As Performance Writer-in-Residence, Conroy developed his experiments with compositions: aggregating, editing, looping and overlapping texts, sounds and videos. Using Glenn Ligon’s show as a reference, Conroy examined the politics of appropriation, particularly in relation to material generated from a position that is not one’s own.
This residency was part of Camden Art Centre’s Writer in Residence series.
Wednesday 10 December, 7.00 – 8.00pm
Performance-Writer-in-Residence, David Raymond Conroy, presented a performative talk which examined the complex of reciprocal attachments and polarizing conflicts that confront individuals as they navigate through race, gender, and class in social and political life. Conroy asked the question ‘how is it possible to make something if you have a sneaking feeling that you’ll always be in the wrong?’
David Raymond Conroy makes work about subjectivity, fidelity and desire.
