"Re:Group: Beyond Models of Consensus" Exhibition
Eyebeam Art & Technology Center
This event has ended.
Re:Group: Beyond Models of Consensus is an exhibition which examines models of participation and participation as a model in art and activism.
Re:Group proposes that with participation now a dominant paradigm, structuring social interaction, art, activism, the architecture of the city, and the economy, we are all integrated into participatory structures whether we want to be or not. The exhibition showcases work that subverts existing systems or envisions new alternatives to the ways in which individuals can take part, or choose not to take part, in social and cultural life.
Re:Group will include a full complement of public programs, organized as part of Eyebeam's annual Summer School program. Eyebeam Summer School offers a lively mix of master classes, free public lectures, hands-on workshops and skillshares, and youth programs. Visit eyebeam.org for a complete schedule of activities.
The exhibition not only presents completed work through gallery installations, but also functions as a platform for new collaborative work. Through workshops, master classes, and discussions led by the exhibiting artists, the processes and methodologies behind the work are opened up to gallery visitors and invited communities, providing an opportunity to extend and reinterpret the artists' ideas in new and unexpected ways.
