As part of THE SPUD release tour, we’re excited are to present an evening of readings and performances by Brielle Brilliant and Yixuan Pan.
The SPUD is a puzzle: thinking/watching/living a movie rerun. While its content is most similar to A Clockwork Orange, Sartre's Nausea, or the works of Cormac McCarthy, its form has more in common with indie films like Badlands and Deleuze's philosophies on cinema.
“I can’t think of another writer like Brielle Brilliant right now. She’s doing something really unforgettable with language and narrative and memory and time.”
— Scott McClanahan, author of The Sarah Book
Brielle Brilliant is a writer, filmmaker, and prank caller. She is the author of The Curtsy Family(Thoughtcrime Press), the director of STREAKERS, and the voice behind Calls/Deliveries. Her series, Illocutionary Hay, can be found on exhibition at Open House Contemporary in Chicago, IL. Her book, The SPUD, is now available through Featherproof Books.
Yixuan Pan is an artist who was born and raised in the land of fish and rice, Hunan, China. To deal with issues of translation and communication as well as reimagining the western hegemony through a global outlook, her anti-disciplinary practice merges multiple media and modes of presentation such as installation, video, performance, lollipop making, music therapy practicing, choral conducting, and more. By dislocating language from its context and form, Pan questions the linguistic structures people learn and unlearn in relation to comfort, temperature, transparency, hierarchy and power dynamics.
