Deepak Sarma, professor of South Asian religions and philosophy, will present a talk at the Museum of Contemporary Art–Cleveland (MOCA) Jan. 16 at 7 p.m. The talk, which is free and open to all, is titled “Simon Says ‘Nothing’: Deepak Sarma on Simon Evans.”
Evans is an artist who meticulously assembles simple materials like paper scraps, tape, pencil shavings and Wite-Out into lists, diagrams, maps and flowcharts that catalog the fragments of life.
In this in-gallery talk, Sarma will consider how Evans’ work uses language to go beyond language in a transcendent effort.
