# Event Details - **Event Name**: Book Launch: Some Monologues - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 21 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Tue, 21 Apr, 2026 at 08:30 pm (+08:00) - **Event Description**: A performance by artist and author Tyler Coburn, followed by a conversation with artist and writer Jason Wee.About this EventThis event launches Some Monologues (Wendy’s Subway, 2025), a publication by Tyler Coburn that gathers fifteen years of the artist’s scripts. On this occasion, Coburn presents a new monologue entitled People that draws influence from A Personal History of American Theatre (1980), a one-person performance by the American actor and writer Spalding Gray (1941–2004). Moving through a set of index cards bearing the names of plays he acted in, Gray told stories related to those productions, dwelling on events unfolding behind the scenes. As the order of the index cards was random, no two performances were ever the same. In Coburn’s version, each of his cards indicates the name of a person who has a role in the book: an academic he interviewed for a project, an amorous attendee to one of his monologues, his collaborator Susan Bennett (the original voice actress of Siri), a data center employee who insulted him, and more. People brings focus to his many collaborators and the monologues they helped create. After the performance, Coburn will be joined in conversation by artist and writer Jason Wee.Tuesday, 21 April 20267:00 – 8:30pmThe Hall, NTU CCA SingaporeFree with registrationAbout the bookWorking at the nexus of performance, art writing, and fiction, Tyler Coburn creates monologues that explore how the “I” is marked in speech. His myriad topics—alternate history, legal personhood, digital labor, and resonant frequency, to name a few—defy straightforward modes of presentation, often insisting on site-specificity and social intimacy at the expense of conventional documentation. Some Monologues collects, for the first time, the scripts of Coburn’s work from the past fifteen years, many of which have not previously been published. Accompanying them are texts by eleven artists, writers, curators, and scholars who experienced these performances firsthand, collaborated in their making, conversed with the artist about them, or share an interest in the subjects they engage. Written in theoretical, poetic, and autobiographical registers, these contributions offer new perspectives on the monologue as an expansive and relational form. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/queenstown/book-launch-some-monologues/100001986520247536 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, theatre - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: SGD ## Event venue details - **city**: Queenstown - **state**: SG - **country**: Singapore - **location**: NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore - **lat**: 1.2744852 - **long**: 103.8041748 - **full address**: NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore, Block 6 Lock Road #01-09/10, Queenstown, Singapore ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Book Launch: Some Monologues - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/bdd6ee1bac3f33559a8b925fe8013245b21481a481012d53aa96d9fbd5d7d0f6-rimg-w1200-h801-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1775706355 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Book Launch: Some Monologues being held? - **A:** Book Launch: Some Monologues takes place on Tue, 21 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Tue, 21 Apr, 2026 at 08:30 pm at NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore, Block 6 Lock Road #01-09/10, Queenstown, Singapore. - **Q**: Who is organizing Book Launch: Some Monologues? - **A:** Book Launch: Some Monologues is organized by NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
