Matt Mullican Lecture

cc Media went along to the ICA Theatre to capture Matt Mullican’s lecture on 12th January 2010. This was part of the For The Blind Man exhibition.

His work explores the way in which hypnosis alters behaviour and seems to expose what lies behind the façade of identity. The symbols and shapes that he paints during the performance are a visual counterpoint to this inner journey, and point to the strong relationship between the unconscious mind and creativity.

The filming was restricted to being at the back of the theatre with one camera on the night but we have great sound and the YouTube video now has captions, hope you enjoy!

On the 12 March 2009 at 7pm cc media will be filming the author, James Frey.

The memoir genre has never been so attractive to writers. But what is the use of memoir? Do we value memoir for its truth or its artfulness, and is the chief obligation of the memoirist to fidelity or to storytelling? James Frey is the author of A Million Little Pieces and Bright Shiny Morning. This evening he will be in conversation with Alex Clark, editor of Granta.
