US Launch of ISSUES ONE AND TWO
Readings • Screenings • Sound

Microscope is pleased to present the US Launch of Issues One and Two of The Current Thing, edited by Caspar Stracke and Keith Sanborn. The evening will include readings and films by contributing New York area artists.

THE CURRENT THING is an art journal that emerged in the darkest hours of the first lockdown. It is a project by THE THING, and part of a series of resurrecting New York’s oldest online platform for art and criticism.

A compilation of artists’ writings, drawings, sounds and films, Issue ONE contains thoughts and insights from the first eight weeks of the lockdown. The recently published new issue TWO, features post-pandemic thoughts on resistance towards exaggerated online culture by means of time-travel.

Join us for the long delayed, long awaited US launch with readings by Lynne Sachs, Cathy Crane, Caspar and Keith plus films and film excerpts by:

Peggy Ahwesh
