NONSITE || CAConrad and Frank Sherlock: Dialog and Workshop

Together with Small Press Traffic, the Nonsite Collective is co-sponsoring a dialogue and writing workshop with Frank Sherlock and CAConrad, who promise to stimulate poetic interventions into the present, past, and future life of the city.

This event will contribute to several Nonsite curricula and ongoing investigations: Aesthetics as Somatic Practice and Spatial Practices.

Anticipating this event, CAConrad and Frank Sherlock have contributed the following to the Nonsite webiste:
