Monday 1 February 2010, 19.10–20.30

The start time and meeting place for this event have changed. Please meet at 19.10 at the Staff Entrance to Tate Modern (on the east side of the building, just off Park Street). The event will run from 19.30–20.30. If you have any questions, please call 020 7887 8888.

We spend a third of our lives in darkness, yet the dark is more often than not something we strive to eliminate. The unknown is full of overwhelming possibilities that we can either shun or embrace. By engaging in a guided discussion with Hugh Huddy, discover how blindness can lead one to redefine darkness. This will be followed by Around the World in a Lunar Day, a performance by Stacy Makishi that explores how we react to the unknown and our ability to confront our anguish.

Please note that events take place inside How It Is. Seating will be on the floor of the installation, cushions or fold up chairs welcome.

Around the World in a Lunar Day was commissioned by TILT.
