Soapbox presents A Circle is (Not) an Angle, a performance lecture by Evan Fusco on the topic of circles and stories and angles and violence and a concern for language's funniness. Their artist talk A Circle is (not) an Angle stems from a simply odd conversation about mathematics amongst friends here at Comfort Station. Thinking about circles and angles and expanding out from there, Fusco will think through violences of knowledge, gaps in space, portals, idealism, Kandinsky, and more. In the end it will begin again if only because it does what a circle must. 

Evan Fusco is a producer of texts based in Chicago, IL. Their work looks at knowledge as something constantly being produced and attempts to find the generative moments of disarray in that production. They graduated with an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2019 and currently teach there in the Printmedia and Contemporary Practices departments. Recently their work has been published in Other Forms’ Counter Signals publication, Plates Journal, Caitlin McCann’s In a Car On a Road Going to a Place, and their book Pathologies of the Margin; a study in dissipation was the inaugural book of their small press GENERAL ANTAGONISM. Work of their’s has been shown and been presented at MOCA Cleveland, Apparatus Projects, The Chicago Art Book Fair, Cybertwee Headquarters, and Carroll University.
