a version of my video work UnRavelling will be on display in an upcoming School of Visual Art (SVA) Summer Residency Program Alumni group show titled Global Positioning System (So You Say You Want A Revolution).

 

This exhibition uses the diverse, global community of SVA's Summer Residency Program alumni to explore migration, immigration, cross-global movement, displacement, multiculturalism and hybrid identities. We investigate the idea that the world is dissolving and re-congealing around the ability of people to communicate across borders, be in multiple places at once and create a non-linear movement space. The artists function as GPS devices, orbiting the globe and sending signals back to various locations, both geographical and virtual.

 

Exhibitiong artists: Gabriela Alva Cal y Mayor, Azhar Chougle, Sonia Louise Davis, Sinem Disli, Sandra Erbacher, Sophia Hadjipapa-Gee, Sarra Idris, Rebecca Kinsey, Kerry Ann Lee, Pooneh Maghazehe, Hala Malak, Eto Otitigbe, Paolo Piscitelli, Paul Seftel, Caridad Sola, Siddhartha Tawadey, Justin Randolph Thompson, Eddie Villanueva.

 

The exhibition is curated by Keren Moscovitch, assistant director of Special Programs and presented by the Division of Continuing Education.
