January 8, 2002, FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Radical Time is a one-day symposium to be held in Los Angeles on January

19th, 2002. This 12-hour event is independently organized by six artists,

in affiliation with the Art Department at the University of California, Los

Angeles.


Radical Time brings together artists, writers, activists, theorists, and

other cultural producers to investigate overlapping discourses of

temporality and radicality. The title Radical Time is a provocation, a

starting point, and an invitation, for presenters and audience alike.

Examinations include, but are certainly not limited to, the present as a

historical and political moment, time as a critical medium, the functions

of historiography, nostalgia, allegory and memory, and desires for cultural

and political transformation. From the urgent need to examine the critical

juncture of radicality and temporality, Radical Time seeks to support

wide-ranging but focused discussions which will address what Claude

Levi-Strauss calls our "past legacies and future tendencies."


Beginning at 10 am, the 12-hour symposium consists of twenty 20-minute

presentations. The day will be organized around five sets of four

presentations, each of which will be followed by ample time for response

and discussion. The all-day marathon environment allows for the dialogue to

extend through disparate presentations and for discussions to spill into

social gathering.


Speakers include: Jayce Salloum, Warren Sack, Kara Lynch, Laurent Dubois,=20=
