What narratives constitute the popular reaction to the events of September 11 and the prevalent politics and aesthetics thereafter? During the last week of July, curator Zachary Kaplan will occupy Golden Age during business hours to discuss these ideas and more through a variety of media and activities. This approach is intended to stoke and evaluate interpretations of the attack’s evolving influence on the popular culture.
To launch the project, Kaplan will discuss the aesthetics of conspiracy and screen Charles Irvin’s video Membrane Lane and excerpts from popular videos such as Loose Change: An American Coup (Second Edition) and 911 Taboo. The first five visitors will receive a compilation of music culled from 9/11 conspiracy videos.
