Featuring: Ian Balfour, Carlos Basualdo, Luis Jacob, Saara Liinamaa, Maria Lind, Nina Möntmann, and Emily Roysdon, with a keynote lecture by Simon Critchley
Combining perspectives from artists, philosophers and curators, this international symposium considers current ideas and reconceptualizations of communities and collectivity. Taking its cue from Nina Möntmann's guest-curated exhibition at The Power Plant, 'If We Can't Get It Together', the symposium traces the creation of temporary social formations.
On Friday evening, Simon Critchley will present the keynote address—a presentation entitled 'Mystical Anarchism'. His address will be moderated by Ian Balfour (Professor of English at York University).
Simon Critchley was born in Hertfordshire, England, in 1960, and currently lives and works in New York as Professor of Philosophy at The New School for Social Research, where he works in continental philosophy, history of philosophy, literature, ethics, and politics. He failed dramatically at school before failing in a large number of punk bands in the late 1970s and failing as a poet some time later. This was followed by failure as a radical political activist. By complete accident, he ended up at university when he was twenty-two and decided to stay. He found a vocation in teaching philosophy, although his passions still lie in music, poetry and politics. His books include The Ethics of Deconstruction (1992),Very Little... Almost Nothing (1997), On Humour (2002), Things Merely Are (2005), Infinitely Demanding (2007) and The Book of Dead Philosophers (2008).
