30 – 30 Vision

Administrator — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 21:25:17 +0000

At 7pm on Thurs March 1st, 2012, for the exhibit, Hospitality, Round Robin Collective will present 30-30 Vision, a program of experimental films and videos exploring medicine’s charged relationship to the body. Showing work by both mature and emerging filmmakers, the works delve into fantasies surrounding photography’s proximity to rational study, the social structures control, and left-over institutional spaces of empty corridors and rooms. Filmmakers Barbara Hammer, Caitlin Berrigan, Katherin McInnis, and Mary Billyou will be in attendance for conversation afterward.

Program is as follows:

Vital Statistics of a Citizen, Simply Obtained, Martha Rosler, 1977 (shown as a loop)

1-9, Mary Billyou, 2008

Concoctions, Caitlin Berrigan, 2004

Underexposed: The Temple of the Fetus, Kathy High, 1994

Shelter, Katherin McInnis, 2012

Sanctus, Barbara Hammer, 1990

TRT: 105 mins.

This screening is supported by a grant from NYSCA’s Electronic Media Presentation Funds.

Reading Group : On the Social Contract by Jean-Jacques Rousseau

“Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains” – these are the famous opening words of the treatise by Jean-Jacques Rousseau that helped inspire the writing of the United States Constitution. Rejecting the view that anyone has a natural right to wield authority over others, Rousseau argues instead for a pact, or ‘social contract’, that should exist between all the citizens of a state and that should be the source of sovereign power.

During these three meetings, we will read sections and discuss “On the Social Contract,” by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Collective reading allows for the ability to enter into difficult texts that might not be as easily accessible on an individual reader’s level.

Reading Schedule

Feb 7: Book I

Feb 21: Book II + Book III

Feb 28: Book IV

Organized as part of the exhibit, Hospitality.
