TICKETS + INFORMATION

The “artist lectures” created by visual artist Suzanne Bocanegra should never work. They’re theatricalized talks, using props and other visual media, given by Bocanegra through the medium of an actor who repeats words fed to them through an earpiece by Bocanegra, sitting on the side of the stage. What’s weird is that they turn out to be fascinating, compelling: a seemingly bad idea gone right — and of course it’s all about the process rather than the content. Bocanegra continues her retrospective of these pieces at Skirball with a particularly personal one. Ruth Negga takes over the role of speaker (yeah, she can play me whenever she wants).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Meatcentric English (sorry, Ruth) at Lord’s.
