Reading: The Law of Large Numbers
Thu, Apr 29, 2021, 1pm
The Law of Large Numbers (2021)
Rindon Johnson and writers Anaïs Duplan, Asher Hartman, and Aristilde Kirby read texts from and in response to The Law of Large Numbers, a new book of Johnson’s writings co-published by SculptureCenter, Chisenhale Gallery, and Inpatient Press.
Echoing the porous thinking and writing practice documented throughout Johnson's publication and exhibition, this program continues to situate Johnson's artistic approach alongside and in changing relation to other ideas, texts, and people. Like much of his work, Johnson’s writing explores how supposed virtual and actual realities are integrated, and how artistic production contributes to an ongoing process of identification and disidentification.
An excerpt of the publication is available to read here and you can order a copy here.
