Co-organized by Dia with Primary Information and Printed Matter, this conversation between Tiffany Sia and An-My Lê marks the release of Sia’s collection of essays, On and Off-Screen Imaginaries (2024). In 2022, as part of Dia’s Artists on Artists Lecture Series, Sia delivered a lecture on Lê’s series Small Wars (1999–2002) and realized a filmic montage from the photographs that comprise it.
A program of film and video works by Roddy Bogawa, An-My Lê, Simon Leung, Tiffany Sia, and Rea Tajiri accompanies with the conversation, chosen as works that illuminate Sia’s notion of the “no place,” a concept introduced in the book. As Sia writes, “no place” is a spatial “vision of locales whose specificities are blurred by invasion, violence, and hostility—contested territories, seized ports or battlefields, contact zones or port cities. . . . The “no place” cannot be known—it remains an enigma and lives on as specter.” These moving-image works will be on view in Dia Chelsea’s talk space from Thursday through Saturday, March 28–30, 12–6 pm.
The event is presented on the occasion of Dia and Printer Matter’s partnership on the forthcoming NY Art Book Fair, held from April 26–28, 2024. Dia is once again hosting the book fair’s Classroom Series. Full schedule of events to be announced.
