Sidewalk Study: CLINICAL RUINS on Roosevelt Island

  • Roosevelt Island New York, New York (map)

From our AUGUST SIDEWALK STUDIES series: TACTICS of CARE

CLINICAL RUINS on Roosevelt Island

French psychiatrist Pierre Félix-Guattari is known for his critiques of twentieth-century psychiatry, in which he sought continually to destabilize the terrain upon which we understand the formation of the self. In her essay, The World is Unknown, Carolyn Lazard poses the question, "How do we get to the body we live in?"

We'll linger with these questions here, at the overgrown edges of institutional medicine, beside the now-derelict Roosevelt Island Smallpox Hospital. 

Sunday, August 18th: 2pm at the Roosevelt Island Smallpox Hospital

Félix Guattari's "La Borde: A Clinic Unlike Any Other" and Carolyn Lazard's "The World is Unknown" with Genevieve & Ariel.

This is a "destination Study" — please prepare accordingly (ie. pack water and sunscreen.)
