Inspired by the seated monologues of Spalding Gray, Sandy Stone presents a performance that will thread together autobiographical stories in order to explore the socialized, constructed self through science, technology, philosophy, medicine, art, and media theory. In anticipation of a feature-length documentary film currently in mid-production on Sandy’s incredible life, New Mexico is the second stop on a multi-city college tour bringing Sandy and her work to a new generation of college students.
