Performance: The Cordiality Paradox
Thursday, November 29, 6:30pm
Walker Art Center, Free
Mario García Torres’s The Cordiality Paradox, performed live by Helmut Berger (Saint Laurent), is the second of three monologues presented in conjunction with the exhibition Mario García Torres: Illusion Brought Me Here.
The Cordiality Paradox highlights Bertrand Russell’s paradox and Zeno’s second paradox of motion, two concepts essential to the foundations of mathematics. In the seemingly impromptu, redeeming story, the protagonist describes a series of recollections in which Russell’s and Zeno’s ideas are surreptitiously relayed. (30 mins.)
