Williams' final residency presentation is a collaborative textile, video, sonic, and linguistic work that centers on the intersections between a screen and its projection and on the unseen gestures that vanish into the surface of images they create.

A talk by Evan Calder Williams develops around two fields of inquiry: the practice of weaving and the concept of the grotesque. Continuing his interest in the essay form as experimental historical montage, Williams moves between the daily and fantastic, passing amongst pixels, tombs, and factories.

Incorporating video shot in both a modernist dollhouse and a melting spring forest, this performance and live essay moves widely among sites and texts, ranging from Anna Kavan’s slipstream novels to the nineteenth-century Caribbean and from fascist glacial cosmology to ghost ships allegedly crewed by cannibal rats.

The US Premiere of Evan Calder Williams' film "Violent X" features a live improvised soundtrack by Tokyo-based Taku Unami with Williams, joining a work of pulp and radical history to early instances of cinema narration and accompaniment. In a second set, Unami collaborates with Eugene Thacker and Jarrod Fowler.

SPECIAL EVENT: ISSUE and the Van Alen Institute present an evening of performances and talks celebrating the launch of "Elsewhere: Escape and the Urban Landscape", exploring escape in the urban environment. With Richard Sennett, Keller Easterling, Joseph Keckler, Maria Chavez, Evan Calder Williams and more.

"In the Wan Light of Napalm and Moon" presents new research into the intersection of two old and ever-renewing histories: horror and capital. A collaboration w/ Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe AKA Lichens and an armoire, Williams sketches a secret hell of production and circulation, inspired by a Restoration Hardware catalog.
