Curator-Guided Tours at the Austrian Cultural Forum New York
Guided tours of Under Pain of Death Guided Tours by curator Abraham Orden on March 26-28, 2008 at 3 pm.
Under Pain of Death – Contemporary Reflections about an ongoing Controversy (January 22 – May 12, 2008) The arrangement of the works in Under Pain of Death is conceived as a series of living interactions with capital punishment, rather than as an inert representation of the subject. To look at each of these works is to descend from the high-minded, disassociating, liberal gaze of the immune individual and to participate in roles which are fraught with uncertainty.
TIME: Monday – Saturday 10–6 pm
