Carole Talon-HugonHosted by: Sina NajafiCo-presented with Cabinet and Jo's - 11AM to 4PMThis series of three "Fairs for Knowledge" aims to take learning out of the classroom and into unexpected venues, including a flea market, a restaurant, and a laundromat. Focusing on apparently minor topics that if treated correctly can in fact open up to a wide number of cultural and scientific disciplines, each fair will feature "stalls" where visitors can have short, spontaneous one-on-one conversations with leading experts in a given field. Aiming to create bridges between specialists and the general public, these fairs are designed to encourage an informal, social, and open mode of learning.The themes for the fairs will be "Hair", "Clouds", and "Chicken", three overfamiliar and undertheorized objects of study that are perfectly situated to create a conversation that draws on social, literary, artistic, political, and economic sources.The first event, on the topic of "Hair", took place on 30 January 2011at the Brooklyn Flea, with booths installed between vendors at the popular weekend market. This season’s Fair for Knowledge on “Clouds” will take place at Jo's restaurant, where diners can also order some food for thought—in the form of a conversation with scholar Lytle Shaw, historian Deborah Coen, essayist Pierre Pachet, computer scientist Luc Steels, essayist Ginger Strand or philosopher Carole Talon-Hugon—to be served at their table along with their meal.
