"An Evening with Joshua Mosley" will be part of the Museum of Modern Art's Modern Mondays series. Philadelphia artist Mosley uses stop-motion animation to explore communication and the ways in which technology complicates it. He presents recent work, including DREAD (2007). Installed at the fifty-second Venice Biennale, the work is a morality play in which the worlds of thought, imagination, and the subconscious are conjured and easy conclusions are forestalled. An animated photographic forest is the background against which two characters -- French philosophers Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Blaise Pascal -- hold a conversation on the relationship between God-given natural order, free will, and the human and animal conditions. The event will begin at 7:00 pm. For more information, visit moma.org.
