📖Tailera Koberna grāmatas “Daži monologi” prezentācija // Tyler Coburn’s "Some Monologues" Book LaunchLatvijas Laikmetīgās mākslas centrs (LLMC) aicina uz Ņujorkā bāzētā mākslinieka un rakstnieka Tailera Koberna (Tyler Coburn) grāmatas “Some Monologues” (“Daži monologi”) prezentāciju 28. janvārī plkst. 18.30 LLMC bibliotēkā Rīgā, Alberta ielā 13 (7. stāvs)!
🔴Par grāmatu
Strādājot performanču, mākslas un daiļliteratūras jomā, Tailers Koberns rada monologus, kuros pēta, kā runā tiek atspoguļots “es”.
Koberna jaunākā grāmata “Some Monologues” apkopo piecpadsmit gadu laikā tapušus autora, kā arī mākslinieku, rakstnieku, kuratoru un zinātnieku tekstus, kas teorētiskā, poētiskā un autobiogrāfiskā stilā piedāvā jaunas perspektīvas par monologu kā vienlaikus plašu un relatīvu formu.
🔴Prezentācija, performance un saruna
Pasākumā Koberns uzstāsies ar monologu “People” (“Cilvēki”), pievēršoties personām, kas iesaistītas grāmatas satura veidošanā, – akadēmiķim, kurš intervēts projekta ietvaros, kādām mīlētājam, kurš apmeklējis vienu no autora monologiem, sadarbības partnerei Sūzenai Benetai (Susan Bennett), Siri oriģinālās balss aktrisei, datu centra darbiniekam, kuru Koberns aizvainojis, un citiem.
Performanci "People" iedvesmojusi amerikāņu aktiera un rakstnieka Spoldinga Greja (Spalding Gray, 1941–2004) monoizrāde “A Personal History of American Theatre” (“Personīga amerikāņu teātra vēsture”, 1980).
🗣️ Pēc performances notiks Koberna saruna ar LLMC kuratori Andru Silapēteri.
Pasākuma laikā būs iespējams iegādāties grāmatu (norēķini tikai ar bezskaidru naudu).

The Latvian Centre for Contemporary Art (LCCA) invites you to the launch of New York–based artist and writer Tyler Coburn’s book "Some Monologues" on January 28 at 6:30 PM at the LCCA Library, Alberta Street 13, Riga (7th floor)!
🔴 About the book
Working at the nexus of performance, art writing, and fiction, Tyler Coburn creates monologues that explore how the “I” is marked in speech.
His latest book, "Some Monologues", collects scripts of Coburn’s work over the past fifteen years. The book is accompanied by texts from eleven artists, writers, curators, and scholars. Written in theoretical, poetic, and autobiographical registers, these contributions offer new perspectives on the monologue as an expansive and relational form.
🔴 Book launch, performance, and conversation
At the event, Coburn will perform the monologue "People", focusing on the people involved in the making of the book—an academic he interviewed for a project, an amorous attendee of one of his monologues, his collaborator Susan Bennett (the original voice actress of Siri), a data center employee whom he insulted, and others.
The performance "People" is inspired by the one-person show "A Personal History of American Theatre" (1980) by American actor and writer Spalding Gray (1941–2004).
🗣️ After the performance, Coburn will be joined in conversation by LCCA curator Andra Silapētere.
The book will also be available for purchase during the event (cashless payments only).
