“Presented by the Vera List Center, the project comprises an ‘exhibition and pedagogical film set’ involving a weekly, two-month-long workshop, a public study group, and movement-based performances. The project is Husni Bey’s first site-specific work; staged in the BAT’s Annex, the building usually functions as a manufacturing hub as well as a COVID testing and vaccination site. The concrete, open-floorplan structure was originally constructed during the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic as a military supply base, and Husni Bey elegantly weaves the current sociopolitical and historical resonances into her installation.”
