Staged in a creaky, wooden floored Parisian recording studio at the inaugural three-day “forum of ideas” focusing on the manifold possibilities of Resistance (the title of Jean-François Lyotard’s unrealized follow-up exhibition to his 1983 Les Immateriaux), occasional collaborators Ben Rivers and Ben Russell have produced what appears to be a structuralist document of a philosophical discussion in the round.  The “appearance dimension” is deceptive, however, and with the aid of a Green-Man-shaped infinite void and an impressive cast of thinkers, critics and artists, the document is slowly transformed into THE RARE EVENT - a portal into another time-space altogether.
