28/03/2024 18:30 28/03/2024 20:00 America/New_York On and Off-Screen Imaginaries: A Film and Video Program Event detailsThursday–Saturday, March 28–30, 202412–6 pm  Dia Chelsea537 West 22nd Street New York, New York Free; no registration required. Co-organized by Dia with Primary Information and Printed Matter, this film and video program accompanies the launch of Sia’s first collection of essays, On and Off-Screen Imaginaries (2024). The selection of film and video works by Roddy Bogawa, An-My Lê, Simon Leung, Tiffany Sia, and Rea Tajiri illuminates Sia’s notion of the “no place,” a concept introduced in the book. As Sia writes, “no place” is a spatial “vision of locales whose specificities are blurred by invasion, violence, and hostility—contested territories, seized ports or battlefields, contact zones or port cities. . . . The “no place” cannot be known—it remains an enigma and lives on as specter.” These moving-image works will be on view in Dia Chelsea’s talk space from Thursday through Saturday, March 28–30, 12–6 pm:  Rea Tajiri, History and Memory, 1991. 32 min. Tiffany Sia, What Rules the Invisible, 2022. 10 min. Roddy Bogawa, The Imagined, the Longed-for, the Conquered and the Sublime, 1994. 8 min. An-My Lê, Small Wars, 2002. 5 min. Simon Leung, Surf Vietnam, 1998. On monitors, looped. A conversation between Tiffany Sia and An-My Lê on Thursday, March 28, 6:30 pm accompanies with the film and video program. In 2022, as part of Dia’s Artists on Artists Lecture Series, Sia delivered a lecture on Lê’s series Small Wars (1999–2002) and realized a filmic montage from the photographs that comprise it.  The program is presented on the occasion of Dia and Printer Matter’s partnership on the forthcoming NY Art Book Fair, held from April 26–28, 2024. Dia is once again hosting the book fair’s Classroom Series. Full schedule of events to be announced. Roddy Bogawa is a filmmaker living in New York. An-My Lê is an artist and professor living in Brooklyn. Simon Leung is an artist living in Brooklyn, New York, and Los Angeles. Tiffany Sia is an artist, filmmaker, and writer living in New York.

Blind Dates Recursive 05 Question: Who decides memorials? [When?/Where?/How?/Why?] Facilitated by Paul Legault  Paul Legault is a writer and editor who is interested in translation as a generative practice for creating original works of writing and art. He has published several books, including The Madeleine Poems (2010); The Other Poems (2011), a finalist for a Lambda Literary Award; The Emily Dickinson Reader: An English-to-English Translation of the Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson (2012); Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror 2 (2016); Lunch Poems 2 (2018); and The Tower (2020). He co-edited The Sonnets: Translating and Rewriting Shakespeare (2012) and previously, together with Sharmila Cohen and Lauren Hunter, the translation journal Telephone which featured a foreign poet in each issue translated into English by multiple writers. From 2013 to 2015 he served as Writer in Residence at Washington University in Saint Louis. He currently works at Penguin Random House and lives in Beacon, New York.  About the program series Blind Dates Recursive is a series of participatory public conversations held at Dia Beacon in conjunction with Rita McBride: Arena Momentum (on view through January 2025). These engagements take place on McBride’s Arena (1997), a modularly structured tribune that is activated by the presence of audiences and performers alike. Inspired by the artist’s decision to make the digital design files of Arena freely available through a copyleft license, which allows for the public to access and reinterpret the work, Blind Dates Recursive provides an ongoing, open forum to consider and enact the shifting nature of authorship. Each month, an invited facilitator poses a question and draws on their unique field of expertise to act as an instigator, listener, and moderator of the responses and conversation. Participants are encouraged to think out loud and in dialogue with each other during the hour-long session, at the end of which the facilitator will guide the group to collectively form a new question. The new question will be posed at the next session by a new facilitator. In this way, like a game of Telephone, Blind Dates Recursive generates iterative gatherings and an evolving public dialogue over the course of the exhibition. The public is encouraged to participate on a recurring basis. Blind Dates Recursive 05Saturday, April 13, 2024, 2–3 pm More information on the full program series is available here.
