I’m in Paris to give a talk at the Kadist Art Foundation on Tuesday, June 19, 8pm. I’ll be speaking about the research I did on ‘last person on earth’ movies for The Secret Life of Things, a video I made for a group exhibition at the CCA Wattis last fall. The Kadist is currently hosting The Backroom, a “research-oriented project that provides access to source materials which inform and support artists’ practice.” The Backroom is organized by Magali Arriola, Kate Fowle, and Renaud Proch. The full English and French invite can be found on Kadist’s Web site.
John Menick is an artist and writer living in Brooklyn, NY.
