A talk by Yonatan Vinitsky
Tuesday 15/01/2008 | Entrance from 18:00, Talk starts at 18:30
Free Entrance
Artist Yonatan Vinitsky will present a one-hour talk discussing the 1845 English patent of the rubber band and its connections to the present day. The talk will fuse various subjects and narratives, current time and history in a way that the talk itself functions as a rubber band and as a source for gathering and passing information and stories.
