For immediate release
Reading Lenin with Corporations
PRESS RELEASE:
September 11th - October 4th, 2008
Closing reception: Saturday, October 4th, 5-7 pm
Gallery hours: Thursday - Sunday, 12-6
Location: 9th Street, just east of First Avenue, street level
PS 122 Gallery is pleased to present “Reading Lenin with Corporations,” an exhibition-seminar based on an idea by Yevgeniy Fiks and produced by Yevgeniy Fiks, Kent Hansen, Olga Kopenkina, and Alexandra (Sasha) Lerman with participation of Janet Koenig, Anton Koslov, and Gregory Sholette.
“Reading Lenin with Corporations” is a reading seminar, which will meet in PS 122 Gallery once a week from September 9th to October 2nd, 2008, and it brings together artists and business/corporate employees to discuss the current state of globalization in the intersection of politics, art, and culture. At the core of the seminar will be V.I. Lenin’s text Imperialism the Highest Stage of Capitalism. Each session will focus on a chapter from Lenin's book which will be discussed in the context of the modern philosophical and political debates on Imperialism.
The agenda of the organizers of the seminar is a genuine attempt to understand multiple conflicting positions on a phenomenon known as “Imperialism.” During the seminars there will be discussions about the implications and limitations of Imperialism the Highest Stage of Capitalism, and more broadly, the effectiveness of Marxist analysis of Imperialism today. Lenin’s text will become a point of departure for a serious discussion on the global changes in structure and operations of Imperialism since the book’s release in 1917.
Although reading sessions will be closed for general public, reading sessions will be recorded on video and then screened during regular gallery hours in PS 122 Gallery.

Real Photographer
It looks like this guy in the middle is using a real 5x4 camera to shoot a street demonstration (St. Petersburg, Russia, February). Now, that is the true spirit of photography, not some digital "anyone can do it" crap!

Random Encounter Last Sunday
If anything, a blog helps me to keep in line with my memory and fight senility. Otherwise all these images would be lost in my endless hard drives and contact sheet folders that no one ever will open.
