Reads Hannah Arendt

On a cold December day, in the year 2016, from inside a large corner office with two gigantic windows overlooking downtown, Andrew Salyer read from Hannah Arendt’s 'The Origins of Totalitarianism' for seven hours. The reading took place on World Human Rights Day, commemorating the day in 1948 that the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The performance was part of MUNICIPAL, a one-day pop-up art event in the Madison Municipal Building on the eve of its renovation.
