FUN PROBLEMS W/ SMART PEOPLE
A book opening!
To mark the launch of Problems and Provocations: Grand Arts 1995-2015, transcendental tour guide Timothy “Speed” Levitch leads a dynamic cruise through creative practice, as artists, writers, and thinkers from Grand Arts’ constellation take the stage to puzzle out problems of risk, magic, pleasure, ghosts, and what comes after art. Come find us in NY and KC!
To celebrate the coincidence of P&P’s publication and TOTAL PROOF: The GALA Committee 1995-1997 — which has been getting some attention of late — our New York episode takes place at Red Bull Studios, amid the re-staging of a project Grand Arts helped produce nearly twenty years ago.
Guest appearances by Mel Chin, Michael Jones McKean, Maria Buszek, Emily Roysdon, John Salvest, Rosemarie Fiore, Filip Noterdaeme, Christophe Thompson and Stephen Lichty, and an exclusive multiple by Spurse.
