LECTURE: *Inclassable* (Unclassifiable) – A solo stand-up show by and featuring Julie Dirwimmer
SAT, OCTOBER 3 • 3:00 PM
Welcome to *Inclassable*, a mock-lecture on the classification of food containers... and other things.
"I decided to go where classification has never gone before, and I decided to start with my Tupperware drawer," exclaims Julie Dirwimmer. Armed with scientific theories and field research, the artist categorizes the containers in her kitchen—and ours.
"When I opened your cupboards and your drawers... I saw things." While making us laugh, she prompts both young and old to reflect on their relationship with objects, clutter, classification, and, of course, tidying up.
JULIE DIRWIMMER IS A QUEBEC-BASED ARTIST AND SCIENTIST.
She is known on the Quebec scene as "Mme Cosinus," a spoken-word artist who draws inspiration from science for her projects.
Auditorium { Ages 10+ } 70 min. Free with reservation
