sintesi del comunicato stampa

Tuesday 15 December Keren Cytter talks about 'Integral outlines'. Cytter currently lives and works in Berlin. Recent solo exhibitions include CCA Center for Contemporary Art, Kitakyushu (2009), X-Initiative, NY (2009), Witte de With, Rotterdam (2008), and MUMOK, Vienna (2007). Her work is currently featured in the 53rd Venice Biennale and was included in group shows such as Television Delivers People, the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2008), Manifesta 7, Trentino (2008) and the Yokohama Triennale, Yokohama (2008). She was nominated for the Preis der Nationalgalerie fur Junge Kunst 2009, Berlin. Cytter is the author of three novels, most recently The True Story of MosheKlinberg, 2009, Onestar Press, Paris. Wednesday 16 December, Rebecca Bligh presents 'Autism: Systemizing, and Styles of Thinking'. The lecture will explore current theories of autism; those of Professor Simon Baron-Cohen of the Autism Research Centre in Cambridge, and those of Dr. Temple Grandin, next to Rain Man the most renowned autistic person on the planet. Particular attention will be paid to the relevance of 'brain sex' to the tendency to 'hypersystemize' (Baron-Cohen) and to the various thinking styles Grandin describes as typical of autism, understood, in both cases, as extremes on a continuum to which we all belong, neuro-typical and -atypical alike. Rebecca Bligh is a London-based writer and academic who is doing a PhD at Goldsmiths on the French phenomenologist Henry Corbin. Outside the confines of doctoral research, Rebecca has published on diverse subjects, most recently 'Readers Wives' pornography, and libraries.
