Chris Domenick analyzes the design and architecture of one rest stop in Ramapo, a place in upstate New York, as a consequence of the evolution of American highway ideology. How does a rest stop function in terms of a ‘site’ or ‘location’ with geographic specificity? The lecture operates as a psychic global travelogue, considering the construction and dissolution of individual subjectivities. Chris highlights the social and sexual ruptures in this story and uses them as a point of departure to discuss political boundaries, selfies, and the relationship between space and global networks.
About the series:
Staging Sex, Staging Self is a series of artists’ talks that move over and under the line where the body meets language and where that same body asks, “how is it that I am this way?” This series hinges on the production of gender, theatricality, and culture.
