Return of Theory Night
Something to look forward to for 2010: Theory Night, Miami’s own series of salon-like gatherings and discussions, which has been on hiatus for some months now, will soon make a return this coming January with a discussion of the late- David Foster Wallace’s E Unibus Pluram: Television and US Fiction, from his A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again essay anthology.
For those not familiar, Theory Night is a long running series of casual talks where people get together to discuss critical texts, current events, and a varied array of topics ranging from art to literature. It was started in 2008, organized by MOCA associate curator Ruba Katrib (although the event itself is not officially affiliated with the museum) and has been held since with sporadic regularity at a revolving door of changing venues, the most recent being the Bas Fisher Invitational.
Though the exact date and location of the next Theory Night has not been set, it will be taking place sometime in the second week of January. Those interested in attending are asked to keep an eye on their blog for updates, and leave a comment if you wish to be added to their email update list.
