This talk is about errant drone aircraft. A drone sunk in 500 fathoms of water off the coast of San Diego in 1937. A fragment of a D-21 drone launched over China in 1969 returned to an American CIA agent as a present from the KGB in the 1980s. A crashed Israeli drone reported by an Egyptian news agency after the Arab-Israeli War of 1973. An American spy drone crashed in El Salvador in 1985.

Claire Obscur
Finissage, 12 Jun 2018, 18:00
The title of the exhibition, Clair obscur, evokes a subtle diffusion of the uncanny. The term denotes a style of painting much favoured in the Baroque period. It is known as chiaroscuro in English. Figures are picked out in light in a domain of darkness. The contrasts are strong and engender both spatial depth and striking atmospheres. Scenes are rich in drama, affects are heightened.

On and On and On
Lecture, 18 Jun 2018, 19:30
Serial killing is an extremely rare form of homicide that is nonetheless culturally ubiquitous. Much of what makes it so resonant is the very naming of it ‘serial’. The seriality of serial killing – the temporal form of narratives of multiple murder – touches on perceptions about the organization of time in modern culture and the fears and also pleasures it affords. This presentation will focus on serial killer films and reference a number of titles including And Soon the Darkness (UK 1970), Las horas del día (Spain 2003), Seven (USA 1995) and Sombre (France 1998).

Barthes, Queer Before Queer?
Lecture, 25 Jun 2018, 19:30
Barthes’s homosexuality is a well-known fact, and recent biographies have shed light on this major part of his social life. How should the inaugural text of Mythologies (‘The World of Wrestling’) be re-read in light of the fact that he was going to wrestling matches with Michel Foucault in order to hook up? What can we learn from it, say, about masculinity, and signs of gay visual culture and desire in general? Organized by Julie Gaillard and Francesco Giusti
