Opening Reception | Exhibition: Mass Observation 2.0: Research into the Everyday


Part exhibition, part archive, and part platform for workshops, events, and talks, Mass Observation 2.0 aims to create a participatory space for research and exchange. The project aims to research everyday life with a theoretical and practical, analytical and investigative, critical and experimental, online and offline approach, and to understand the everyday as a phenomenon that since modernity continuously shapes our perception of the world and increasingly generates altered forms of communication and relatedness under the influence of new technologies. The exhibition features digital material in the form of a collective “dominant image” archive, creating and performing instructions devised by students as methods for defamiliarizing and interrupting habitual responses to the everyday, as well as artistic research projects.

Author Reading | Fred Abrahams discusses his book Modern Albania


In the early 1990s, Albania, Europe’s most closed and repressive state, began a startling transition out of forty years of self-imposed Communist isolation. Albanians who were not allowed to practice religion, travel abroad, wear jeans, or read “decadent” Western literature began to devour the outside world. They opened cafés, companies, and newspapers. Previously banned rock music blared in the streets.

Talk | Artist Talk: Kim Deitch


Kim Deitch presents samples of the book he's been working on for the past three years. It's a pseudo autobiography in that almost nothing in it is true. The over-riding theme is re-incarnation—a concept that the author has no firm convictions about one way or the other. Kim Deitch has a reserved place at the first table of underground cartoonists. The son of UPA and Terrytoons animator Gene Deitch, Kim was born in 1944 and grew up around the animation business.
