Hello list, if anyone is in the New York area, I would be delighted to see you this Thursday evening for a salon featuring the work of Gregor Weichbrodt, a programmer, designer, and digital writer. Salons at my space, Room & Board, are always open, but since Gregor's work is particularly relevant to CRUMB's interests I wanted to extend a special invitation. The salons are informal, convivial events where artwork is presented outside of any institutional framing. We have quite a lot of fun. The address is 153 Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, just two blocks north of the L train. Best, Julia ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Julia Pelta Feldman <[log in to unmask]> Date: Sat, Oct 24, 2015 at 11:34 AM Subject: Thursday, October 29: a salon evening with Gregor Weichbrodt at Room & Board To: Cc: Julia Pelta Feldman <[log in to unmask]>, Deborah P <[log in to unmask]> Dear friends of Room & Board, Please join us this *Thursday, October 29* at *7:30* for a salon evening with Gregor Weichbrodt, our current artist-in-residence. Gregor, who is visiting from Berlin, is a programmer and designer who pursues something that his collaborator Hannes Bajohr, with whom he comprises the literary collective 0x0a <http://0x0a.li/en/>, calls "digital literature." (Gregor, however, maintains an experimental writer's mistrust of descriptive language.) Please be timely, as the main event - beginning with a reading of Gregor's elegant new translation of Franz Kafka's *Metamorphosis* - will be at *8:30pm*. This event is strongly to be recommended for anyone who likes books or the internet. (Upon reflection, it is also probably a good idea for anyone who hates books or the internet.) We will also have a selection of Gregor's print-on-demand books on hand for perusal or purchase. Hell of a season we've got here, folks: keep an ear and an eye out for a performance of sound poetry by Swantje Lichtenstein, Marc Matter, and Antje Vowinckel on *Wednesday, November 11*. And *Thursday, December 3* will bring the first edition (!) of R&B's Armchair Academy, a talk by art historian Bobby Brennan, who will present his research on the modern in the renaissance. I look forward to seeing you on the 29th!
