Julia Kristeva describes the SEMIOTIC CHORA as "a space of mobility; an enveloping, amorphous, non-metric space that both nourishes and threatens..."
— Kristeva, Desire in Language, 1998
It is a language with no objects signified: the space of perpetual renewal in the signifying process; a mobile receptacle of mixing, of contradiction and movement. It is language in the body; it is rhythm, sound. This series of three screenings will explore this sound (poetic language/madness/bliss) this pre/linguistic babble, while exposing the arbitrariness of boundaries in favor of an expanded field.
The screenings will be comprised of film and video works by Chantal Akerman, Dan Graham, Ximena Cuevas, Ana Mendieta, John Whitney, Ben Russell, Jennifer Reeves and many, many more. Sound by Ezra Buchla, and Corey Fogel.
