The Spirit of Recession speech by Paul Chan

Recorded at the New School on April 30, 2008, this passionate speech by artist Paul Chan describes the powerful events which hold sway over our time -- recession, war, and a banking scandal -- and their influence on human agency. Towards the end of the talk, Chan urgently underscores the importance of creative expression, as a means to endure and convey the negative consequences of capitalism.
