Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art (SFSIA) is pleased to present the public lecture "Habits of Assembly" by Stefano Harney. Moving from Locke to Logistics by way of MC Richards and Manolo Callahan, this talk will come to rest with the idea of 'our otium' amidst the black conservation that promises in everyday revision and inaccess our flesh/earth.

Stefano Harney teaches at Singapore Management University in Singapore. With Fred Moten he wrote The Undercommons: fugitive planning and black study (2013) and the forthcoming All Incomplete, both published by Autonomedia/Minor Compositions. With Tonika Sealy Thompson he recently published ‘Ground Provisions’ in the journal Afterall, a description of the eponymous art and education project. He is also co-founder of Immeasure, an anti-consultancy with Emma Dowling. He is a member of the freethought collective, and curated ‘Shipping and the Shipped’ at the 2016 Bergen Assembly triennial as part of the Infrastructure platform. He also helped start School of Study, an ensemble project for university teachers, and he participates in Le Mardi Gras Listening Collective.
