AND
Performance Studies alum Christof Migone (Ph.D. '07) has curated the next installment of 12 annual events, -AND-, a 12-hour online event on Sunday December 12. From 12 noon to 12 midnight (EST).
-AND- follows on last year’s inaugural event YOU-, also on December 12. Each year of this 12-year long project the event moves through the following 12-word phrase one word at a time: ‘you and I are water earth fire air of life and death’ and activates the word of the year in myriad ways. This year the word is ‘and’, consequently the focus is on repetitions, conjunctions, and duos. Last year it started with ‘you’, this year we connect you to anything and everything, you are together-with. Or, we get stuck in the very act that ‘and’ opens up, into the enormity that the so-what-next that ‘and’ implies.
‘And’ is all possibilities in a nutshell. A secular litany that follows pi into infinity.
