Included in The Classroom program, Short Stories artist Iman Issa will discuss her current SculptureCenter exhibition and new book, 'Thirty Three Stories about Reasonable Characters in Familiar Places'. As well as her interest in settings that are neither language nor form, but liminal and associative thresholds on the verge of becoming places. Presenting previous video and audio work, Issa will appear in conversation with the exhibition's curator, Isla Leaver-Yap.

The Classroom located in Gallery U, on the 3rd Floor, is a curated series of informal conversations, workshops, readings and other artist-led programs, with continuous enrollment for all fair-goers throughout the weekend.
