Serial Space

In 2012 Serial Space will present a rolling series of Performance Lectures on a wide range of topics from giant earthworms to facebook robots and from the Garden of Eden to gravel and from motherhood to unix.

Lectures will occur Bimonthly, starting in March. So stay tuned for more info on lecturers, dates and topics …

A lecture can be either a long educational talk to a class, or a serious speech, especially one given as a scalding reprimand. Put the two definitions together and you get a long educational talk that is performed like a scalding reprimand. Oftentimes a lecture’s topic is incredibly interesting but the presentation incredibly dry or alienating. Or vice versa, a charismatic speaker speaks for hours about nothing much in particular. This performance lecture series will explore the relationship between the form and content of a lecture, its performance or mode of presentation and how the performer(s) assume authority and what an audience or class will take away from the lecture.

Come along. You might learn something.
