On Saturday, September 13th, artist Matthew David Rana performed a speech series on top of a grass mound. He presented five speeches ranging from; two speeches from Ingmar Bergman’s Fanny and Alexander; a discourse concerning an ideal schedule, by Eric Steen; a transcript from a supreme court case dealing with free speech, public space and private space, a collaboration with the artist Amy Balkin; and a polemic on Utopia by Justin Fiset.

Downloads from each of these speeches are linked below followed by an interview between myself and Matthew.
