A Conversation with Magnus Sigurdarson and Rene Morales

November 14, 2018, 7pm

Join us to sit on the bleachers one more time before Magnús show closes. PAMM curator Rene Morales and Magnús Sigurðarson will have a conversation about his show ADIOS MELANCHOLY – THE PARROTY OF LIFE. We can ask questions, and maybe together we can figure out the question that’s been haunting me : What does it mean? Will there be a sequel? – Tyler Emerson-Dorsch
