Propositions was a public forum that explored ideas in development. Inspired by the scientific method of hypothesis, research, and synthesis, each two-day seminar explores a topic of current investigation in an invited speaker’s own artistic or intellectual practice. Over the course of a seminar session, these developing ideas were presented to the public, responded to, “researched,” and discussed to propel the ideas forward in unique ways.
