Peers live

On November 13, Peers was performed live by twelve readers at the Chicago Cultural Center.  This iteration of Peers was commissioned by Industry of the Ordinary for their exhibition at the Cultural Center, Sic Transit Gloria Mundi.  There were two performances at noon and 6PM.  Peers is a choral reading of everything Lee Harvey Oswald said from the moment of Kennedy's assassination to the moment of Oswald's assassination.  It was originally produced as a sound installation, and there's an audio file of the complete text on an earlier post on this blog.  
Many thanks to the readers:
