Subversive Mathematics: The Outlawing of Venn Diagrams in 1970’s Argentina

by Adelaide Blair

Adelaide Blair invites you to a performance of Subversive Mathematics: The Outlawing of Venn Diagrams in 1970’s Argentina. It is about the Argentinian Dirty War, the subsequent outlawing of Venn diagrams, and the disappearing of people and ideas. Can things be unthought through the sheer force of a government’s will? Is logic subversive? Can harmony be restored by removing all traces of an offending person or material? How far should you go to preserve power if you believe the future of your country is at stake? This event is free and open to the public.

Subversive Mathematics takes place in person at 3:00 pm on Sunday, June 2nd, 2024 at Common Area Maintenance, 2125 2nd Ave, Seattle.

Adelaide Blair

Adelaide Blair is a project-based artist whose research-centered practice allows her to interact with and learn about the world. Her work involves publishing, printmaking, web design, needlework, drawing, writing, performance, and filmmaking. She is also interested in distributed intelligence and how people make art together, and many of her projects involve elements of collaboration or participation. Her subject matter has included ghosts, artificial intelligence, the Greek tragedy Philoctetes, reproductive terms used in printmaking, the Dirty War in Argentina, and networks of corruption in the contemporary art world. She has a substack newsletter where she mostly writes about the financialization of art, but also uses that space for experimental artmaking and other forms of art writing. Originally from Southern Oregon, Adelaide currently resides in Seattle, Washington. She has a BFA from Southern Oregon University, an MBA from the University of Washington Foster School of Business, and an MFA from The Pacific Northwest College of Art. adelaideblair.com adelaideblair.substack.com
