Cabinet Magazine
Thursday 18 June, 7pm
Cabinet magazine presents ‘Reading in the Dark’: a selection of talks and performances that takes place entirely in the dark, or more precisely, the ‘half light’. Brian Dillon, UK Editor of Cabinet, discusses the history of the void in literature, art and art writing. Writer and critic Sally O’Reilly performs an invisible theatre piece of her own devising. Artist Jeremy Millar talks about the history and significance of the black mirror. There are dark thoughts, obscure utterances and some black looks.
