The audience will discuss the processes by which we are positioned as certain kinds of individuals in relation to war at an arts event at The New School, September 17, 2007. Thomas Keenan, director of the Human Rights Project, will join a discussion focusing on "9 Scripts from a Nation at War," an artwork now being exhibited at Documenta 12 in Kassel, Germany. "9 Scripts" is a collaborative work by David Thorne, Katya Sander, Ashley Hunt, Sharon Hayes and Andrea Geyer. It's a ten-channel video installation structured around a central question: How does war construct specific positions for individuals to fill, enact, speak from or resist? How are we positioned as artists, soldiers, students, prisoners, detainees, citizens, Iraqis, Europeans, Americans, and so on? "9 Scripts" was developed during a fellowship supported by the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School. [LINK]
