Notes by Barthes, Johan Huizinga, Virginia Woolf, and Melanie Klein mostly on writing, but equally relevant to all forms of art making, literalize ideas around demand and play, they exemplify a certain kind of intense engagement and absorption that artists and writers avail themselves of, participate in, and on occasion find therein: pleasure, bliss, wonder, agency and perhaps a place that harks back to, conjures, the “space around the mother”.

Screening and discussion: On Thursday, June 15th at 6pm, Fifty Minutes, a video by Moyra Davey will be screened, followed by a discussion with the filmmaker and Gregg Bordowitz.
