鈥淭he aesthetics of the universe assumed pre-established norms; the aesthetics of chaos-monde is the impassioned illustration and refutation of these.鈥�
鈥揋濒颈蝉蝉补苍迟, Poetics of Relation.
There is a trembling that, in its sudden and tenuous appearance, destabilizes our perceptions. It transcends the skin, the 鈥渇ourth wall,鈥� and the hard edges of received knowledge. Trembling thought slips through the breach鈥攐f history, convention, discipline鈥攖o insist on different arrangements of the possible. It provokes a return to the scene, a re-reading of the text; it troubles the edges of performance and offers a glimpse of photography鈥檚 errant note; it reveals the sacred in painting and amplifies new gestures of protest yet undone by the state. To tremble is always to tremble with: to ask, in common, what chaos-monde might rebuild.
The 2024 MA Symposium presents research by cohort members Rachel Silver Maddock, Joshua Segun-Lean, Sammy Kai Yee Chan, Michelle (Ziqi) Fu and Parastoo Pirasteh Fard. The evening will consist of 10-minute presentations by each scholar followed by a short Q&A session. We warmly invite you to come witness and revel in our research!
