Conversation

Curated by Niama Safia Sandy, the exhibition Dialogues on a Future Communication is conceived of as a cross-disciplinary forum, evolving around and structured by the work of German artist Jenny Brockmann.

The poetic and architectural installations by Brockmann are activated by the artist in a series of “Entanglements” — conversations among artists, scholars, activists, and researchers on diverse forms of knowledge. Entanglement #2, developed in partnership with the Vera List Center, invites a discussion on culturally specific epistemologies and whether — and how — one might approach reconciliation of these differences. The speakers are artists Stephanie Dinkins and Jes Fan, economist Sheen Levine, anthropologist Elizabeth Povinelli, and sociologist Dina Shvetsov.

The exhibition opens on September 17. Other “Entanglements” are scheduled on the following dates. For further information, please visit 1014 Inc.
