Open City Dialogue with David Byrne
He’ll be discussing his theory of artistic creation, which hinges on the idea that rather than performative spaces coming about to suit music or other such art forms, the music/art that is created comes about to fit the pre-existing spaces. Confusing? Yes, but go and find out for sure what he’s talking about. Monday, December 1. 7:30 p.m. 709 Lorimer Street, Pete’s Candy Store.
