CONVERSATIONS ON ART
Interdisciplinary takes on key issues in American art and culture
Introducing Day for Night:
History, Politics, Uncertainties
SATURDAY, MARCH 4; 6PM
In this evening of three conversations, exhibiting artists Mark di Suvero, Rirkrit Tiravanija, DeeDee Halleck (Deep Dish Television Network), Matthew Day Jackson, Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla, and the collaborative Otabenga Jones & Associates (Dawolu Jabari Anderson, Jamal Cyrus, Kenya Evans, and Robert A. Pruitt) join Day for Night curators Chrissie Iles and Philippe Vergne to consider key currents in the show. Speakers weigh the uses of history or historical reference, political interventions and new modes of making art politically, and what the curators have dubbed “uncertain identities and unfixed images.” Purchase Tickets online
Fugitives: Objects, Practices, Communities
SATURDAY, APRIL 1; 6PM
This evening’s three conversations take up the twilight character of Day for Night, the sense of artists working, as Biennial curator Philippe Vergne has described, “in a space between day and night, between the history of forms and the forms of history. . .[where] many things are called into question or obscured.” With exhibiting artists Carolina Caycedo, Lori Cheatle, Trisha Donnelly, Jutta Koether, Gedi Sibony, Reena Spaulings, Zoe Strauss, Jordan Wolfson, and Daisy Wright.
