Screening and talk on January 28, 2019 — 6.30 pm
A reflexive work on art and interpretation, Seth Price’s film Redistribution began as a 2007 lecture-performance at the Guggenheim. His skepticism toward fixed meaning led him to consider the concept of the artist’s lecture: what happens when the artist’s commentary, as seen in documentaries and museum education programming, is brought into the exhibition itself? In Redistribution, Price largely restricts his comments to matters of process and avoids discussing meaning. Filming staged additions and adding tangential inserts, Price has continued to alter the documentation of the lecture. Over time, the video has been presented in eight distinct versions; this event will feature the newest. The screening is followed by a Q&A with the artist.
