It’s Not What The World Needs Right Now: a live essay by Andrew Norman Wilson In the twenty-tens, Andrew Norman Wilson had seen his art go viral a few times, and landed four biennials—the start of a promising career. In “It’s Not What the World Needs Right Now,” his recent essay for issue 73 of The Baffler, Wilson asks what precisely that looks like in an industry that pays in clout and almost never in cash. For one night only, join Wilson for a live video essay presentation of “It’s Not What the World Needs Right Now,” featuring new images, videos, and passages that paint a stark portrait, replete with a rib removal and an episode of penguin-induced dissociation, of his departure from a contemporary art world whose works serve no one but yacht owners and curatorial bureaucrats with terminal degrees.
