November 3, 2012 at 7:00pm until November 10, 2012 at 10:00pm
Les Figues authors Martin Glaz Serup (Copenhagen) and Christine Wertheim (Los Angeles) will be on a Field Tour of the Field States from November 3-10, 2012.
Glaz Serup and Wertheim will also be creating a video-document entitled The Field / Field States. Inspired by Glaz Serup’s book, The Field, different people along the tour route (event attendees, students, etc.) will be asked to read one of the hundred pieces of The Field on video, creating short clips of field texts in different voices, different bodies, genders, and personas—though all from “field states” in the American Midwest (Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio). The filmed version will embody Glaz Serup’s The Field, performing everybody’s autobiography.
