John Miller: March 31
AMT Visiting Artists Lecture Series: John Miller
March 31, 3:15pm
Parsons The New School for Design
Kellen Auditorium, Johnson Design Center, 66 Fifth Avenue
John Miller is an artist, writer, and teacher based in New York and Berlin. In the January 2010 issue of Artforum he is described as “an artist and critic whose work continually unpacks the claims of the day’s prevailing artistic approaches—to say nothing of the seemingly inexhaustible detritus of culture at large.” A survey of his work will be featured at the Kunsthalle Zurich in August 2009. A collection of his criticism, The Price Club: Selected Writings, 1977–1996, was co-published by JRP Editions and the Consortium in 2000. Miller is currently an associate professor in Barnard College’s Art History department and is represented by Metro Pictures in New York.
Free; no tickets or reservations required; seating is first-come first-served

Spinning Straw into Gold: March 27
“Spinning Straw into Gold—Art, Value, and the Alchemical Collector,”
A panel discussion featuring Mark Dion, Sal Randolph, McKenzie Wark, and Robert Williams
Saturday, March 27, 6–7 pm
Cabinet, 300 Nevins Street
This panel discussion will be followed by an opening reception for "An Ordinall of Alchimy," a Mildred’s Lane project organized by Mark Dion & Robert Williams, with Matt Bettine, Joey Cruz, Kathryn Cornelius, Gabriella D’Italia, Scott Jarrett, Aislinn Pentecost-Farren, John Wanzel, Laura E. Wertheim, and Bryan Wilson.
"An Ordinall of Alchimy" inaugurates "999," an occasional series of exhibitions presented by Cabinet in which artists are invited to assemble work under a single constraint: everything installed in the gallery must have been acquired on Ebay for a total of less than $999. When the exhibition comes down, its contents are offered for sale as a single item, once again on Ebay.
In 2009, Mark Dion, Robert Williams, and their students at the Pennsylvania artists’ colony Mildred’s Lane used Cabinet’s invitation as an opportunity to explore the theme of alchemical transformation. “An Ordinall of Alchimy” comprises the objects they assembled, a collection keyed to the seven basic processes of practical alchemy: Calcination, Fixation, Solution, Distillation, Sublimation, Separation, and Projection.
A Proposition by Rodney McMillian: March 26+27
A Proposition by Rodney McMillian: 13 unrelated ideas
New Museum, 235 Bowery
Friday: 7pm lecture by Rodney McMillian
Saturday: 3pm Performance by Rodney McMillian, Tracie D. Morris, and Chicava HoneyChild
How does performance function in each of the vignettes presented (Bobby Womack, Jada Fire, Samuel R. Delaney, Nina Simone, Michael Jackson, Aliens, Funkadelic...)? How do we understand subjectivity or personae in terms of abstraction? How do we understand subjectivity from within the performances? Are these really the questions? Or is it about physicality, images, sound, historical perspectives and the insistence of a need to utter that's being presented or represented? Alternatives to other forms of political, cultural or domestic powers? A freedom? A possibility that film, photography, material, and performance are a form of time travel? A possibility, like in Samuel R. Delaney’s science fiction novel Dhalgren, whereby potential and repetition are actions?

March 25, 7–9 pm

FREE. No RSVP necessary.
From the top and bottom bunks, respectively, Jeff Dolven and Wayne Koestenbaum will consider the ancient friendship between sleep and poetry, touching on such topics as embowerment, somnambulism, styles of sleeping, crepuscular consciousness, no-doz, and drowsy syrups.
The first in a series of bunk bed conversations at Cabinet, exploring the public potential of this most private, archaic, and companionable of American scenes. For a long time, we used to go to bed early. On March 25, won't you stay up and talk with us?
