"Ginger Brooks Takahashi, Dave McKenzie and Lisa Sigal, with curator Eungie Joo" Conversation
The New Museum of Contemporary Art
This event has ended.
Curator Eungie Joo leads a conversation between artists Ginger Brooks Takahashi, Dave McKenzie, and Lisa Sigal about their practices and work in the exhibition “Museum as Hub: Six Degrees.” The exhibition begins as a consideration of “neighborhood”—a question of what the role of a downtown contemporary art museum might be and how the New Museum relates to its new environs. Commissions and time-based projects for this exhibition occupy and engage the neighborhood by employing nearby buildings as canvas, local artists as collaborators, and New Museum territory as meeting place, recital hall, and laboratory.
Ginger Brooks Takahashi’s project an army of lovers cannot fail, an ongoing project since 2004, has been shown and worked on all over North America. Three POWERSTITCHES—Brooks Takahashi’s quilting forums—will be hosted in the Museum as Hub space this fall, continuing the project.
