What You Get Is What You See


Film and lecture Series
UnionDocs, Brooklyn, US
2014-
Artists and writers:  Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Caitlin Berrigan, Melanie Bonajo, Kenyatta Cheese, Nora Chipaumire,  Jace Clayton, Ant Hampton, Ilana Harris-Babou, David Levine, Irene Lusztig, Geoff Manaugh, Radha May,  Joiri Minaya, Elisa Giardina Papa, Martha Rosler, Lucy Sante, Courtney Stephens, Alex Strada, Krista Belle Stewart, Pilvi Takala.


What You Get Is What You See is a forum about spectatorship.

In this series of illustrated lectures, performances and film screenings, each guest is invited to reflect on the act of reception through a variety of  media,  perspectives and narratives.

Non-academic, intimate and process-based, each program  is  an experiment with the conventions of the  artist’s talk.
