Join Jennifer Kabat with 4Columns’s Place Is the Space, an evening of time-and-space travel marking the publication of Jennifer Kabat’s new book, Nightshining. Place Is the Space is a “call and response” mini-symposium asking artists and writers to consider one place that has held and still holds them, even if they are (or it is) no longer there. The respondents include Paul Chan, Sowon Kwon, Sukhdev Sandhu, Lynne Tillman, and a special video missive from Chris Kraus. The event will be followed by a book signing.
