PLUSnotes for points to be brought up during the dialogue segment with Mark Fisher but weren't owing to time running outPLUSafterthoughts on the past, present and future of the hardcore continuum ^^^^^^^^Thanks for coming out tonight. Thanks to curator Heather Corcoran and FACT for inviting me here, thanks also to my friend and colleague Mark Fisher from the Wire for his involvement, we will be having a discussion in a little while, I know he has a lot to say, lots of angles, and then we'll be throwing it open to questions from the audience.
But first, I'm going to talk about this little thing called the Hardcore Continuum Theory.
