Tracking Transience: The Orwell Project
Wednesday Jan 13, 2010 (7pm)
Cabinet Magazine Space
300 Nevins St
In Hasan Elahi's lauded art, there is a recurring focus on surveillance and its associated boundaries and breaches. His latest project came out of a six-month ordeal with the FBI — they were mistakenly tipped to look out for him. After nine consecutive lie-detector tests and countless other interrogations, he was cleared to be "free" again. But lest he receive another government-issued j'accuse, the artist took the liberty of documenting his daily life — from meals to his moment-to-moment whereabouts — for all to see. For tonight's ArteEast and Cabinet Magazine-hosted gathering, he chats about and presents the appropriately named Tracking Transience: The Orwell Project.
