Screening

Monday, November 29, 2010, 6:00 8:30 p.m.

Gallery visitors are encouraged to interact with the exhibition and share their responses in writing, at the gallery or via email (info@ultra-red.org). In addition, the artists are facilitating a public listening session in the gallery, to consider collectively the intersection of object and analysis, and to evaluate and debate the political consequences and possibilities of recording history.

About Ultra-Red
Founded in California in 1994, the international sound art collective Ultra-red collaborates with constituencies involved in migrant rights, fair housing and anti-racist struggles, and efforts to combat the AIDS crisis. Recent projects include School of Echoes, a multi-year exploration of militant sound investigations initiated during a three month residency at Raven Row, London, in early 2009; Silent/Listen, an investigation of the conditions of the AIDS crisis in the U.S. and Canada presented in partnership with, among others, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Andy Warhol Museum, and the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto; We Come From Your Future, an investigation of anti-racism movements in the United Kingdom, presented at Tate Britain, London; and Re:Assembly, a long-term project on migration and citizenship commissioned by the Serpentine Gallery, London. Their work can currently be seen at BAK Utrecht in the exhibition Vectors of the Possible.

This event is presented on the occasion of the Vera List Center’s 2009-2011 focus theme, “Speculating on Change,” and is presented in conjunction with the exhibition, Vogue’ology, on view from November 17, 2010 to November 30, 2010.
