Group Material Show and Tell: 
A day of lectures and talks about Group Material 
Sunday, October 24, noon–7 pm
Artists Space, Greene Street, NYC
$20/rsvp@artisspace.org

I’ll be spending tomorrow at Artists Space on a research mission of sorts for a piece on Group Material I’m just finishing for an upcoming issue of Print magazine. Ute Meta Bauer, Simon Critchley, and Richard Meyer will speak; Steve Kurtz of Critical Art Ensemble will lead a discussion with GM members Julie Ault, Doug Ashford, Liliana Downes, Thomas Eggerer, and Tim Rollins. Promising. Go. 

[A note on the image above: This is an installations shot of a series of posters GM installed in Union Square in 1982, Da Zi Baos. Dazibaos (“big character poster”) is a form of Chinese public debate wherein handwritten posters that opine or inform on a given subject are posted in a public place; the series was developed after Tim Rollins visited China in 1978, and features statements on womens rights, the death penalty, and labor unions, all culled from passersby in Union Square by GM members before being rendered by hand into these posters. Yes, I’ve been researching.]
