The New Musuem's monthly series, Propositions, will feature installation artist Haegue Yang this weekend as she shares her research on the writings and life of Marguerite Duras. Ms. Yang recently published a Korean translation of The Malady of Death and is suggesting it might be developed for theater or film.
The New Museum designed the series to explore ideas in development, and states on it's website: "Inspired by the scientific method of hypothesis, research, and
synthesis, each two-day seminar explores a topic of current
investigation in an invited speaker’s own artistic or intellectual
practice. Over the course of a seminar session, these developing ideas
are presented to the public, responded to, “researched,” and discussed
to propel the ideas forward in unique ways."
The structure of Propositions is as follows:
Friday, 7:00 PM – Initial proposition and lecture
Saturday, 12:00 PM – Guest speaker responds, followed by a lunch break
Saturday, 3:00 PM – Discussion
