John Giorno @ MoMA PS1, Nov 8

6 November 2015

New York’s MoMA PS1 is presenting the latest edition of Sunday Sessions, called ‘It’s Not What Happens, It’s How You Handle It’, on November 8.

Organised by poet, visual artist and Performance Poetry co-founder John Giorno, along with Mark Beasley, the event explores a contemporary generation’s use of the internet and social media, mirrored by Giorno’s poetic use of technology.

Also taking part are Harry Burke, Todd Colby, Andrew Durbin, Ben Fama, Sophia le Fraga, Fanny Howe, Paolo Javier, Tan Lin, Morgan Parker, and Bunny Rogers, who all examine how  the internet is recalibrating digital spaces/languages and somehow express that “text and the staging of language is no longer a form fixed by the printed page.”

See the MoMa PS1 website for details.**
