[A poster for the event. At its center, a landscape oriented image shows a Black person wearing athletic clothing running in the center of a paved street downhill towards the viewer. In their right arm they hold an emergency flare aloft. Another person runs on the sidewalk, and a cyclist in the road is visible just behind the runner. The sky is clear and blue, with trees that lack leaves encroaching the frame from the left and right.]


Kamron Hazel and Nat Marcus

September 3, 2021
4:30 pm

Haus Wien
am Kempelenpark, Vienna, Austria

The Center for Experimental Lectures invites you to Haus Wien on September 3rd at 4:30 pm for presentations of new work by Kamron Hazel and Nat Marcus. But of course, waxing over metronomic riddims, field recordings, and a syncopated ghetto blaster, Kamron will be giving a mistranslation of his elders' wisdom, a lecture against having new experiences. By means of two turntables, a set of poems, citations and samples, Nat Marcus will give a lecture on the home that house music provides for her.

This program will be live and in-person, without remote broadcast. Video documentation, and a transcription of this event will be made available online after the event at the Center for Experimental Lectures archive.

Kamron Hazel has created programming for Montez Press and Mighty Radio. He is currently an artist in residence at De Ateliers in Amsterdam. Hazel's work uses sound, video, installation, and performance to create disruptions into the logic of systems of authority and belief.

Nat Marcus is a poet, vocalist and designer. Along with Zoe Darsee, she is co-editor of TABLOID Press, an imprint for poetry and art-books founded in Berlin in 2014. While TABLOID's activities have come to encompass book design, facilitating poetry workshops and organising poetry readings, the publishing house maintains a focus on the poem as a social space and the poetics of a social body. Marcus’ recent poetry, art criticism and lyric journalism have also appeared in Flaunt Magazine, Novembre, DIS and Berlin Art Link. Marcus has participated in poetry readings and performances in a variety of venues including Contemporary Fine Arts Berlin (Berlin, DE), Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek (Copenhagen, DK), HÖR Radio (Berlin, DE), and Karlin Studios (Prague, CZ). As a vocalist, she has collaborated with musical artists such as Perila, exael, Soho Rezanejad, and Ulla Straus.
