Screening and Talk with Trevor Paglen and Erik Davis
Tuesday, September 24, 6-8 p.m.*
Free and open to the public
~~~
This West Coast debut is presented in conjunction with CARDINALS, a new body of work marking Trevor Paglen's fifth solo exhibition with Altman Siegel.
The calls started around 2006. I'd spent years poking around and photographing classified Air Force installations, talking to former workers on top-secret airplanes, visiting CIA 'black sites,' and hunting down anyone I could find with knowledge of the Pentagon's 'black world.' I was furiously working on a book about what I'd discovered. That's when the calls started...
Doty is a strange and mercurial character: after leaving the Air Force he came out as a UFO 'whistleblower,' telling stories about 'real' UFO programs he was tasked with protecting. In our conversations, he mentioned that the Air Force has an unofficial code name for exotic aircraft of unknown origin: CARDINALS.
Why UFOs? Why have they been so closely linked to technology and disinformation? UFOs are deeply weird: they simultaneously exist and do not exist.
