For a number of years, nathaniel stern has been working with the 'non-aggressive narrative' (NAN), a body of multimedia work that proposes the "continuation of a story which is just unfolding." Rather than one-dimensional characters, and a cause and effect plot, the NAN creates encounters between an ambiguous 'I' and a potential 'You'; it implies an origin story that may or may not have occurred.

the storytellers is the first show of several works from the non-aggressive narrative, some produced as early as 1999, others only completed in October of this year. You are invited to add to a collage in motion; as you re-member along with the narrative, you complete / become the work of art.

the storytellers, 'You' and 'I', are unfolding and in process.
